Fun course

Greens were nice, tee boxes decent, nice staff, trees need to be trimmed one for more grass to grow in fairway, two trimmed because they are over the fairway.

I had situations that I was in the fairway or just off the fairway but tree overhang blocked line to green.

Course Conditions

Course was in pretty rough shape compared to historical conditions. Some of the greens and tee boxes were pretty bad, especially considering we had a very warm winter.

still a fun layout

this is the third time we had played here, it was pretty much what I remembered. The greens are a big thing with us and they were as good as I remembered them with good speed. convenient and okay shape. Typical Florida pub links.

Plantation on Crystal River

Got a great price on Golfnow,com Hot Deal so I thought I'd make the drive up to Crystal River. Arrived and the Pro Shop is nice and clean with a nice grill room right next to it. Staff seemed disinterested with their greeting which did not come across as friendly or sincere either. Get a different job if you don't want to work with the public. Replacing some of the concrete cart paths on a few holes but the course is well routed and the course overall was in nice shape. Couple of bare spots on a few greens but they putted true though not that fact. Played from the back tees and hit 3 metal off most of the holes and shot a 85. Will play again when temps get a bit warmer.

Rainy Morning

It was raining lightly when I arrived at the course at 7:45 for an 8:20 tee time. No one else was playing, so I went out without a warm up. Playing alone with no one in front of me I played in 2 hours. The course was in good shape except for some concrete cart paths in need of repair - repairs were being done on one hole.The greens were good, layout interesting. It's not a long course and is very playable for the average golfer. I recommend it and would play it again.

Good value

I played early in the morning on a whim and was rewarded with a course that was demanding and fair. Many of the greens were in excellent shape, but not all of them.

Very scenic and relaxed round. A little hard to find a couple of the right tee boxes, but nothing major other than that.
