The course was challenging yet offering a pleasant outing for mid or high handicappers. Plenty of elevation changes, water and wide fairways. Greens were fast but true. Small clubhouse but nice pro shop and restaurant/bar to enjoy afterwards.

Course is looking and playing amazing it is clear that the addition of a new superintendent at CBD…read morehas provided a positive influence on this course as well! The only suggestion I could make is please try and cut the holes in places that are less than two degrees of slope and less than 3 degrees of overall downhill slope as per the USGA recommended guidelines. I have a slope meter and oftentimes the holes are cut in places with more than three degrees of slope at the hole and over 6 degrees of total slope at the downhill which is typically reserved for major championships on the PGA tour just to put things into perspective. A little focus/education on this topic will go a long way in overall playability and will also improve pace of play. I don't think this is intentional I just don't believe the person(s) cutting the holes knows any better so a little training may go a long way. The above is just friendly advice that can be fixed easily to improve the overall quality of experience on the course regarding the correct way to cut a golf hole as I said originally the course is really playing great and a great value overall is to be had at Plantation Bay! Here is the ruling/suggestion from the USGA (again many locations I tracked during my round yesterday where over 3 degrees (almost double the suggested slope at hole) on green speeds of about a 9.5/10 if I had to guess. The USGA Course Rating System Guide says, "When a downhill roll on the Stimpmeter is 2 times greater in length than uphill, it is considered moderately sloped. When a downhill roll on the Stimpmeter is 3 times greater in length than uphill, it is considered steeply sloped."14 Over the years, the Green Section has suggested: The slope of a major portion of a putting green should usually not be greater than 3 percent (1.7 degrees), although some areas may exceed this for special reasons, such as difficult terrain or dramatic architectural effect.1s Based on current information, any slope 3% (1.7 degrees) or greater on a 10' Stimpmeter reading is too steep for hole use.

The community is beautiful…read more Living in PB and being a club member is another story. The new clubhouse is a lovely design. But, the food is mediocre and the servers are nearly all inexperienced and untrained. The owner has raised the prices considerably (initiation fee, dues, food and beverages), and, he thanks the members repeatedly for their "understanding") ~ but, nothing changes. Additionally, we have (off and on) been on a "boil water" notice in our own homes for weeks. Reportedly, there is the possibility of unsafe bacteria in our water.

I had a terrible time here would not recommend to anybody. They made about 6 rude comments through the entirety of the 18. They were rude signing in, came up to us 4 separate times during the round saying to hurry when nobody was behind us?? Came up 4 different times, for no reason. Told us to be more considerate next time. Honestly hard to explain but by far the worst experience I've had a golf course. They need to hire non 70 year old rangers who actually enjoy there job instead of ruining the experience for most people that come visit. I've read the complaints most people have similar complaints to me. If you want to be rude, don't work retire.

We weren't there to play golf at all so I cannot speak with value to the course itself but it sure looked lovely when we saw it upon arrival. There is a spacious bar where a good sized group can convene while waiting on their seating in the dining area and while it was a tad crowded when we arrived, I didn't see a lot of wait time for people to get their drinks. The event for us was in the larger banquet room and I think we had about 100 people in attendance so there were plenty of tables with room enough to be spaced apart if some social distancing was still your mindset. The room had a few Christmas trees around the space which added to the fun as this was just before the Christmas holiday and is an event we all celebrate. The food was a buffet of salad, pasta, turkey, some veggies and a few other things that I cannot immediately recall but it was 100% delicious. I went up for seconds myself since I didn't think I would be visiting a place this far away from my NYC home all that soon in the future but who knows. There was a dance floor for those who wished to boogie and an overall chill vibe with staff that were very attentive. I enjoyed myself but the most important aspect was the total surprise of my uncle who had no idea he was going to be celebrated. There was complimentary WiFi which let me easily do one of my Christmas tree videos for YouTube and that was the icing on the cake for me. This is a nice place to have a gathering if you have a sizable crowd so I'd say look into it if this sounds interesting.

The bunkers looked like they haven't been maintained in a long time. The greens and the areas around them were easily the best part of the course. They were on the faster side, rolled fairly true, and had a lot of undulation. The problem is that by the time you get there, you already feel defeated because of the condition of the rest of the course. I honestly felt ripped off paying the $70+ weekend rate. I've played municipal courses in much better condition than this. It will likely be many years before I consider coming back, and even then, I'd still be hesitant.
