Pine Barrens at World Woods Golf Club

Great layout. Not a boring hole to be found. Visually stunning course. Tough but fair. Greens were firm and quick. My only complaint would be that none of the bunkers were raked but I think that's part of the spirit of the course as they're considered waste areas. I will definitely play there again on my next trip to Florida.

Worth going to even if you have to travel.I live close by and golf now is the only way to go.

Simply one of the best public courses in Florida. Challenging, but fun. Highly recommend.

Here is the thing. It's a great course, but the severe slope in the greens can cause the pin placements to get a little silly. My partner hit two great shots on a hole (10 feet pin high) and tries to lag for a two put - no chance, he three putted.

Course was in great shape. Great test from all tee boxes. Elevation changes on many holes. Greens on great shape. I had the feeling I was in northern michigan instead of Florida.

This is a great course fantastic layout
A well run facility
If your playing golf in this part of Florida
Don't skip World Woods more expensive
Than other courses in the area but worth
Every Penny.

The Pine Barrens course was in great shape. The staff was efficient and helpful from greeting to exit 4 hours later. This is a great course with some beautiful scenery.

Hope to return to play the other course, which is supposed to be at least as nice. The main challenge were the tricky greens, get it wrong and see your ball roll a long way the wrong way! Pretty course, Personnel very helpful and correct. Probably not the mmost appropriate course for real beginners.

The average golfer probably wouldn't have much fun playing this course. Waste areas and forced carries everywhere make for a tough round. I played in a 25 mph wind that made it even tougher.

Exceptional course. Practise facility is awesome.
Check in was fine and starter was very accommodating.
Fairways were cut to appropriate level. Greens ran very true and fast. Lots of undulations and note to stay below the hole. Pin spot #1 is the toughest I am told out of the 6 given. All carts have card with pin positions.
Hit tee ball very well which assisted in playing the course well.
Definitely play this course when you're in the area.

I will do the course again/
Very nice course and happy to play

very tough pin placements on large undulating greens

Allées et verts en excellente condition. Les verts avaient été sables et roules le matin où j'ai joué donc ultra rapides en plus de présenter de nombreuses ondulations. Les fosses d'allées (waste bunker) sont omniprésentes et vous obligent à jouer le positionnement plutôt que la distance. Dans certaines fosses d'allee on devrait enlever un peu de sable pour éviter que les balles s'en fouissent mais c'est le seul commentaire négatif que je peux formuler.

layout is not the usual florida style ....most enjoyable.will be back
for low handicap a must play

Iv played at world woods many time and always try and play both courses you wont find much better than this !!!!! will be back !!
Try and play Southern hills plantation !!!

Great tract... unlike most Florida courses - lots of elevation...outstanding course conditions.... visually appealing... practice facility is excellent.... and good value for the money... one of the best I've played in Florida.

Rated in the top 10 of all daily fee courses in Florida by Golf Digest in January 2015, Pine Barrens deserves its ranking. A beatifully-desinged course set in an absolutely gorgeous area, it couldn't be better. Located 1+ hour north of the Tampa Airport, it's definitely worth the drive. -- DCK

This course is extremely well-kept. I still a beginner and this was the first course I have played like this. I would play it again and recommend it.

Great course. Always in top shape. No houses,swimming pools or tennis courts. Just pure top notch golf courses.

This was the second time playing Pine Barrens and is a wonderful course. It is well worth the drive to play and reminded me of playing Pinehurst (but for a fraction of the cost), and the practice facilities alone are worth a visit.
