Other Thoughts:
This is strictly an update for those who aren't local, but who might be considering this course as a travel stop.
All new baskets have been installed, as of January 14. The course is in excellent shape, and ready for play.
The path to hole #1 tee is just to the right of the practice basket (looking from the parking lot or approaching that basket), and is marked by a low wooden sign.
After completing #2, you'll be tempted to walk down the hill behind the basket to a visible tee and bench - don't do it! That's #4. Instead, take a hard right and head across the walking path to the open grass field, angling at about 2:00 as you do. You'll see the sign and pad when you crest the horizon. Basket is back down the hill. THEN you can head over to #4...
The rest of the course is easy to navigate, until you get out of the woods much later. More on that momentarily...
Hole #8 - the wood pilings define the edge of the green; anything in the gulley to the right is in the hazard - take a stroke and play it from where it lies.
Hole #12 - hasn't changed much, but the basket has been pushed further back into the woods. A tougher par 4 than it was.
Hole #14 - basket has been pushed way back into the field behind the tree. I haven't heard it officially, but it is assumed it's now a par 4. There is a sign in the ground near the old pin placement, which tells you where to go for #15. Basically, head toward the school playground, and skirt the right side of the swingset - #15 tee is at the edge of the woods on the right. And the basket has been moved laterally to the right about 10-15 feet. (There used to be a skinny tree guarding the direct line to the pin. Some hoser knocked it down, probably in a pique after being denied an assumed ace. The move brings the difficulty back. A small, but welcome, change.)
#16 tee has a bench now!
For an added challenge, consider playing #18 to the practice basket. Road on the left is OB all the way, but it's a gettable 3 with a solid drive and upshot.
Plantation Ruins remains a super-sweet track, made even more enjoyable by these tweaks, as well as other improvement spearheaded by some special people out there. If you see a young guy pushing a wheelbarrow, or spreading mulch, or working with wood in any fashion - give him an attaboy and/or a cold beverage. His name is Josh, and he rules all.
