Coming back
It was nice to see the course coming back after the Hurricanes.
Excellent Green, rest of the course was terrible
I had heard good things about this course and tried it out. For ~$40 it wasn't awful but the only good thing was the greens. They were in great shape. Otherwise the layout is mostly boring, very little to no grass in the fairways or around the greens. I am happy to see the course reopen after the storm damage but they need more time to grow grass before I would recommend this course. Not a bad place for beginners as its fairly open, with a few tighter holes. Not worth the money or drive time. No working bathrooms, just port o potties.
Course is fun to play.
Course is in good shape. 90 degree rule in effect, to keep fairways more manageable. Great idea. Go play this course, have fun
Greens
The greens are in excellent condition, fairways will be better with some rain. Enjoyable course to play.
Probably play somewhere else if you can
A few of the greens have damage. Most of the fairways are bare por burnt out. Most of the greens where decent. The pace of play was very slow. I would play some where else if there was other options currently.
Will definitely be back
The course lacks amenities at this time, they are trying to fix this. So bring your drinks and snacks with you. This course layout is quite different than others in the area. The Greens except hole 2 are in excellent conditions, that’s the highlight of this course and the reason I will be back. The tee boxes could use some love but they are acceptable. The bunkers and sand traps were in good condition. Some fairways were in good condition, others have some areas without grass, this did not affect my game.
Wildlife and golf. Happy day on the course!
Overall the course was in good condition. You have to remember it is in a tidal basin and subject to frequent flooding. The fairways take a beating, but still playable. The greens are always in great shape and putt true. The staff are friendly and helpful. The wildlife on the course is varied, from alligators to all manner of birds, from eagles to ibis. It is a challenging course, but very fun. It will be nice to have a clubhouse for the 19th hole when they are completely re-built. But all in all, a great way to spend 4 hours!
Plantation GC
Great to see the Plantation back up and running. Greens were in really good shape, fairways are coming along.
Need a 19th hole
They were going through some new construction upgrades. There is no food or drinks so you can only grab a candy bar, chips and soda or water. No Cart person of course. But there is a great food place across the street you can meet after golf called Cedar River Seafood
Warm welcome
A warm welcome whether talking about the weather or the friendliness of the people. The greens were great but the fairways needed more grass. Perhaps as we move through the rainy season that too will improve. Overall it was a good day.
Much improved
Greens were great condition. Fairways need a little help, but overall great value.
Fun course to play
Tee boxes , hole signage , layout were vert nice . Staff was very friendly ! They appear to be working hard to improve the course ! Price is a little too steep foe current conditions.
Course is in good shape considering it hasn't been opened in a few years.
Happy to be back playing on it.
Fun course
The entire facility is under renovation and there hasn't been rain in forever, but considering those things the course is perfectly ok. The greens are in great shape but the fairways and tee boxes are dry and grass sparse in some areas. It's a nice track though and is playing nicely.
Good condition considering the drought
The greens are in good condition though a bit slow and the tees are in very good condition. The fairways are a bit sparce due to the very serious drought. Best course conditions in the Crystal River area.
Glad to have it !
Due to storms & flooding, the course had been closed for a couple seasons. A new ownership group has come in and are putting a ton of investment in and making significant improvements. The course itself is currently in pretty good shape, and the greens are really nice!
