Very well kept course

Very good greens and nice round. Guy in pro shop was really nice and welcoming. Good conversation. You can hit your driver many holes.

Poorly marked

The course itself was pretty nice. Fairways and greens in good condition. The problem my group had was that the course was not marked. None of us had played the course before. Not a single tee marker. We kept having to refer to the tiny course layout on the scorecard to find out where the next tee was located. It wasn't always obvious. The "on cart " information screen did give the hole total yardage, but it is not a GPS device and could not give distance to the hole. It was pretty worthless. Very few yardage markers in the Fairways. We were guessing most of the round how far it was to the pin. Disappointing.

Selective Rule Enforcement

Booked a hot deal with a buddy. One of our other buddies had plans get cancelled the night before the tee time so he decided he wanted to play last minute. Other two hot deal tee times have been booked so no luck for him. But we play there all the time and it’s not usually super crowded so we told him to call the pro shop the next morning and see if he could squeeze in. He calls and talked to Jackie. Jackie says sorry old buddy but they already have 4 and I can’t let 5 go off because we’re booked out until 12:30. Okay, no biggie, that was the expected response… BUT… we get to the course and hit the range and watch 2 groups of 5 tee off on the tee times directly in front of us. We go to the tee box and the other two that booked the hot deal didn’t show so we go ahead. Found out at the turn that they did check in but played on a different tee time. We play 2 holes before anyone tees off behind us. We play as a 2some behind 2 groups of 5 all day after we were told we couldn’t play as a 5some (which we didn’t ask to do) and got told one more person couldn’t come when there was all kinds of room on the course. They don’t even have a starter so they honestly don’t care how groups tee off. But to be told we couldn’t do something and then had to play behind 2 groups doing what we were told we couldn’t… that’s stupid and our round took 4 1/2 hours. Pic added so you could see what we were stuck behind all day

Love this course

Goose Pond - Plantation is always in excellent shape, and the value is unbeatable when finding a deal on GolfNow. My group thoroughly enjoyed our time playing.

Nice Course, First Time

Pretty nice course, better than I expected. Pretty interesting layout that is in good condition. Greens were a bit slow & grainy, but consistent with some character. There is a wide range of tee boxes which would make the course suitable for all levels.

Beware on #16 as there is a pond at the corner of the fairway over a hill - it’s a blind shot and you have no idea how far out it is…be nice to have a plate saying 220yds to pond (or whatever, from each tee.

Also, beware on #6, a Par 5 with a pond in front of green, mostly on right side. It’s not visible from the fairway, but there is a blue flag you can laser-shoot to make sure you lay back far enough…good hole, just got to know it’s there.

I’ll be back.

Incredible Value. Highly Recommend

Snagged a deal for $45, and MORE than worth it. Even at the full weekday price of $65, it would have been more than fair. One of the most scenic courses I've ever played, with nearly every hole having water views. Very playable course despite all the water, and pace of play was outstanding. Will definitely be back.

plantation

Course is good shape, bunkers very nice. No carts available was not brought one, just told to go out back and find one that is on. Staff is not family friendly. My guess is they aren’t happy working there?

Solid Deal

Course is always in decent shape. Not a challenging layout, can spray it left and right and still be in play. Pace of play in the early morning is always great, usually finish in around 3hrs. No frills/extras but good value.
