Pines/Lake at Tri Cities Golf Course

So I have been playing at Tri-Cities for years and its just always been a convenient place to show up and play. The staff and maintenance guys are always friendly and greet you with a smile. However, today was the day that I needed to post the negative things about this establishment since it has spiraled the last few years. For all the money you pay to play, over and over one would expect some type of return. Nice fairways, greens, and tee boxes. I understand its early in the season but unfortunately they will never produce at Tri-Cities golf course. The maintenance guys are always trying to do what they can but when a company doesn't invest for equipment and items needed to make it better, the place with never get better. And if those guys had the tools to make things better, it still wouldn't. The course doesnt have a ranger to enforce any kind of etiquette or rules. Today must have been senior citizen day or something. I watched probably more than seven groups of five plus people bottle neck the course up. On top of that, the seniors would pull their carts up on the green fringes, drive on the tee boxes, and had zero etiquette to allow others to play through. It was like a sense of entitlement. I believe if Tri-Cities would put some type of investment into their course it would have a return. Until then, if you like sub par fairways, greens, and dealing with large groups holding the course up then this is place for you. Just be sure to pack a few extra beers to get you through the day because your patience will be tested.

For March the course was good. Alot of grounds work going on getting ready for spring. I would always recommend this course.

My wife and I enjoyed an early March day playing the Woods and Lakes. The Pines nine was under repair. the greens had been plugged and sanded and the fairways had not started greening up. Considering all things, we had a most enjoyable day and would recommend this course. We plan on playing several times here this year.

I’ve seen it in better condition but the value is there and it’s a fun course to play.

They say you can only play with a group of 5 but today I was in front of a group of 9 and at the turn was supposed to play behind a group of six carts. I understand catering to members but this is embarrassing

I’m in from out of town and played the Pines and Lakes. It’s very pretty out there. Fun layout, greens rolled great and were in pretty good shape. Fairways are plush. Overall- great golf for the money. It’s a fun course and totally worth playing.

Good course conditions. Great staff. Pace of play was exceptional.

Very nice course for the money. Was stuck behind a fivesome making our day pretty slow but the course conditions are good, the staff is friendly, and the value is there to make me come back.

The greens were ok but the fairway and rough way overgrown. Needs more trimming for sure. Nice course layout but hole 2 has two greens next to each other so confused which green to shoot at. Also the white beat up flag on the pole of hole 2 maybe if replaced would’ve been easier to spot. Not a top 10 course to recommend.

Tri-Cities is not a prestigious course. However, it is a great course to go play a quick, cheap round. The lack of driving range and fairly bumpy greens brings it down a notch but I would recommend this course for a fun round.

The course is overall not terrible when you factor in the price. They really stack groups on top of each other. If it’s busy you are looking at 20 minute waits on each tee box.
