Pine Hills Golf Course is a championship course that was carefully carved from the beautiful North Woods located 30 minutes northwest of Shawano. The abundance of mature trees is the layout's defining characteristic. They shape the doglegs and line the fairways, making accuracy a necessity. There is also a surprising amount of elevation changes throughout that make the course even more challenging. The occasional water hazard comes into play but they do not pose a serious threat. Good course management is key but overall it is a playable round no matter what your skill level though it doesn't hurt to warm up on the club's driving range or putting green. Pine Hills G.C. location nestled within the forest may explain why it is still one of the best-kept secrets in central Wisconsin.

Just DEW it

We have played this course numerous times and consider it a hidden gem. However this time upon arrival we were told the front 9 was closed so we would have to play the back 9 twice. Since I booked online there was no way for me to know this ahead of time. We can deal with that. However the greens had not been mowed or cleared of the morning dew and it was thick. I don't know if it was because grounds crew were working in the front 9 but it made for very difficult putting and quite frankly not fun. The dew was still on the greens to some extent when we finished our round at noon.

Poor communication

Showed up to play the coarse after purchasing on line previously.

Was not able to play the coarse due to an outing at the coarse. Course was closed to golfers with a sign at the front door saying that the back greens were also closed. Totally disappointed with both GolfNow and Pine Hills. Drive time to the coarse was 1:30 minutes.

Great Course. Could use some spraying though

Great course in great shape. Love the up and down hills and narrow fairways. My only complaint was the bugs. As the afternoon wore on, the bugs kept getting worse. I would recommend bringing lots of bug repellent.

Fun course

Pine Hills was a fun course. The layout had a lot of character. Important to play smart and not just bomb away. I wish the greens were mowed that morning and for a Sunday it is unusual for them not to be. The other thing is there were a significant amount of horse flies. Definitely wish I had repellent. Overall it was a 4 out of 5.

The staff was great! Course not so much.

Put token for range in machine and one ball came out. That should have been a clue to just go home, but...

Cart was filthy, holes are dog-legged so they can fit into as small a space as possible, greens were in terrible shape, 16 pins were short-sided off the front (and not 15 paces, either). Every flag stick literally leaned and every green was pocked marked with hundreds of past ball marks and dead areas. More weeds than grass, more hard pan than anything. The bunkers were pretty good, though, and I was in a lot of them. No high lips or variety but that was the least of their problems. Can't imagine making a return trip.

Needs work

Course could use some maintenance. Rough tee boxes and greens need some TLC.

Help needed.

We got behind two very slow foursomes. Pace was extremely slow. No rangers on coarse to keep people moving.

Greens we’re not what we’ve seen before. Tee boxes and greens are in need of a break and some tender loving care. Not sure what staffing is currently ?
