Plantation Course

Just an OK golf experience. Not top notch public facility but not too expensive either. Kind of like a municipal quality golf course. Rental clubs were old and incomplete set. All that said, not many better options nearby.

Course in good shape

It has been relatively dry here, so the course was not soggy. Good grass on the fairways. Greens in good shape.

Pace a bit slow

Very good value

12 hcp. Visiting from MA. Greens were nice only a few spots, that really impressed me. Fairways were average but I’ve paid more $$ and got worse conditions. I would hold off playing right after heavy rains. Can be damp in spots

Plantation is a beautiful Golf course

Played as a foursome. Staff was very friendly, and the course was in very good condition. Greens were spectacular. This is a natural beautiful course. Holes were somewhat challenging. One of the better courses for the price in this area.

Only minor issue was hole signage. Needs to be more of this signage to direct you to the proper hole.

Plantation golf ourse

Overall the course was ok. Some really long holes. The Starter didn’t seem too friendly but that was his personality I guess. We could not find hole number two hole it was a not clearly indicated.

The fairways were just ok. However the greens were in excellent shape and very puttable except for one.

We were disappointed that when we got back to the Clubhouse at 4:30 the kitchen was closed 🤷‍♂️ For the day. We had a couple beers no food. The waitress was very friendly.

To top it all off my brothers clubs were stolen from the bag drop area after the round.

Overall I would not hurry back. I live an hour away and there are better courses closer to me. For the value it fit. Not complaining just reality.
