But the course has been back open for a few years and there are fairways that are just plain dirt. The green are ok, but are very slow.... I assume to keep them so get don't burn out. In comparison to Palm Harbor that the city took over and re-opened... I had thought the city of Flagler Beach was doing the same with this course but it is in desperate need of a complete grass and irrigation renovation. It is a shame, and I always come back because it would be a really nice 9 hole course (which we do not have any other 9 hole courses around) if they just would make the fairways more playable.

I have to say for the price you pay (a little less than $50) this place was impressive. The range has you hit into water and was well maintained and organized. The course is pretty open and is a fun lay out. The greens were a little worn out but in general the fairways, greens, and tee boxes were in solid shape. Some of the holes are surrounded by big maple trees on both sounds so it feels like you're really the only ones out there playing which I love. The facility is small but relaxing and feels like home. The woman behind the bar who's in charge of the kitchen helped me and all my friends out with drinks and food at the turn so shout out to her! I'd play here again for sure. I wish I had taken pictures but I got caught up in my round.

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.

This isn't the Ritz Carlton, but I give it five stars because it is a definite must stay in Flagler Beach if you want a room with a view, living room, kitchen, and a separate bedroom. Each room has a different theme: fishing, flamingos, boating, etc. The cottages have porches on the front and even a side door through the kitchen! We love to park right outside the kitchen and it's easy to load and unload our vehicle. They are pet-friendly and when we arrive there are doggie bones on the pillows, so if you have pet allergies... ask in advance for a non-pet option, although I have allergies and the room is kept so clean my allergies really didn't bother me. They have a pool, which is always sparkly clean, but we usually visit in November so it's too cold to take a dip! The walk across A1A to their lookout deck is easy and gives a perfect view of the sunrise in the mornings. Just a few feed south of the deck is a walkway to the beautiful sandy beaches.

Barry and Patricia were really nice, welcoming hosts to this old little motel. My husband and our…read moretwo friends were booked in units 10 and 9. While we enjoyed our stay with the dogs -- they are so dog friendly, and even offer sheets to cover the futon in the living room and on the bed -- I don't believe I would stay here without the dogs. Hurricane Matthew really did a thing to the Whale Watch Motel in August 2016, ripping off a roof of one of their cottages as well as the facing of a couple of their buildings. This is unfortunate, and still under repair, but really doesn't account for the insides of the cottages that could use a bit of attention. Simple things need fixing -- no drain plug in bathroom sink, super cheap and broken soap bars (thankfully we brought our own), extremely rusty appliances (I get that the Florida salt damages items easily -- I live here too!), broken handle on the refrigerator, rusty metal shelves in the bathroom and kitchen, missing paint on the walls here and there...it's the little things that could be fixed or replaced while the big items outside (roofs) get some attention. Maybe even some nice landscaping in front of the units could be an easy project that would provide some curb appeal. We LOVE the location of this motel right across from a quiet part of Flagler Beach, but be careful crossing the street. The speed limit is 45, but cars were regularly going 60 and some were passing and weaving in and out. Just be extra careful. Units 9 and 10 face out toward the water, but the bummer is that people kept parking right in front of our building. Unit 9 had a better view than unit 10 for sure, but it was a shame that people would not park in front of their own units. There was no reason for them to park where they did, and block our view. We will stay here again with our dogs because Barry and Patricia are animal lovers and really make it easy on dog families, and with Flagler being a dog-friendly beach, it really is a great location. If traveling just as couples, I'm afraid I need something with a few extra bits of attention. They still get a 4 for their kind nature, clean toilets (!), and location.
