I played Kelly Plantation in the winter when the fairways were still green and the roughs were brown. The visual effect was stunning. Didn't help my score but I enjoyed the course immensely. I am putting together a golf outing for about 30 people and Kelly Plantation is definitely one of the four courses that will be on the menu.

Perhaps the best design by Fred Couples. Great vacation destination. Be sure and ask for a discount on green fees, which they offer and gave to us, which really makes this terrific course an outstanding vacation value.

Challenging but fun. Greens had been plugged for a few days and hadn't grown back in yet.
