Golf at The Plantation.

Unfortunately it had a lot of rain over the past few days but stood up well. We kept to the card path as directed and it was necessary because some areas had not completely drained. Overall improving and worth playing! it is similar to my course in the UK called Bransford Golf Club in Worcestershire!

The course has potential.

It’s apparent they are trying to revive the course, but currently it’s in rough shape.

Course needs repair from huŕicanes etc

This course had extensive damage and is still recovering

The staff is excellent, several holes are in very good shape. Future of the course looks excellent. Give it a try but also give nature and the excellent crew time to repair.

Plantation

I want to give an honest review. The course the greens etc were in terrible shape. That being said this course was damaged from the hurricane. I look forward when it is all repaired.

Buildings are being updated too. So let's give it time

Work in progress

First time playing here. Still recovering from hurricane damage. Course has wide open layout with many parallel fairways and tee boxes. It’s a little confusing to first timers. Carts nice, greens are getting there, grass is being grown in fairways. Look forward to playing it again too see how it has improved.

Let’s do it again

This is a fun track and I recommend it to anyone. I drove all the way from Ocala to play this course and it was worth it.

Working Hard Here

Course has a great layout and looks to me like they are working hard to bring it back to life

Some dry areas obviously but generally green were good , fairways decent and tee decks level and good . Would recommend this track at a fair price 3 plus tee decks to meet your personal choice for length .
