A lot for your $$

Nice golf course for 23$! Greens and sand traps were in good shape, the different tees will suit anyones handicap. And people are very friendly in Crystal River! If I lived there, I would seriously become a member at this club!

Great Winter Day

Great winter day, 82 degrees and sunny with a nice breeze, what more can you want. The course was in good shape and the greens very fast. I'll be back.

Nice day at crystal River, FL

Great hot deal rate from golfnow. Played with my Brother in early February... Neither of us had played this course. Played a hole not on our course. There is an executive course layed out next to the championship course. Not real clear on which is which but we figured it out..... the staff was gracious to allow us to play a little earlier than our tee time. A foursome (two couples) allowed our two some to play through at which point our pace really took off.... Had a great day....

Got put behind an outing without warning. The outing would not finish before dark so only olayed nine. Why do that with no warning and also start the outing when they cant finish either. Not very well done by management. Course in ok condition. Nothing special about the layout.

DO NOT PLAY THE EXECUTIVE 9!!!!

A couple of days ago we played the plantation championship 18 and it was ok so we decided to try the executive 9 for a quick round and this course is a junk course! Don't waste your time for the same price for the hot deal as the 18. We paid $17 each for this junk! The 9 is not marked so you have no idea where you are going and it's mixed in with the 18...brutal layout. Must have been designed by a farmer!! Surprised we didn't see any livestock grazing in the fairways. Play the 18 championship but only for a hot deal.

Good Shape

The weather was great and the course was too. All the greens putted well and fairways were in great shape. Paired with three cheese heads who were a ball to play with so it was a great day all around.

Nice course but bad drainage

A fair course just in a low lying area of west Florida so always wet fairways.There hasn't been much rain lately but the course is in an area where water is all around.With soggy fairways course plays a little longer and solid contact on approach and chip shots is crucial.Greens are mostly in good shape,a few need work,but run good with quick speed.Not a hard course,length isn't a factor but many holes placement is more important.
