Plantation Palms Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Smart design
The layout here is excellent and balances challenge with playability. Folks were very nice including the guys we played with.
Greens excellent
Greens are best I’ve seen them. And fast!! Fairways were solid. Great layout. Has come a long way in the last 5 years. Great value at $50.
Good value course
Good track friendly for first time out this year
nice greens
very nice staff
would play again
Over Crowded and Poor Pricing for What You Get
I wanted a fun and friendly day out on the course with my son, but instead we got to a course that was overcrowded, and we were forced to pair up with another group. When I am expected to pay the amount of money they’re asking and I sign up for a twosome with my son to have a good day out, I do not expect to be paired with another group, and I certainly do not expect the course to be so overcrowded that we can’t even finish our 18 holes before it’s too dark to finish. Extremely disappointed in what I got for the money I paid.
Over charged
I was refunded from the pro shop because I didn’t play. Starter made 2 singles join in a cart. Nothing better than sitting shoulder to shoulder with a stranger. It’s ok to play with strangers but being forced to ride together is terrible. The whole deal is awkward…small talk, who’s ball to go to first, no music, etc. it’s not pleasant. Get more carts or don’t allow singles to book a tee time. Pro shop refunded me and then golfnow sent me an email letting me know they were going to charge me at the request of the pro shop. There are enough great courses in the area. Will look at the paradise card instead of golfnow golf pass going forward.
Post Tropical Storm Still Great
Played with buddies the day after Hurricane Nicole. It was wet but not as bad as I have seen after heavy rain on other courses. Still played great, lost some shots to mud and puddles, but still had a blast. Excited to come back soon for a dry round, course was great, pro shop and restaurant were great.
Great course and layout.. just unfortunate we had to play right after a storm so the course was soaked.. will definitely come back to play again when the conditions will be better
stay in the fairway
Pro shop and staff were so friendly. Greens were in great shape. Fairways were in decent shape but the outer fringe around the greens are brutal, either this is the design or maybe they are leaving it long? Don't go off the fairway. Pace of play was slow do to a very slow 4 old guy group. Morning tee time
Pairings and pace of play
Never can understand why singles and doubles aren't paired up to help with pace.

You must not be an avid golfer if you are upset about getting paired up with someone. That is standard protocol unless course is empty.
