Another great day for golf

This course is in pretty good shape, staff is awesome, facility is clean and food is also good. Great consistent experience every time we’ve been there the last few weeks.

Good value for a fair course.

This is 2nd time we played the course. We like the layout. The course is competitive yet fair. The course is in very good shape. We will play again.

It would have been nice.

Although the course to me is in decent shape, it would have been nice to play the front nine instead of having to play the back 9 twice that kinda blew me , oh well.

Nice course

Kind of quirky course, need some local knowledge. Fun course though, decent shape, just not a premium type experience.

Boat course

Course was so wet I needed a boat to play. One hole closed because of water. Couldn’t drive cart only on cement paths because of water in fairways. Sand traps full of water. Course should have been closed. Nice course when in dry conditions.

Plantation on Crystal River

Greens and tee boxes recently overseeded. Course was still quite wet from heavy rains but still very playable. Some areas of tight lies. Picturesque, tree lined fairways layout with bunker protected greens.

Great Course

Got through the first sloppy 9, dont get me wrong it had rained the day before, so its all good, make it a bit more challenging then normal. lol. so we stopped to get a drink and something to eat at the turn and BAM here comes the rain. the pro shop was kind enough to let us come back to play the back 9 today however on our way to go play rain started coming in.. tropical storm gordon has ruined it for us,so we're not able to play our back 9.. :((( but love the course.

Mature golf course

Enjoyed the lay out very challenging but the course was very wet, so they couldn't mow. We would play this again in drier times!
