Plantation is a very good golf course. The layout is fun and the practice facilities are great. I last played the course 3 years ago when they just opened the back nine and it was great. Returning now I was shocked at how many houses and townhouses have been built and surround almost the entire course. It feels a bit like Northeast Philly. Mass development by Lennar with zero charm. Every possible square foot around the course is or will be built up. So, if you come here expecting a serene golf experience you will be disappointed, especially when there are so many other courses to play.

My home course was closed today so I tried PineCrest since it is near my house and I was always curious about it. They had some good holes - especially on the back 9. Good driving holes. Not too much trouble. The front had a couple of pretty crappy holes. Tees were a C- grade and greens a B-minus. Fairways were passable but pretty hard packed. It probably plays 5 shots easier than my home course because you aren’t penalized heavily for errant drives unless you go OB. Overall it was fine but not somewhere that I’d really look forward to returning.

I had a great round at Plantation. I loved the course. I was forty to be paired with a member and we were the first group out. We finished 18 holes in about 3 hrs. Amazing conditions and a fun, fair layout. I’ll definitely be back!
