Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Plantation Preserve truly unique compared to other South Florida courses?

You'll immediately notice the course's commitment to its natural setting, playing directly through a 170-acre Everglades restoration area. This isn't just window dressing-you'll encounter water hazards and natural vegetation that demand precision, making it a thoughtful challenge beyond just length. We especially appreciate how the design integrates the preserve, giving you a real sense of place with every shot.

When is the best time of year to play Plantation Preserve, and what should I expect regarding conditions and crowds?

We always recommend visiting between November and April; the weather is fantastic, with lower humidity and comfortable temperatures perfect for walking. Expect the course to be in prime condition then, though it also means higher demand and slightly slower play, especially on weekends. If you're looking for a quicker round and don't mind the heat, the summer months offer great deals and fewer crowds.

Is Plantation Preserve a good value for the greens fees, and what's included?

Absolutely, we think Plantation Preserve offers excellent value, especially considering the quality of the course and its unique environmental setting. While peak season rates can be a bit higher, you're paying for a meticulously maintained course, excellent practice facilities, and a round that feels genuinely special. You'll typically get your cart included, and the practice range is usually part of the package, so plan to arrive early and warm up properly.

What are the must-play holes or standout features at Plantation Preserve that I should look forward to?

Keep an eye out for the stretch from holes 13 through 15-it's a fantastic run that truly showcases the "preserve" aspect. The par-3 13th, with its carry over water, is a real beauty, and the par-5 15th demands strategic placement off the tee to navigate the wetlands. You'll find yourself needing to think your way around these holes, not just bomb it, which we always appreciate.

How busy does Plantation Preserve get, and what's your best advice for securing a good tee time and maintaining a decent pace?

Plantation Preserve is popular, especially during the peak winter season, so booking well in advance-at least a week or two out-is crucial for prime morning slots. To help with pace, play ready golf and be realistic about your abilities; don't bite off more than you can chew over the water hazards. We've found that early morning weekdays offer the best chance for a smooth, unhurried round.
