Pine Springs Golf Course

About
Pine Springs opened about three years ago and has gained the distinguished reputation of having unbelievably pure greens. This new course offers the benefits of modern design, featuring tough bunkering and water that gets in the way. A few holes feature ponds that must be carried on the approach. Hole 16 is one of the toughest, primarily because of the water.
Getting there : From I-20 exit 271 and head towards the right for 3 miles. Turn right before the UT Health Center and drive 1 mile down the road. Turn left, then look for the course on the left side of the road.

Goat pasture
This course is in poor shape. Fairways are awful, boxes aren’t cut, greens are hard, and cart paths lead to nowhere. Spend your money (and it’s not a cheap course) literally anywhere else.
Another Challenge
Having played this course before it was in good shape. The greens were hard but very puttable. Keep it the fairway well manacured. The wind was usable on some holes. Used Golf Now app for a tee time, still pricey.
All things considered was a great day. When there busy, don't get there too early for a cart.
Warm Day
This course is about average, the greens were in good shape, hard but smooth. The weather was hot to start, clouds came and made it bearable. The course was busy.
A little bit pricey however still a challenge. When they are busy, don't get there an hour before your tee time for a cart, bring a hand cart to warm up at the range.
Pine Springs
Greens and fairways in great shape for July in Texas. Good short course, nice play to play.
This course is a good bang for your buck. Greens were in good condition. Some fun holes also. Will return.
First time playing here and will definitely be back
We played here today for the first time and it didn't disappoint. Greens were excellent and fast. They held good with good approach shots. Fairways are wide and it good shape. It was just 2 of us, me and my son. I shot a 71 and he shot a 76. Driving range is very good as well as putting and chipping area. The clubhouse is dated and could use some TLC, but other than that I recommend this course. Like I said, we will be back.
Tyler Golf
I've played Pine Springs twice while I was in Tyler for business. I enjoyed it both times. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to play a good round of golf.
I throughly enjoy this course
I have broken my pb twice at this course. It is wide open so you can be very aggressive with driver beside maybe 1 or 2 holes. Some reachable par 4s and a short par 5. This course layout is extremely ideal for the average golfer. Greens are well taken care of and a handful of lakes for sightseeing. Pace can be a tad slow on weekends but not much negative things to say about this course. Would recommend for sure
Interesting layout, poor condition
Course has an interesting layout. It appears to be built on a site without enough land, as several fairways and approach shots are extremely close together. Having said that there are several interesting holes, some elevation change and water hazards.
Greens are very small and were in very poor condition. Most were very bumpy. Grass i the fairways was spotty - clumps of grass comping out of dormancy and holes of grass not yet growing. That made approach shots difficult for me. Around the greens it wasn’t any better. OVerall it seems like a course that want ready for play. Not sure if it was a hard winter, poor maintenance, not enough water, too much water, or something else, but the conditions were very poor. Having said that we had a lot o fun, people on the course were extremely nice and pace of play was reasonable.
Oh, and the cart paths are probably the bumpiest i have ever been on.
I hope they get the condition up to something better, as i think it would be a real fun course given a little better conditioning.
No restrooms on the course, only outhouses - but plenty of trees if that works for you.
I dont currently recommend, but if the conditions improve i probably would recommend it as a fun place to play.
Not sure why it is rated so high
So you do not have a cart path. The course layout is so confusing and runs into each other. Without alcohol we played one hole wrong. No drink or food carts. No water coolers. Could definitely be better run as it is maintained. Greens are nice. Fairways and tee boxes are decent. But for a twilight tee time on a Monday it was a bit aggravating to be waiting to tee off while a group was behind.
Fabulous greens!
Relatively straight forward layout. Not much trouble. Played from white tees, would play blue next time. Not much run out on fairways, but greens are awesome! Rolled very true. Staff was great. Definitely recommend playing.
Golf with a budget in Tyler
All in all this is a good golf course. I'm young and play when I can (including the 100+ degree weather in the summer). This is overall a nice golf course. The only problem I had was that the watering system came on when I was on hole 4 or 5.
