Boat course

Course was so wet I needed a boat to play. One hole closed because of water. Couldn’t drive cart only on cement paths because of water in fairways. Sand traps full of water. Course should have been closed. Nice course when in dry conditions.

Plantation on Crystal River

Greens and tee boxes recently overseeded. Course was still quite wet from heavy rains but still very playable. Some areas of tight lies. Picturesque, tree lined fairways layout with bunker protected greens.

Great Course

Got through the first sloppy 9, dont get me wrong it had rained the day before, so its all good, make it a bit more challenging then normal. lol. so we stopped to get a drink and something to eat at the turn and BAM here comes the rain. the pro shop was kind enough to let us come back to play the back 9 today however on our way to go play rain started coming in.. tropical storm gordon has ruined it for us,so we're not able to play our back 9.. :((( but love the course.

Bumpy Greens

Normal conditions at this course would be a little wet with good fairways and great greens. I guess due to the unusual amount or rain we are getting this year the course is wet, the rough is uncut in many places and the greens are just about shot. It looked like they were worked over and sanded but something happened to the grass because it's like rolling a ball over pockmarks. We won't be back until conditions improve.

Closed front 9.

Not only were the greens sandy and bumpy from aerating, but the front nine was closed. Had to play the back 9 twice. Would not have played there at all, had I known that.
