Short course

Although a few greens had done dry spots, the overall shape of the course was in very good shape. I will play this course again.

Plantation of Crystal River

Looks like this was an old Country Club with cement paths everywhere. The layout is really confusing because they put par 3 course holes within the 18 hole course. The fairways especially the first hole is very suspect. It got a “little “ better after that. The one good thing is the condition of the greens. For the most part they held well and putted true.

Fun and fast public course, just be mindful of how fast the greens can be when they’re dry.

Slowest ever

When the pace of play is so slow that one quits before the round is over it ruins the entire experience. We quit after a completely frustrating 13 holes. This is the first time that I have not completed a round in reasonable weather conditions.

Very Nice Older Course

This course is an older course that needs some work. But don’t let that sway you. It’s a fun and challenging layout that is in a quaint little town with great people. The cost was perfect for this course.
