only one complaint

My only complaint is I play here at least once a month and they just send you out, they never say you're playing with Mr Jones or Mr. Brown most courses tell you who your playing with. I always try to book with other people and check before leaving the house how many players are scheduled for my tee time. I am not sure why they don't care it just makes play very slow when you play alone and have twosomes and foursome ahead. And i understand some people do not like to play with someone they do not know but i think that is a chance you take when you book on Golf Now.

No fun

When we checked in at the Pro shop we were advised to use only the holes with red flags. We went outside and met the starter who advised us to use only the yellow flags. This course is 27 holes with a champion course (18 holes) and an Executive course (9 holes). We found out later that the pro shop sent us to the Executive Course and the Starter sent us to the Champion course. This, coupled with the fact that there was little or no signage to identify the holes on the Executive course, as well as no yardage markers, and only two tee boxes at each hole (one for men and one for women) made the day a total wasted effort.

Pretty Nice.

Played P Inn at Crystal River for 1st time, hole #1 a pretty nondescript Dogleg left, very short, hit an iron off the tee. Hole #2 same, except a Dogleg right, each hole after that got a little better. Back nine is a little more scenic , fairways were decent, and greens as a whole, were very nice and consistent. For 28 bucks on a Feb. day, can't complain. Nice folks inside and the cart barn fella was a real gent! Will come back and Charlie's Seafood House is only a mile away!

Great Course

Nice course and layout. Fairways were a little wet from the rain fall overnight. Greens were fast and true. Will defiantly play again.

Crystal River Plantation

Always fun playing The Plantation GC. Most greens were in great shape. Challenging fairway and course layout. Some tight lies here and there though. Had fun.

Great conditions for the money , better than more expensive courses

Flat layout, water hazards on 30% of the holes but not bad, fairways were in better shape than some of the more premium courses in the area greens were in good shape with a few bare spots on the perimeter‘s but putted very nice.Not too challenging of a layout But not wide-open. had some very beautiful holes. I’ve played six of the courses in the area and the fairways on this course for the best and the fridge iaround the greens where are the best around. Recommend
