Plantation Lakes Golf and Country Club

I rated the course conditions as excellent, given the time of year I doubt you could find better conditions tee to green. A couple of the back nine greens are uniquely sloped one in particular the punch bowl 12th is different to say the least. Back nine routes through active home construction but not an issue for play.

Enjoyed playing this course for the first time. Good layout and course was pretty firm considering time of year. Greens rolled nice and had nice undulation. Will definitely be back.

Good course. Greens were nice. Course was surprisingly pretty firm. Really enjoyed this round. We will be back.

Great course, great value in excellent condition for all the rain we’ve had. Highly recommend!

So you can only expect so much from any course in Delaware in the first week of January, especially after a couple of days of rain. But the course conditions were as good as one could possibly expect, and they had the good sense to have tees moved up since you didn't get much rollout and not much carry either in cool, windy weather. But I'll take it for a very enjoyable round this time of year at a great price.

Hazards abound although the course is very playable if you can control your golf ball. So I'd suggest that beginners find a more forgiving course, but everyone else should enjoy it. Approach shots were quite tricky as some are blind and the green shapes often made it difficult to gauge distance, particularly with cart path only despite GPS on the carts. I'd read that the greens had some crazy undulation, and that's definitely true for #12 although I got the benefit of it in my round. Overall, due to the time of year the greens played highly deceptively with breaks opposite of how things looked (playing companions agreed), but rolled true. Don't expect to make many putts until you've played the course multiple times.

As for #12, perhaps they should rethink a 60% slope (or whatever it is) although it did remind me of miniature golf which I love almost as much as the real thing. In theory, depending on where they place the cup on that green, if coulld be a par 8 often requiring up to 6 putts. And it's not like the terrain required it. This part of Delaware is flat as a pancake so they had to intentionally sculpt it that way. I know it's a short hole and they needed to add some challenge, but it's okay to have a easier hole every now and then rather than trick it up.

Overall, it's a great course I hope to play in summer when I'd get the full experience.

Really fun course with a wonderful design. Brand new and in great shape, even in the winter.

What a great course!! Tough layout but still getable. Green complexes are tricky. Cant wait to play it again.

First time seeing the new 9. Nice contrast and amazing undulations in the greens. Freezing day but can image it at 80° with lunch on the porch after. Stay masked so that HAPPENS !

Gorgeous course and staff are beyond nice. Can't wait to play there again.

Great course, great practice facility, friendly helpful people working there. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Extremely challenging course with long par fours even from the front tees. Back nine is fairly new but the whole course is very well-kept.

For a new course at least the new nine- very playable nice mix to long and short - nice balance of hazards- tee to green very fair- the greens esp on the back nine were extraordinarily difficult very fast and very undulating- on Saturday when you combine the wind and the speed of the green it was difficult- I play to a 16 handicap so if you a higher handicap be ready as the greens are truly the challenge of this course- the course beat me up but I will return
