Plantation Oaks Golf Club - Gainesville, Florida
Built in the '70s, Plantation Oaks Golf Club in Alachua, Fla., is fairly short at 6,570 yards from the back tees, befitting an older golf course. Ward Northrup designed a traditional layout in a parkland setting with oaks and pines. The main obstacle here is the narrowness of the fairways, especially on Nos. 9, 15 and 16.
The semiprivate club five miles north of Gainesville has undergone numerous improvements over the years - remodeled holes, renovated tees and greens, new cars and paths. Despite the upgrades the course remains easy on the wallet, and for your money you get an Arnold Palmer-hole influenced - the course took the King up on some suggestions for the 14th.
