Overview
Plantation Lakes is an Arthur Hills routing inside a Lennar master-planned Millsboro community—marketing leans on Golfweek recognition, clubhouse dining at The Landing, and HOA-style golf membership for residents, but visitors can still pursue guest tee times when inventory allows.
From Ocean City, Millsboro sits inland between the coastal highway and Sussex County retail corridors—drive times often land in the thirty-to-forty-five-minute band, similar to other Indian River Bay–area rounds, with summer Route 1 traffic as the main variable.
