Built by an award winning developer and custom home builder, ICI Homes, you'll quickly discover as you pass through the gates, that Plantation Bay Golf and Country Club is exquisite. Towering date palm trees, majestic oaks and tropical landscaping beautifully accent this 3,600 acre private gated community just on the west side of Interstate I-95, in Ormond Beach. Development of Plantation Bay began back in early 2000. Today, approximately 1800 homes have been built to date of the 4,000 planned.

Two golf clubhouses, two practice facilities, a short game complex and 8,000 square foot putting green, complete the golf amenity package. It’s hard to find any Palm Coast golf communities on par with this club.  Members also have access to a high quality wellness center and spa, two resort-style swimming pools, ten Har-Tru tennis courts, along with two bocce ball and four pickleball courts. Folks searching for the best retirement communities in FL won’t want to miss exploring Plantation Bay.
