Plantation on Crystal River

weather was just right, course was in good condition ( little wet in spots) but overall good.

Played there 2 years ago when it was being upgraded. Not any better. Strictly for beginners. Most screwed up layout I ever saw. Dont waste a dime/

When the pace of play is so slow that one quits before the round is over it ruins the entire experience. We quit after a completely frustrating 13 holes. This is the first time that I have not completed a round in reasonable weather conditions.

This course is an older course that needs some work. But don’t let that sway you. It’s a fun and challenging layout that is in a quaint little town with great people. The cost was perfect for this course.

I love this course! the pro shop is very friendly and helpful. the course is wonderful and well laid out. I have enjoyed playing this course!

The course is well maintained and the staff are always nice. It is a good value for the money.

General grooming of course was good but some fairways were thin and some greens were patchy, In general the condition was favorable. Location of tees were confusing, tee direction postings definitely require improvement. Restaurant service was excellent, and quality of food was good.

Course was in decent condition however the greens were very dry and thin.

Course has had too much rain,

Cart path only even the “dry” holes wet.

Would like to play it in drier conditions.

Very soggy and muddy fairways,

Very slow pace, poorly organized, We decided to stop playing after 9 holes,

Manager refused to give credit or rain check

The lady in the pro shop was not super friendly. The course itself was pretty average to poor. No memorable holes. Boring layout. Greens were below average. Course was super wet but obviously not the courses fault. We had about 5 holes left to play around 545pm and were told the carts had to be in by 600. 600 is two hours before dark. Last I knew the paying customer determined when the staff got to go home not vice versa. Most Ludacris thing I've ever seen. So we left and went home with 4 holes left to play. Wouldn't go back due to the course though, not the staff. Cart guy was super friendly.

The course was in good shape. When heavy rains come it gets pretty soggy, but right now it is Great. I’m disappointed that the Golf Now price is so high. The Plantation advertises a lower price. I hope Golf Now gets in line because normally I do most of my golf through them but right now they are out of line.

Laid back staff, very nice! Course was in good shape even after a lot of rain! We’ll play here again definitely! Thanks guys!

Excellent layout but time has not been good to this course. Lots of weeds!

Relocated to area just about 4 years ago. This is quickly becoming my favorite go to track. I was spoiled, for many years was in the Golf business in Miami and got to play some wonderful coursrs regularly. Struggled to find a local course that offered everything on my check list until I found Plantation Crystal River.

I’d played here twice last year, and both times came away feeling that it’s a competent course as far as offering 18 well-maintained golf holes - the groundskeeping is good, fairways are generally good, mowed to a height that doesn’t have you perpetually on a tight lie, greens well maintained. That’s still the case. It’s the kind of course you really want to find a reason to love, but there’s just no memorable or challenging terrain, views, or layout that say “wow”. It’s completely fine for the day where you just want to get out and practice, and not have 10 traps between tee and cup - “utilitarian” is the word that comes to mind. Pace of play was just over 2.5 hours on a early afternoon tee time, as I had no one ahead or behind for the entirety of the round and played 2 balls most of the round. A big plus is not a lot of housing close to fairways as is so common on Florida courses; it’s only at the perimeter of the course and rarely near enough to be intrusive. Allow extra time if coming from the south due to construction on Rt 19.
