A stalled restoration going from bad to worse

It originally looked like PBN was going to uplift all areas of the facility. A grand reconstruction of the dining facility, an installation of radar tracking range, and small improvements in the fairways and greens. All work appears to have stopped. The dining facility has not seen a movement towards completion in 4 months. The putting greens are now a putting strip that has almost no "green" in it. The driving range has worn out turf to hit off and no grass to use. Some fairways are showing signs of burnout as if the sprinkler system is dysfunctional. I have no desire to return here.

Good value

Nice layout and fast greens. Joe Lee design was fairly open with no tricks. Only downfall was bathroom situation while new clubhouse is being built. Will recommend and return soon.

Course is easy to get to and well maintained. Fast greens. Pace of play was 4:10, which seemed adequate but makeshift clubhouse has no bathroom.

Good greens; fairways need help

Enjoyed playing here twice in the last week. They are all about fun. They are building a new clubhouse. The greens were good. Fairways suffering from dry spell.

Good round overall

Pulling up to the course is a bit underwhelming, with a small clubhouse and outhouses for restrooms. Practice green was said to be nothing like the greens on the course (thank goodness) because it is beat up and very patchy. Nice driving range, but can’t hit anything past 240yds. The course however was great. Tee boxes were in good condition, fairways played well, and the greens rolled very nicely. The course itself is in great condition. I would play here again, especially for the hot deal prices.

Nice Find

PB National was a pleasant surprise. With the exception of the bootleg clubhouse and bathroom/port-a-let situation the course was solid and straight forward. Great conditions and fast greens made the course a fun challenge with a typical Lee design. Hooked up with 3 others who played there for the first time and we all enjoyed the experience. Nice value for the $ spent. I’ll be back.
