They're still recovering from tornado damage so the club house and amenities are basically non-extant. The course was in impressive condition comparative to others in the local area.

Great course

Nice golf course and priced right. I paid maybe $45. I’m sure I caught the perfect weekend. Got a tee time Friday night for Saturday 8am. Played in 3 hours. The course was really nice. Met the pro great guy. Let me hit range balls for free. And let me play golf Friday for free because I missed that last tee time. Really cool guy!

Wet but playable.

This is a typical old school Florida golf course. The conditions were pretty good, just a little wet in some areas because of the recent rains. Greens are coming back nicely after recent airification.
Would like to play it again when it dries out.

Course had lots of weeds, cut grass pooled all over the fairway. No one informed us that the greens had been aerated. Was not worth the money paid.

9 hole

The fairways and greens were a little flooded but in great shape. Rough needs to be cut once in a while

Wet

Due to being so close to sea level the course was quite wet. Course path only golfing! The wet fairways (standing water in large areas) made it a bit difficult to get to your ball at times. We will definitely try this course again in Fall through Winter when it’ll be drier!

Good shape but rained out

I was pleasantly surprised as the course was dry considering all the rain recently.
I am so glad to see the Plantation back on Golf Now. I was my go to course until they removed it from the play list.
I will be back playing
the Plantation often if it stays with Golf Now.

Hot weather
Used cart

Have played here several times.

Always enjoyed. Hurricane has caused most of the trees to be removed, so harder to find shade from the heat. Hurricane also trashed the clubhouse, so now working from a trailer. Construction set to begin soon. But course still in good condition. Drink & snack cart made several trips during our round. Had to stop between 9's due to heat exhaustion and staff very concerned and helpful. Will be back again when the weather breaks.

Excellent Greens

Their Greens are up there with the best in the Tri-County area. Rolled so smooth and true. Tee Boxes and Fairways were in good shape, as well. The location of the course lends for some wetness in some areas around the course, not allowing for mowing for so of the rough off the Fairways. Carts had GPS. Looking forward to going back again soon

Nice

Tees and fairways were good. Greens were a little thin but overall considering that it was a little wet the course was in good condition.

The course

Called what is now "the pro shop" & finally got someone to pick up the phone, been trying occasionally for a month now, anyway, it's 3/3/24 & I ask the gentleman if the range was open yet, he said only if ur playing golf, I said ok, how much is it at noon, he said $70, I honestly laughed at him, so we can't use the range unless we intend to play, now they're charging $70 for a track that's worth $30 on its finest day, they have 2 postage stamp practice greens, 1 for Chipping, 1 for putting & no range use unless ur playing. TOURISTS, put ur money to better use, go somewhere else...I certainly won't play here again
