Plantation on Crystal River

We made our reservation via Golf Now for early afternoon and arrived 25 minutes early for our tee time, checked in, loaded our cart and were about to proceed to tee one when we found a group of 12 waiting to tee off. Went back into the pro shop to request permission to start on tee 10 and was told “yeah probably a good idea!!!”

We played Crystal River on our first round of our tour and it was a great starting course all of our players loved the course and the atmosphere in the club house was superb with really friendly staff

Good layout, good greens, but the rest of the course was in poor shape.

As usual the course was in pretty decent condition with very fast undulating greens. Fairways were good for this time of year and just a little wet in spots.

The wind however played into every shot and putt as they were gusting to 25-30 mph at times and pretty steady above 15 mph. Lag a putt and watch the wind push it a foot off course. A very interesting round indeed.

Played the course today and had low expectations before arrival, but upon playing I was more than pleasantly surprised. Yes, there were a few greens that had minor bare patches, yes the rough is thin and dormant for the most part, not unlike the majority of Florida courses that can’t overseed Spring and Fall. Otherwise the greens were at a good speed and consistent, the sand in the bunkers was even and not compacted and the fairway grass didn’t require winter rules to be considered. It’s a good flat layout with greens that are well protected with bunkers to one side that allow options to approach them. There is water on many holes that isn’t unfairly placed to penalize slightly wayward shots. Pace of play was slow on the front but improved considerably on the back. Overall, this is a good value course that made us state we would return again as it was fun to play and challenging in the Florida wind.

We felt like we were a bother when we checked in. Staff treated us rather rudely . Course was a in sub par to average shape.

Nice golf course for 23$! Greens and sand traps were in good shape, the different tees will suit anyones handicap. And people are very friendly in Crystal River! If I lived there, I would seriously become a member at this club!

Great winter day, 82 degrees and sunny with a nice breeze, what more can you want. The course was in good shape and the greens very fast. I'll be back.

course is in good condition, greens are fast.Pace of play was good, very challenging.Would play again!

Great hot deal rate from golfnow. Played with my Brother in early February... Neither of us had played this course. Played a hole not on our course. There is an executive course layed out next to the championship course. Not real clear on which is which but we figured it out..... the staff was gracious to allow us to play a little earlier than our tee time. A foursome (two couples) allowed our two some to play through at which point our pace really took off.... Had a great day....

Course was in good condition. Tee time was 1:38. 20 minutes late teeing off. Three groups of 6 in front of us. Took 2 1/2 hours to play front 9. Way overbooked!!!

Got put behind an outing without warning. The outing would not finish before dark so only olayed nine. Why do that with no warning and also start the outing when they cant finish either. Not very well done by management. Course in ok condition. Nothing special about the layout.
