Always a pleasure.

The wife wanted to play golf on Mothers Day, so I booked The Plantation Course. I still believe this is the best kept golf secret in the area. We literally had the entire course to ourselves, and the course was in wonderful shape. Kudos to the grounds keeping staff.

If you are looking for a great relaxing round of golf without being pushed, or having to wait at every tee-box, then The Plantation Course is for you!

First Time Playing

This course is 30-50 yards to long on all the par 4’s and 2 of the par 5’s for the average lady golfer. It is very beautiful and in great shape. Today is the 1st time I have played it and not sure I will play it again because of distance. My husband loved it and senior men probably would for sure because the course for them overall is only 73 yards longer for them then the ladies which is very sad for the ladies. What makes it even worse is that the Golf Operations Manager is a female, you would think she would be more mindful of the ladies then that.

Goose Pond doesn’t disappoint.

Course in great shape. It’s long from the forwards which is a good challenge. Geese everywhere but on the greens. Very impressed. Played three times there and always delivers a fine time.

Best easy course in the area.

This course is perfect for 15+ handicap player like myself. You get the great quality fairways, greens, tee boxes, etc without the punishing layout from most high quality courses. This course is in phenomenal condition right now.

Fast greens

I have played past few games at different places with recently atreated greens so putting on them was like a washboard. These here were too smooth so we were all going past the hole or scared. It was great.

Always a good course

The Bermuda fairways were on the verge of hibernating for winter but still in good shape. The greens were excellent. Course was very well groomed. Goose Pond Lake is always a fun and scenic play. Weather was cool (55) but no wind and we dressed appropriately.

It was a pleasure

I've played this course a few times, and it's always been a pleasure to play here. The course was in great shape and the greens were fast. The thing I like most about this course is that it is in the middle of nowhere! No highway or traffic noise. very peaceful and relaxing. The few times I have been here, there were very few other golfers. No waiting and no one pushing. We just took our time and had a great round of golf.
