Surprising fun!!!

Played this course for the first time on 10/11/2020. Was a bit nervous after seeing the reviews on 10/10, but me and my buddies had the opposite experience. Staff was very friendly. Course does need a little more TLC, but over all it was in decent shape. Trust me, we've seen worse this year like all the NYC Courses. Fun, challenging layout. Tee boxs and fairways were ok, again need some more TLC. Greens are in decent condition, and challenging. Word of advise, DO NOT BE ABOUT THE GREEN when putting !!!..lol My only complaint is the cart paths need major work!!!! So many potholes, my back was so sore by the end of the round... Diff will be back.

Awesome Conditions!!

Haven't played Quail Brook in a few years and me and the gang gave it a try today. Bottom line is we will be back. Awesome conditions from tee to greens. A enjoyable challenge today since the course was dry and firm. Greens were rolling great today and in awesome condition. One thing I notice was divots on the tee box were repaired with seed and dirt. WOW!!!!. They really take care of this course.Give it a try!!

Great Time...

First time playing this course and had a great time! Great course to work on your game med to short game. Course is in credible shape! Easy to walk. Greens were straight forward and slow, but that could have been due to the reopen. Staff was friendly. Can't wait to play it again.

Nice Course, but watch out for nasty Mgr/ GolfPro

Played this course 5/4/19. Nice course, greens are protected by bunkers so bring you short game. Great value for the price, especially in the DE area. Here comes the however!!!!! They're strict with cart path only for the entire course when they get a some rain. So if you're riding, be prepared for a long day. No starter to let use know when to tee -off or let us know about cart path only rules. So with that we had maintenance crews chasing use down like we were committing a crime because we didn't see the sign at the club house about earth path only. Also if it rains too much, they will shut the course down. I've never seen a course shut down or stop us from golfing because of to much rain, but this place will !!!!!!!!! They seem to be unfriendly to outsiders, especially the mgr or golf pro there!!!!! Nasty guy, when he shut the course down, we asked for rain checks. WE only played 7 holes, but he got a bit nasty and only gave us RC for 9 holes.... WOW. Like I said, if it rains before or on the day you're playing and can't walk, go elsewhere...

Very strange experience the second time around.

We played PL last year and had such a great time we went back again this year. First, the 9 holes that are up and playable are awesome. Tee/fairways/greens are all in great shape. However ,this year was diff. Seemed to be a free for all this year. We got the feeling we or outsiders weren't welcomed there. Barely any staff around. No Starter to direct anyone anywhere. Lots of singles or doubles playing so there was no coordination for golfers coming off the 9th hole to replay 9 again and for golfers who were just starting out. We had 2 groups. First group teed off but as were going to our balls, we saw singles coming off 9 for their replay. So because they were singles, our second group being nice let the go first. First group finished at about 4 hrs, second group 5 hrs. All because no one was out there coordinating things. We also notice that single golfers seem to play a few holes and then disappear. Seems like the surrounding community plays when they want then walk off. Thats what it looked like to our groups. Last year I would have said this is a must course. This year, you might want to wait until they finish all 18 holes.

Thank you for returning to visiting Plantation Lakes, we are happy that you enjoyed the golf course. We pride ourselves on high standards of course care and customer service, so we are very sorry to hear that you had an experience that was short of outstanding. No golfer should ever feel like an outsider. Just so you are aware, Rangers and Starters are not employed during the off-season and shoulder-seasons which we still fall in. However, we are currently training a number of new staff members to curb the issues that you have raised. As an additional note, while we are still 9-holes, we do have to issue two tee times to anyone playing 18 and we schedule them 2 hours and 6 minutes apart, per our pace of play. Because of this, groups are not obligated to allow singles or twosomes to play through as it creates issues at the turn and with pace of play like you mentioned. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and for your review and we hope to see you back soon.

Holy Cow...Course was Amazing.

First Time I've played this course in 30yrs. Amazing condition!!! I play La Tourette and South Shore mostly, and this course buts them to shame!! Tee boxes are amazingly maintained. Soft and level, not use to that at the Staten Island courses. Greens were also in great shape. Very challenging, which was always their reputation. Very hard to find any ball marks to fix.. Can't wait to get over there again..

Great Challenging Course...

Play this course for the first time.. Me and my group had a great time playing this course. Weather conditions were windy and made the front 9 longer. Especially with all the bunkers that come into play on the front. Greens were interesting. Not a flat one to be seen...lol and pool table fast on this day. So you better get close with your short game. Overall lay out is a lot of fun and challenging! Staff was very friendly. Food amenities were lacking, and that just might be from the lack of playing on this day..... Me and the guys can't wait to get down there to play this course again...

Awesome Course...

Can't rave about this course enough. Course was in great shape for early Nov. It was a blast to play. The great thing about this course is you don't have to use the driver at ever hole. You need all clubs in your bag. Whats very helpful is this course has a drone fly over of the holes on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlg889ZBnz0
Very helpful especially for 1st time players... on the flyover, the only deceptive hole is 12. The green is very elevated and it's a large green, so go for it!!!!! Don't try to be cute with it...

Also play in Staten Island. Talked to a club pro at an event in Jersey and he recommended this course. I see it on GolfNow and was looking to play midweek this coming week.
Would you recommend? Was it crowded when you played?
