DON'T PASS UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY PLANTATION PRESERVE

My foursome travels each year to the Fort Lauderdale area and we always book a round here. Today's experience reflected the fact that the fariways were like carpet and were firm. The greens were quite healthy. This is a great layout and this course is wonderful. Since this course opened, we have booked a round there and won't change anything in the future. The fairways actually are ingrained with topsoil and are not quite as sandy as other courses in the area. The people who work there are friendly and represent the course well.

Hidden gem

What a beautiful course!
When we played in the afternoon it was still very busy, so onthe first 9 we had to wait onevery hole, but still made it in 2.15.
Second half went a lot better, no more waiting.
Layout is phenomenal, with lots of very. Ice views.

Not worth the money

Not worth the money. Green are not in good condition. Course is worn and showing age. Many other courses to choose that are in better condition and not as pricey.

Good layout and conditions but better value on other courses

Second time playing this course and the conditions were very good. Greens were rolling well but they were slower this time around. Layout is challenging enough - we played a combination of blue/white tees. Last played at $54 and conditions/pace of play/experience was as good as this time at $20 more so I have to say there are better value playing other courses in the area.

Great course in Plantation

I really liked this course. The maintenance was top notch and staff was friendly and helpful. The course layout was challenging with plenty of water in play. I am really looking forward to playing here again. One of the best courses for the money hands down.

Magnificent track

If you are coming to or live in southeast Florida, this is a MUST play. There is nothing bad to say about this course. The fairways, and greens were in spectacular condition. The pace of play was excellent. If you value course conditions and design, you will be sorry if you don't play this course.

Great, outstanding public course. Played with wife and another couple who we met playing day prior. Beautiful shape, outside staff very nice, clubhouse staff need someone management update. Played on day weather threatened, but finished. Beautiful course for any level of play. Outstanding to drive up to and course just as perfect. Don't miss out.

Nice course, shame about the greens

Good, varied layout.

Greens looked they had caught the measles - although the grass was quite broad-leafed, and the greens did not really take a pitch mark, it was evident that people were not good a repairing what pitchmarks they made, because the legacy showed in brown spots all over the greens.

Quite expensive - there are alternatives close by which are better value for money

Can't wait to come back

Being greeted by the friendly staff who take your clubs and put them in the cart is a great way to start the round..

Having all the practice facilities right by the first tee just makes sense.. loved it

Overall, in the first 9 holes you play, the Marshalls do a good job of pushing the pace.. by the time you get to your second 9, you don't see them because everyone is usually going fairly well.

Lots of sand and lots of water. Played it from the white tees as were most other groups that I saw. First round was my worst round, because I feel its a course you have to know where to hit the ball as you can take advantage on a few holes.

On the last round we played (6 in total).. some of the greens looked like they were put through a wood chipper in some sections. yet pin was still placed in those sections as opposed to other portions of the green that were fine.. Common Sense

Going back to florida on a boys trip in a few weeks and we have penciled in Plantation Preserve as a must.

Fun Course with a Good layout

Fun Course that gives you a variety of options where to play the ball. Good twists and turns and some strategic water placement... Should I go for it or lay up...? Plays very different depending on Wind. Overall usually in great condition for a public course.

Good course but too slow.

Overall the course was nice. It was in better than average condition compared to most daily fee courses in Broward. However, the pace of play was horrible. A five hour round is never acceptable.
