Short course - Decent value

This is a very short course and only 5863 from the tips. It is in reasonably good shape and has some interesting holes on the back 9 in particular. The lack of length will make this unattractive to a long hitter as it will take the driver out of play on many holes.

Solid course, good value

Course is in very good shape - not too difficult but has its share of good holes - a couple of 190yards+ par three's on cranes roost are excellent golf holes.

Very nice short course

My buddy and I played on a Monday morning 8:30 shotgun start, we got paired up with an elderly couple and thought It was going to be a long round because of it being a retirement community, I couldn't have been more wrong, we played in 3 1/2 hours.
The course was in great shape, the greens were just a little slow because of recent over seeding, but all in all it was a fun course, and I will be back.

Do not look at the yardage an assume it is an easy course

Several unique holes, including a tightly guarded par 5 on the back 9. Interesting par 3's and shorter par 4's, but still challenging. The fairways were short of grass,so that increased the difficulty. Some seeding on th efariways and a couple of greens and this would be a great course.

Nice Course

We were a tad nervous when we arrived because we found out we were part of a shot-gun start. There was no mention of this on the Golfnow website when we booked the tee time. Had we known there was a shot gun start at the time we were preparing to tee off, we would have selected either another time or course.

Enjoyable recreational golf.

This was our first time we played this course although we have played Otter Creek, the second course at the Plantation, previously. The course was well maintained and although not overly long still provided an interesting and engaging round of golf. The staff were friendly and supportive. Would recommend this course and play it again.

Decent course but for the price it's worth it

I got a hot deal for a sunday afternoon for $9. For $9 almost any course is worth playing. While the rough is eh and the fairways are ok, the greens are in pretty good shape although a few could use a little checking. The layout itself isn't bad, it's a short course but some holes are quite narrow so you have to keep it straight. Otter's Revenge which is a group of 3 holes on the back are the toughest on the course requiring precision irons and tee shots. It's a shotmakers course but fun and for $9 it's a good course to work on your short game and irons.

Nice course, friendly atmosphere.

I was scheduled to play the Otter Creek course at the Plantations but when I arrived I found the front nine closed for aireation. The person at check in apologized and gave me the option of playing the back side twice or playing the Cranes Roost course. I choose the Cranes Roost course and enjoyed a nice round of golf. Everyone there from the clubhouse personnel to the other players I met there were very freindly and will definitely be back.

Nice Layout

The course was in good shape tee to green. The front nine played easier then the back nine. Probably because the back nine had a few holes where the fairways were tight. Holes 13 thru 15 are tough but if you played here a couple times would be manageable. All in all well worhth the price I paid.
