The greens are beautiful, putt true.

You better score on the front 9, because the back nine can be a challenge .

Fun course, pretty easy.

Played with my 86 year old Mom. Easy enough course for her to play with usually no one in front or behind us to rush us. Eighth hole most challenging for her. We named it the snake pit hole! Cute little course for the price to play 9 holes. I pay that much on Long Island with a league and I walk!

Typical FL low land course, flat

Flat but wind make change. Very good green. Birds, chirping, aligators sleeping on the course. Fun playing there. Money worthy.
A little wet on some spots after rain.

The plantation Championship Course

Had a great time. The value for the price was great. Played with some local guys..... They made me feel like I was a one of them. The course was fun to play, not difficult but fair. Greens putted true and a little on the fast side. Definitely would return.

Nice course

5 Handicapper. Visiting family in the area. Played the day after a big rain storm, course was wet, but playable. Greens were in excellent condition and putted true. Fairways, considering the water, were nice. Fairly good design for being on mostly flat terrain. I would definitely play again if I return to this area.

Nice Older Course for Enjoyable Afternoon Round

We picked up this course as an alternate in the afternoon and really enjoyed the round. The course is relatively short by modern standards, but this allows for more options off the tee box. The overall course conditions were good; greens rolled true and nice playing turf from the fairway. There are some nice tight openings from the tee box too! Water is in play on several holes. The rough is a hodge podge of grasses. The pro was very helpful and friendly. This is more of a locals course than a tourists course, but if you need one more round before the Florida sun sets give it a try.

Plantation at Crystal River

This is the third time I played this course. I am a 12 handicap. The front 9 is shorter and easier than the back side, The back side is narrow and you have to keep the ball straight to stay out of trouble. The fairways are in good shape, the greens are large and slopping there isn't a flat put out there. AT ALL COST STAY BELOW THE HOLE. Staff are friendly and accommodating, I would recommend this course to anyone it is fun to play, challenging but you have enough good scoring holes to balance the course out,

Best in town

I thoroughly enjoyed The Plantation. Greens were smooth and in great shape. Putts rolled true. I have played this course before and believe it is presently in the best shape ever. We will certainly be going back for more of this course.

Soggy but not too shabby

Course well maintained. Avoid playing after a heavy rain, course does not drain well. Imperative to keep ball in fairway , Tough to find balls in the rough.
Friendly staff and excellent food at the bar. Overall can't complain for $12

Good for the price

Course was in good shape considering hate massive amounts of rain the area recieved during the week. Some greens and fairways left a little to be desired but for this time of year that is to be expected. Overall I would play there again, especially for the price.

The Course was in very poor condition.
Greens were incredible bad.

No Notice of Aeration

This course has gone downhill since he last time I played there 2 years ago. The biggest disappointment was that there was no mention when booking that the course had just been aerated. It was also the worst aeration job I have ever seen. The ball bounced on the greens like it was a ping pong ball. We played 3 holes and quit. When I mentioned the lack of notice about aeration to the pro shop all I got was a shrug of the shoulders. I checked again today 5 days after I booked and there I still no mention of aeration. I will never go back.

So so

They were pluging the greens did not now. So they had back nine closed. At best it's in fair shape greens need work mainly caused by winter. Price was more than fair at less than buck a hole. Looks like they are just doing the.best they can on very tight buget. Just locals playing not very crowded .
