Amazing place to dine in! Wonderful food and great service. We feel loved as soon as we walk through the door. Cool fun fact, you don’t have to be a resident to eat in at country club. Shout out to Leo for being such a great waiter ❤️.

The pictures on the website do not do this course justice. Fantastic layout, VERY challenging greens, in perfect condition. Only part I did not like was last 7 holes go through a housing development, so every hole is lined with houses tee to green. Aside from that, I highly recommend this course. The staff was excellent and friendly.

Exceptional service! Good food! Lovely atmosphere, pretty views. They put so much love and effort into holiday events. And it is fantastic on regular nights as well. Sometimes they have live entertainment.

I took a golf lesson with Ian this past weekend and it was the best decision I have ever made for my golf game. In just a short time Ian gave me lots of tips and drills to help me improve my game. If you are planning on taking a golf lesson I highly recommend you take one with Ian at plantation lakes!

Great burgers. Service is average but improving with new manager. She was attentive to concerns. Plan on slower table service when golf events are underway. Great daily food specials.
