Plantation Palms Golf Club

About
Plantation Palms Golf Club, designed by David Harman, provides every Tampa golfer with a challenging and rewarding golf experience. The links-style design starts with a welcoming par 5, and then slowly steps up with a mixture of strong par 3s. Just 10 minutes north of Tampa, this course was carved a 400-acre citrus grove that slopes from west to east, providing interesting elevation changes. Water is in play on 17 of 18 holes. Plantation Palms Golf Club has an attractive framing of greens by the use of pine trees, water and large snow-white sand traps. The true-rolling elevated greens have good movement and are a challenge for golfers.

Nice course lay out
Everything about the course is very good. Sand traps could use more sand. I feel the price is a little steep for morning and afternoon rounds. Maybe they will drop when we get closer to the summer months.
Excellent layout and course conditions
I’ve played this course numerous times and have never seen this course in better shape. Staff are courteous and each time I visit I look forward to my return. Greens are great and the layout provides a serious challenge to golfers.
Pace of Play is a Problem
Sunday 2PM round with no Ranger or Cart Service. Played as a 3 for the front 9 and 2 the back. Charged me ($20) as a single rider, despite only having 3 on our tee time. Took us 4:45 to play and should have been 3:30. Tee times were 8 minutes apart and was stacked up, group in front of us were very slow and we waited on them for most shots. Why no marshall? I requested 1 three times from my cart. Course is in good shape, a couple of wet spots, but the greens ran true and tee boxes are good.
Great Day
When we arrived Brandon greeted us and was very helpful and pleasant. Course was in great shape but you could tell it had a lot of play.There were no bare spots and the greens were quick but true. We will definitely return
nice course and restaurant
plantation palms is a good course. a mix of holes, some easy others challenging.
greens were in great shape, fairways a bit thin and dry but normal for Florida.
Angelina on the beverage cart makes the day enjoyable no matter how you're playing.
will definitely play PP next time in Tampa Bay.
Nice value course!!!
The course was in really good shape for the most part fairways and greens not too bad. Had some scenic holes, piece of play was pretty slow the day that I went, had to wait for a car because they ran out of carts. That was the only drawback, other than that, the course was pretty nice.

Pace of play was good; course in relatively good condition given the time of the year. Have played it before and will again at some point. Good value
Decent track, but slow…
Simply put, they need marshalls out there moving play along…starters letting out singles in prime time and slotting in friends off tenth tee is not cool…2 hours for front, nearly 3 for the back nine…
I like the course, front is better than back - much tighter coming back. Always seems wet, so a few mud shots off the middle of the fairways. Greens were lightening fast though..
I see the work they are doing to improve, so if they keep going, it will only get better.
Range is closed Tuesday mornings / no notice of that..
Good layout and greens
Needs more grass around the approaches and in the fairways. Greens rolled true. Always fun place to play. Friendly staff!
Lot of walkers on this course which makes for slow play. Otherwise, great course for the money.
