Plantation Golf Resort and Spa at Crystal River, Florida

By , About.com Guide

Located in Crystal River, Florida, amid one of the last unspoiled sections of Florida’s Nature Coast, Plantation Golf Resort & Spa is a unique setting for a relaxing Florida getaway. The resort’s Crystal River hotel offers a variety of activities from golfing and fishing, to swimming with manatees, boating or just plain relaxing, a place where time slows to a gentler, simpler pace.

Given its locale in picturesque Crystal River, the Plantation Golf Resort & Spa offers golf enthusiasts what might well be “the perfect setting” for a golf getaway or corporate retreat: a championship course that features 27 holes, sloped greens, challenging fairways lined with native live oak trees and emerald pines, along with an unprecedented 21 of 27 holes where water comes into play.

Plus, with over 12,000 square feet of meeting space, it could be the ideal spot for the corporate retreat.

For the adventure seeker, the resort offers an amazing range of opportunities, including scuba diving and swimming with manatees at one of Florida’s great underwater treasures in King’s Bay. Whether you are a novice or experienced diver, the unforgettable chance to discover these gentle creatures is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And, if that sort of activity is not for you, you might like to just sit back and relax on a scenic boat tour down Crystal River.

The Plantation Golf Resort & Spa is an “other worldly” spot on the map where you can set your own pace, leave every worry and every concern far behind. Crystal River is “Old Florida,” a timeless setting where there’s nothing to do but relax and enjoy life as it should be enjoyed.
