Plantation on Crystal River

Called what is now "the pro shop" & finally got someone to pick up the phone, been trying occasionally for a month now, anyway, it's 3/3/24 & I ask the gentleman if the range was open yet, he said only if ur playing golf, I said ok, how much is it at noon, he said $70, I honestly laughed at him, so we can't use the range unless we intend to play, now they're charging $70 for a track that's worth $30 on its finest day, they have 2 postage stamp practice greens, 1 for Chipping, 1 for putting & no range use unless ur playing. TOURISTS, put ur money to better use, go somewhere else...I certainly won't play here again

It was the first time this course was listed in a year, I made a reservation paid on-line

,showed up and was told green they don't take Golf Now payments.

Golf Now needs to remove this course from its selections

They do not use Golf Now anymore. The management still allowed it though. But that will probably not happen again in the future. But the course is great, though they are still picking up the pieces after the tornado.

No clubhouse

no restrooms

no bar

no restaurant

no driving range

cart parking and directional lanes make absolutely no sense

course is in pretty good shape

Fees don't match the lack of amenities

What a gem! This course was on my must play list. I was reluctant to book because of the price. Finally popped on on GolfNow. Got a great round at a great price. Staff was amazing and the 19th hole was top shelf all the way! I will be goi g back even at full price.

Fairways and tees are filling in and getting greener. Greens are a mixed bag, some in good shape, others struggling. More rain will help. Pace of play was very good, 3.25 hrs. Ponds are full, so watch the water!

If you enjoy golf, you should play 18 holes at Plantation on Crystal River. Florida at its very best! A great challenge for any golfer.

Greens are in bad shape. Foursome ahead not playing ready golf. Very slow play.

I wanted to like this course, but couldn't really find enough reasons to. The course was well kept. The driving range is more of an iron range. No hits more than 175 yards allowed and if you don't hit the ball straight it's going in the woods or in the fairway for the first hole. Terrible placement. The layout was a little confusing with the extra 9 holes. The color that defined the different rounds of holes was opposite what they actually were. At times there were tee boxes right next to each other for two different holes. My biggest issue with the course is if you can't hit a straight drive, which many can't, then you're losing your ball almost every time. Houses and trees hug the right side of most Fairways. The Fairways are narrow on most holes near the tee box and that's intimidating for slicers. Got rained out after 9 holes and the course was closed the next day, so I never got to finish my round.

On vacation down here from Kentucky. Chose this course because of the pictures and reviews. Arrived early and was able to get so swings in on the range. Getting loose was high priority than putting on the practice green. I wish I would’ve checked that first. Super slow greens. And it’s not because they’re losing them. They look dense enough to be cut down another 5 stimps at least. I played from the tips and it had a a great layout. Sand traps play pretty tight. Still had fun, just expected more from a $50 course in Florida.

Grass coming back into the fairways, but greens are still extremely slow. A twosome held up by a fivesome of women who refused to let us play through.

Mentioned it to the cart attendant, and comment was “that happens sometimes”.

Should never happen.
