Pinetuck Golf Course

First time at Pinetuck...and last. The place is a complete disgrace. Not maintained at all, meaning clubhouse, range, and especially the course were in extremely rough shape. No hole markings, no guidance as to where next hole would be (only sign we saw was at one point telling us left for hole 11, right for hole 14), cart path was a joke (combination of gravel, mud, rural route, and off-road). Carts were atrocious - zero tread on tires, completely misaligned front axle, and parking brake did not work. Relative to course itself - was a glorified cow pasture and the greens were severely weather damages with brown patch and bare areas over a large part of each green.

Quite a shame as the course sits in a beautiful part of Rock Hill, SC - God's country. With the right leadership, course guidance, and financing Pinetuck could become a hidden gem. But in no way is it one now.

The greens were very soft which helped for approach shots. Most of greens were a good size. The tee boxes needed to be cut and sometimes the fairways and rough were cut the same height. The course is very forgiving which helps on arrant shots.

For paying average price for a sunday round, this was below average. Cash only at the clubhouse, so you'll have to use an ATM and pay a fee... which in 2019 is inexcusable in my opinion. I had to ask for ice for the beer as the staff running the clubhouse was cold and un-hospitable. Clearly only caters to the local crowd of the area. Carts weren't clean and had to clean our own cart prior to our round.

Course was un-kept and i lost balls in the fairway. Seems very run down.

Your basically paying for the old staff members retirement by playing here. Pay an extra $5 and have a much better experience anywhere else.

One look when you pull up says it all. Driving rage looks like an overgrown filed. Which it is. I know its not a nice course and I got a deal on GolfNow to play it and I still wouldn't pay that price again. If they charged you $10-$15 to play this course it would be worth it but that is it. Clubhouse is a joke, fairways are so grown up that your ball stops as soon as it hits them. I don't even know when they cut the course last time. The greens are junk. There are a few that are ok but most are in bad shape. They have to place the hole where there is some good grass on the greens to avoid the huge bare spots on most greens. Golf carts are trash. You are lucky if you make it back with one. This place has gone so far down hill the past few years. It was never a nice course but it used to be kept up better than this to make it worth playing. Not anymore.

WOW, I wish I had money fo a golf course, this course jags soooo much potential. I hadn’t played here in about a year but it hasn’t changed he’s much( it was better this time) I would start with the ran down clubhouse only because that’s what you pull up to and it could set the tone for your potential round, They also need to invest in some hole signs and yardage markers. No holes had markers??Most of the fairways, tee boxes and greens were in good if not great shape. A few needed attention but for the money and the challenge this course is well worth it. Don’t let the clubhouse scare you off. I will play here again and I will recommend but with stipulations

The amenities are in disgusting condition. Bathrooms dirty with trash on the floor. Club house appearance was terrible. Clubhouse area is all overgrown with weeds and shrubs. Back steps to clubhouse railing not attached to wall. Course conditions were ill-kept. Cart paths had overgrown trees. Course was terribly manicured. We will never be back. Price was reasonable but almost too high for the course conditions.

Good green conditions are the best attribute of this course. Little or no care is given to rough or sand traps. We picked a time and day that was too hot to enjoy golf.

I'll Give This Rating in sections:

Amenities: The Pro Club is not much of one but there is an employee to take your money and get you a cart to start playing. The Carts themselves leave much to be desired, the steering was stiff with little turning ability and my cart's parking brake didn't work but the courses paths were flat enough where I didn't necessarily have to use it although annoying throughout the round.

Course: The course is not in as bad a shape as the reviews will have you believe. I steered clear of this course for a long time because of them and took a chance on a $12 round. The fairways aren't immaculate but good enough to find good grass no matter where you land. The rough isn't all that definable either but you can tell the fairway is more manicured if not by much. The majority of the greens definitely had dead patches but the hole placements were separate from the bad areas of the greens. Being on bent grass the greens rolled true and had slope to them, something hard to find on a cheaper course.

Layout: The layout was good but very straight, most of the round you can see other golfers and it definitely slows the pace down a little. The back nine is actually challenging though, featuring three of the four water hazard holes on the course. Keep in mind this is a community course so houses are on sides of the holes so if you are a novice golfer be wary of mishits into yards and/or houses.

Overall: I understand the bad reviews, but this course isn't going for that type of experience and what it does, it does well. The Value is there and that's possibly because of the bad reviews but this course is not bad by any means. If you want to get out and hone your game, this is definitely a course you can get it done on. I'll be back.

I am by no means a regular golfer. I merely like to go as a time with friends periodically. This course was great for my needs, ability and price range. I would recommend for the casual, recreational golfer.

I played on a Sunday morning and the round took a little over 4 hours. It’s a fun, fairly short course with a wide variety of holes and tee shots. The front 9 is pretty wide open and you can hit driver most holes. Back 9 gets a lot tighter and tougher. The tee boxes could use work, but the fairways and greens were in great shape when I played. Starter was very nice. It’s a laid back, no frills course out in the sticks. Easy drive down 77 from Charlotte and you can’t beat the price. I will be back!

This course is very open but the back 9 is very challenging. I enjoyed the overall course. The course is a good value for the money.

This course would be so much better if they put some money into fixing cart paths. Some greens need some work too but it has a nice layout and some challenging holes. Overall, good value for the money.

The greens were beyond pathetic. I’m not an experienced player, but I know when I see poor greens and a poor course. I was beyond disappointed to get on the green on the tenth hole and see a giant mud hole. I paid $32 to play 18 at this dump when I could have done the same thing in Chester or Springfield and had a better course to play off of. The golf cart didn’t even have a parking brake on it. I don’t mean to sound snooty but this is by far the ugliest course I’ve ever played on. I will never go back. The only hole I enjoyed was the 17th. The fairways were dead grass, and the rough was just longer dead grass. Save your money and your drive and go to a course that actually cares about it’s appearance and it’s equipment.

Dry conditions Needs more water sources for entire course

Everything about this course was terrible. The fairways over ran by weeds and it appears that the course have not seen a lawn mower for weeks. The amenities and the club house were deplorable. We should be paid to play this course.

This was my first time I visited this course. The staff was not cordial. The course conditions were horrific. I lost a couple of golf balls in what should have been an open fairway. The fairway grass not only appeared not to have been mowed in weeks, but it is overrun with weeds. There’s no reason for that when listed on GolfNow. I will never play this course again. Worst golf course ever.

It's been a year sine I last played the course. Overall it's a challenging course however the rough could use some work due to the overgrowth. .

Only problem was the cart died on me and I had to walk back.

I was excited to try my luck on a new course (to me) in York County. The staff was great!!! Was greeted with friendly staff that took care of the grounds and club house. They made me feel like family.

Was surprised at the condition of the fairways and greens. I’d anticipated better conditions considering all the rain we have had in the area. Regardless, I really enjoyed the course layout despite the tee boxes not having any indication as to what hole was being played or the yardage.

It was a challenging course and I would gladly return to play again.
