Pace of Play

The pace was so slow that we quit after 9 holes. The starter, that was across the road, was telling people to wait the 10 minutes in between groups but that was not happening. I think if the starter was at the 1st hole and controlling the people going out it may help. As well, there needs to be a ranger out on the course to get people to speed up. The group in front of us were extremely slow. Example, on a par 5 they were a complete hole behind the group in front that were done the hole.

Love the course. Wish you had food. & drink

As new owners I wish you much luck as you are an asset to the golf world. And I hope you have a 9 hole $! Summers are so hot that 9 is all you can play.

Rainy Day but a fun round

Had a fun round on a rainy, windy day. 18 holes in 3 hours (since the rain ran others away) always is a great round in my book.

As always, there was no beverage cart - my biggest complaint about this course.

My Wife & I Walked Off

First 3 holes my wife (28 handicap) & I (13 handicap) had to move every shot to something that looked green. Disgusting, walked off. We went & played another GolfNow course that was fantastic. Pinar used to be great (I think) but is on life support now. Clubhouse & Restaurant are closed.

Disappointed

Parse was in a little bit of rough shape. Some greens need Some repair as did the fairways. Biggest disappointment was the 5+ hour round with not marshals in site. Of the 5 courses we played in the week we where in Florida this was the low point

Not a great day today, very slow pace, and disappointing service. Guy at the front desk refused to give me a rain check for the back after I have received multiple in the past. Not worth the price of admission.

Great course,enjoyable round.

Played with my wife and a local guy. Round was .excellent t no waiting until the last 2 holes so round in well under 4 hours. Layout is traditional lots of dog legs and you need to be straight of the tee. Conditions were good for the time of year, only one green had significant damage. Firm tight fairways and fairly quick greens that ran true. Friendly staff and refreshment cart came round twice.

Sadly ain clubhouse had closed by the time we finished so not a le to look around at the history here that our playing partner had told us about.

Will definitely recommend this course and will play again on our next visit.

Great value and easy to get to, we were staying at the bottom of International drive.
