Golf

Course is average. It was very dry and the greens were very grainy. Sand traps all needed work. The hot deal rate of $30.99 was too high in my opinion. The rack rate at this course is $50.00 which is utterly ridiculous. This course should be $40.00 at the most.

Revamped Colony Course

Played 15 Sep. Course is in great condition. Friendly pro shop attendant let me off an hour before my tee time ( played Plantation course earlier in the morning). Greens still need more time to soften but roll true even with recent aerating. Will definitely return. Kudos to the young lady in the pro shop who got me on the course early.

First Time Playing

The $25.00 discount was applied to the reservation but I then cancelled. The $25.00 made my credit less and did I lose it or can it be applied later

Is my $25?discount now lost as it was part of credit and not really used.

Nice Course

Caught a great deal on GN, haven’t played here in years but thoroughly enjoyed our round. Course is in great shape from tee to green. Will definitely put this back into my rotation of courses to play. If you haven’t played here in awhile I encourage you to do so. Pace of play was great as well

My favorite course!

I love playing at this course even though it’s 45 minutes from my home. The layout is great and I have never ran into anyone out there with bad etiquette. Very peaceful and just a fun place to play.

We Really Had Fun!!!

We loved the course. Just 2 of us and we got behind a slow moving group but they let us play through. Really nice guys.

The greens are a little hard to read but the course is outstanding. No bare patches, just beautiful greens.

We are planning another visit.

Always a Great Time!

Try to get out to Plantation about once a month. Best greens in the area. Course layout is simple but fun.

Good layout! Generous fairways.

The greens are excellent. The fairway are not in perfect shape but good. Some of the teasition areas definitely need improvement. Overall a fun course to play, especially if you are trying to find your game.
