Plantation Palms Golf Club

I play Plantation Palms 4-5 times a year and the course seems to have improved some each time. The course has a mix of challenging and straight forward holes. It is in good condition and has recovered nicely from the heavy rains and winds of the two recent hurricanes. It definitely seems to have faired better than some other local corses. The staff has always been polite and helpful. The fairways were in good condition, they are fairly wide but if you miss the fairway, the rough can be tough. It was hard to find your ball in some spots. The greens were very nice. The back nine seemed to hold approach shots better than the front, but they all rolled nice and were pretty fast. There were only a few ball marks on the greens that were not repaired but most seemed to be freshly made earlier that day. It appears the staff is making an effort to keep the greens repaired and in good condition.

Overall course is in good shape and fun track. We had a bad experience with a guy in golf cart. It was a big bald guy who was on a power trip. We paid for two golfers and were allowed to go out with just us per ranger. On the 4th hole he approached us in a very unprofessional manner saying we needed to wait for the two some behind us bc there has to be 4 on every hole. First I’ve ever heard that especially with the group in front of us cancelling there tee time. Keep in mind it was almost 1pm. There was two behind us and a group of four walking behind them which they wouldn’t keep up with carts anyways. After telling the guy I wanted to play with my son and myself he said then you need to pay for all four spots followed up by I run this show. Needless to say we paired up and it was an older couple and the lady had to hit 3 times before I got to my tee shot. Long story short paid for 18 and left after 9 because we could no longer enjoy fathers and son time bc some guy on a power trip.

I don’t want to sound overly negative but there just wasn’t anything special about the course. It is a public course that is heavily played. The driving range was packed at noon. The greens were nice but plenty of ball marks that went unrepaired. It isn’t a terrible course but just nothing special about it.

Great course good price, pace was super slow never saw a ranger either but it was expected on a Sunday after two bad weekends of weather.

Course is decent shape form just having a hurricane, green were fast.

It took over 5 hours to complete the round. Group ahead was playing from the blue tees and rarely hit anything straight. Many times they were driving 50-60 yards up to hit again a ranger should’ve been out there telling them to pick up the pace. We waitress at least 5-10 minutes at the tee box on every hole. None of us played well, and we were teeing off with the group behind us watching on every single hole.

Also, at $60-70 per round, I wouldn’t have expected to see the greens completely full of divots. I don’t think a single person fixes them. It’s extremely irritating when you can’t get a true roll on any hole. The fairways were fine but the rough was pretty long and difficult to find the ball, even only 5 feet off the fairway.

I had a great time playing at plantation Palms. The range was great i And the greens were rolling fast. Best value in the Tampa Bay area that I have found.

Very wet which means long grass and tee box greens rolled well

Everything was great. Tee to fast, fine greens,. Highly recommend!

Course was a little wet from rain, so it was CPO on day we played but course was still very playable, and greens were immaculate and fast. Very nice and fun layout, large greens, very well maintained!

Golf course was fine, the only thing I requested to be paired with someone since it was my first time playing there. The players that I was paired with did not wanted any part of me, I had to play by myself not knowing where most of the holes were. Did not particularly like the idea of carrying the golf clubs from the car to the pro shop.

Nice course, challenging greens, horrific pace. We played at 8:21 on a Monday and it was a 5 hour round.

The course was extremely wet I only wish golf now had a course alert for CPO besides that I would love to play again when it dries out. The greens were still fast despite all the rain fall and in nice shape, the fairways and bunkers were pretty good also.

Had a great time golfing this beautiful course while in Tampa on vacation. It was hot, but a quick rain cooled it off right after we got started. Lovely course.

No cart Girl made for a hot afternoon since no coolers allowed.
