Pine Barrens at World Woods Golf Club

Played the Pine Barrens course here after doing research online. The course itself is unique and challenging. But it was spoiled by pace of play issues. Just under 5 hours from teeing off we finished, including a nearly 20 minute wait between 17 and 18. The longest I've ever spent on one round of golf. It really is a shame that this is the case. I would recommend spacing the tee times out and charging more for a round. We paid ~$55 for the green fees and range balls, which is very cheap for the facilities they offer. I would pay in the $75-$100 range for this, but I won't be coming back until pace is at least less than 4 hours.

Needs lots of work with lots of bare spots played here before but it wasn’t near as nice

We’ve been playing this course (both) Pine Barrens for over 10 years, and have never seen it in such bad shape. The greens were very slow with rough spots, the fairways were ok but the whole course needs watering badly.. there are a lot of unmitigated weeds where there used to be well manicured grass. All the staff is different ( they are friendly) and new except the starter. It looks like the previous owners sold the courses, but it sue has gone downhills. Not sure if we’ll come back. We travel 1 hr to play, but it’s not worth the trip anymore.

Nice layout, despite some pins in borderline unfair positions. Greens were nice, a few dry patches on the outer edges. Some rain would really help out but the bones are there.

the cart girl sucked. pace of play was horendous. course itself was amazing. what a great facility. golf shop was well stocked, and friendly people were around. play more break on the greens than expected.

Nice layout fairways in great shape greens fast. Can play tough especially if you have trouble in bunkers. lots of sand!

It is time for a makeover of the clubhouse and parking facilities. That said this is one of those occasions when the course and practice facilities speaks volumes.

This is no quirky , fabricated golf course . It is a mature , brawny stronghold that exposes the weak and pretentious. It strips away the facade of those with weak plans of attack and a quiver filled with suspect command of their golf game.

Don’t come here if you don’t have full command of a power fade or draw off all the clubs in your bag . Length, control of distance, sand shots and accuracy on approach shots are premium.

Spend at least 30 minutes on the practice range honing these shots before you step on the course. The green undulations are subtle and the are fast.

Every short approach is punished.

It is a wonderful test of skills.

Highly recommended especially 4,8,911,12,14, 15 and 18. Frankly the course is a masterpiece.

First time playing. Interesting layout, a few tricky shots but overall a good course. Condition was above average, good greens with plenty of undulations. I will play again for sure. Very slow play despite presence of ranger on course 5 hour round.

As good as golf can get! Even when Pine Barrens isn't in primo condition, its still a treat to play a world class golf course. Never get tired of World Woods.
