Plantation on Crystal River

the course was so wet ,the rough was so muddy lost a lot of balls.signage was poor.not worth the long drive for this course. Not impressed.u

Fairways were in great shape despite daily summer showers

Course reminds me of a Hilton Head Course beautiful landscape

We played after a heavy rain the day before so the course was a little wet. The greens had just been verticut and were a little slow and bumpy, but still very puttable. Nice layout with doglegs and water in play if you hit really bad shots. We will pay again.

Pickup a HOT DEAL in the morning. (It's cheep)

If you keep the ball in the fairway you will have a great time playing this course.

Greens are plush and faster than NASCARnive and open with lots of water I would recommended this course to any one that is in the crystal river area that plays gold to stop in and try it out

The greens, except for #1, were in very good condition. The fairways were excellent! The routing of the holes is confusing, but the very nice lady in the Pro Shop showed us on the scorecard layout where to go. The back 9 is longer and more challenging than the front. There were lots of birds and we saw an alligator out of the water that was probably 10 feet long. We were very impressed and would not hesitate to return to play and would definitely recommend this course!

Paid about $16 for a 9-hole tee off time of 7:38. I thought that meant I had to play the easier Lagoon course, but was informed in pro shop that I could play the front nine of the championship course. There was nobody in front of me or behind the whole time so it was relaxing.

We had played this course a couple of years ago and vowed never to return. At that time the course was in terrible shape. What a pleasant surprise we had when we played this Sunday. The course is in excellent condition. It has a few holes offering challenging water hazards which make your golf game interesting. There were 2 of us golfing and when we arrived, it was recommended that we start on the back nine due to a very slow group who were still teeing off after arriving late for their tee time. It was a great suggestion as they were just finishing the 9th hole when we arrived at that hole. We played 18 holes to their nine and still caught up with them! We will definitely be back to play here again and are glad we decided to try this course again.

early morning, quiet and pleasant.
Staff very friendly.

The course at The Plantation Inn was good for a fun afternoon of golf. Good value at $25 pp with cart. The setting is "old South" with lots of trees, interesting wildlife, and a few tricky water hazards. I'm a 36 handicap, my boyfriend is an 18, and we both found the course challenging enough for a relaxed round of match play. Fairways are plush & in great shape, but the greens could use work--some burnouts, ant hills, and a bit scruffy--could be mowed a little tighter for better consistency. Awesome friendly staff. Would play this course again.

First couple of greens were a little rough but once we got to #3 they were nice. Lot of water hazards and the course also tends to be wet during the summer rainy season. Fairways were great, nice layout. Overall a good place to play. Got a great deal on Golf Now.

Except for the very 1st. hole the course was in excellent shape.There was no waiting and the staff was quite congenial and helpful.I am particularly thankful because I left a club there and was able to retrieve it the next day.

I've lived in Citrus County for 10 years now and Plantation used to always have top-notch greens. My Dad used to come down to Plantation for the weekend to stay and play golf in the '80s.
Last summer the greens were miserable.
Yesterday, there were several greens that are majorly hurting. The others had good grass, but poor putting conditions. SLOW and super grainy.
Really a sad situation when the rest of the golf course was in very good condition.
Where did the greens go?

Front nine too easy. Back nine some holes too long. Greens on front a little sketchy. Good par 3s

Although the greens had been punched recently they were in better shape then almost all the other greens around that haven't been. The fariways are in excellent condition being green and not the typical greenish brown everywhere else. They also have actual sand in the bunkers instead of the sand dirt mixture most other courses have. If you are not getting a real good deal somewhere else this course is worth the extra money!

Pro shop was curt.

Bag boy very friendly.

Greens not very good.Recently "scored" which made putting very tough.
Fairways sparse and very wet with standing water.It hasn't rained in weeks....go figure.

Some of the greens were showing need of attention. I understand that aeration is planned for this week which should improve matters

If you have not tried this course it is highly recommended. A great experience and great value for the money.

At first glance, this established course looks pretty benign-pretty flat, lots of trees lining the visible, nice fairways, etc. But when you get into the meat of the course, you soon realize that you are facing some very challenging holes. Be sure to check the course layout to find all the subtle water hazards that dot the edges of the fairways-they can really surprise you. There are some lengthy par 4's and 5's, and the back nine is harder than the front. Greens were just aerated when we played, but they are normally fast and true with plenty of undulations. Practice facilities are rather minimal but adequate, and you are not allowed to hit the driver on the practice range. The course is normally in good to excellent shape (I've played it many times). All in all, this is a great value and an excellent course in my opinion. Challenging, yet fun, fair, and doable.
