Great value

The Plantation Course has good greens except for a few holes. One of the best values in the area.

Fred, our caddie

Very nice course, conditions in the fairway and greens are very good, even for winter. Staff are especially friendly, even Fred. He didn't make a sound during or tee-offs on #17.

Much Improved

I played this course on Jan 15th. Very windy, and finished on 18 in a cold, downpour. I was impressed with the course and the greens. I've played this course often and the greens are normally very slow and bumpy. But with the winter overseed they are much improved Always very subtle breaks around the hole that are easy to misread.

The overall conditions of the course were a solid B-B+. No complaints. I was only in one bunker and it turned out to be hard-pan, back right bunker, on 14, in the very back right hand corner of the bunker. Wouldn't think many people end up there.

Winter conditions seem to make this course much more enjoyable. Most difficult hole to make par: 13, most likely blowup hole: 11. First 4 holes on the back make the back nine much more difficult than the front.

Short course

Although a few greens had done dry spots, the overall shape of the course was in very good shape. I will play this course again.

Plantation of Crystal River

Looks like this was an old Country Club with cement paths everywhere. The layout is really confusing because they put par 3 course holes within the 18 hole course. The fairways especially the first hole is very suspect. It got a “little “ better after that. The one good thing is the condition of the greens. For the most part they held well and putted true.

Have fun!

Fun and fast public course, just be mindful of how fast the greens can be when they’re dry.
