They're still recovering from tornado damage so the club house and amenities are basically non-extant. The course was in impressive condition comparative to others in the local area.

Great course

Nice golf course and priced right. I paid maybe $45. I’m sure I caught the perfect weekend. Got a tee time Friday night for Saturday 8am. Played in 3 hours. The course was really nice. Met the pro great guy. Let me hit range balls for free. And let me play golf Friday for free because I missed that last tee time. Really cool guy!

Wet but playable.

This is a typical old school Florida golf course. The conditions were pretty good, just a little wet in some areas because of the recent rains. Greens are coming back nicely after recent airification.

Would like to play it again when it dries out.

I think I saw Swamp Thing teeing off

Not worth playing at this time due to the swampy conditions. Hole number one was cart path only (like almost all the rest) because of being too wet, had sprinklers running!

When this course drys out it’s beautiful but right now it’s not worth it.

Great course and weather

Great course and conditions. Greens have been recently aerated, so putting was a bit interesting. 😁.

Always enjoy playing this course when visiting.

Course had lots of weeds, cut grass pooled all over the fairway. No one informed us that the greens had been aerated. Was not worth the money paid.

9 hole

The fairways and greens were a little flooded but in great shape. Rough needs to be cut once in a while

Wet

Due to being so close to sea level the course was quite wet. Course path only golfing! The wet fairways (standing water in large areas) made it a bit difficult to get to your ball at times. We will definitely try this course again in Fall through Winter when it’ll be drier!

Good shape but rained out

I was pleasantly surprised as the course was dry considering all the rain recently.

I am so glad to see the Plantation back on Golf Now. I was my go to course until they removed it from the play list.

I will be back playing

the Plantation often if it stays with Golf Now.

Hot weather

Have played here several times.

Always enjoyed. Hurricane has caused most of the trees to be removed, so harder to find shade from the heat. Hurricane also trashed the clubhouse, so now working from a trailer. Construction set to begin soon. But course still in good condition. Drink & snack cart made several trips during our round. Had to stop between 9's due to heat exhaustion and staff very concerned and helpful. Will be back again when the weather breaks.

Excellent Greens

Their Greens are up there with the best in the Tri-County area. Rolled so smooth and true. Tee Boxes and Fairways were in good shape, as well. The location of the course lends for some wetness in some areas around the course, not allowing for mowing for so of the rough off the Fairways. Carts had GPS. Looking forward to going back again soon
