Seaview - The Pines Course

We played the Pines course for the first time this year and were disappointed. Starter said about 3 or greens had heat stress issues but is was more than half of the greens with issues and impacted playability. Most of the pin placements were near the edges. There was also a significant amount of weeds (nut sedge) around the tees and fairways. We have played the bay about 3 times this year with no issues. At $105 on a Saturday morning it was not worth the money. Tee time was 7:40 with very good pace of play.

Tee boxes were all chewed up, greens were fried and with grass completely dead in some areas, and pace of play was very slow with no rangers to keep things moving. Will not come back to play the Pines anytime soon. I was totally shocked because Seaview has a great reputation. Save your money, maybe the Bay course is better.

You’d think this place would be in better condition considering it’s owned by Troon, but that is sadly not the case. The tee boxes were an absolute mess, and the greens were by far the worst I’ve played on all year. Not only were the greens they slow and bumpy, but there was either dead grass or no grass on many of them. On top of that, you’ve got groups playing golf with zero oversight from a ranger who clearly need guidance.

I had a much better experience on their Bay course, but will not be playing the Pines again this summer.

Course is dried out a bit but acceptable. Watering with this heat and doing their best. Side note. Tell the grounds crew that a 6'3 guy with a driver in his hands needs more than about 5 ft between tee boxes? Lol. Always enjoy Pines. Will be back.

Played this course many times and actually about a month ago and it was in fabulous shape - played today and surprised it was not so good - greens were burned out and the course was not in good shape at all - glad I only paid $39 or would’ve been even more disappointed - not sure I will be back until somebody tells me it’s in much better condition

Greens were VERY bumpy and SLOW. Course hadn't been cut in what looked like over a week. I was shocked by the poor condition.

I am a fan of both of the Seaview courses....love the atmosphere and love them both. However, in my 10 years plus playing there, the Pines course has never been worse than it was today. Bare spots on greens, fairways, etc the course was in the worse shape I have ever seen it in.

Will no linger be a first choice to play

Seaview PInes opened in 1929 and has a traditional park layout. Plenty of trees and doglegs. True championship course - Sam Snead won the PGA Championship in 1942 at Seaview PInes. At 6731 from the tips the Pines presents a challenge for all handicaps. Best time to play - spring and early summer.

I loved the the overall experience of this course. From the convenient Location of the practice greens/chipping area to the great staff and lastly to the course itself and it’s condition.

Arrived and was greeted with attitude. Rushed to the first tee even though we were 40 mins early. Got to the first green and knew we made a mistake. Played again recently 7/23 and the 13 of 18 greens were brown. Get it together Seaview

The course is a nice layout through the trees and has good bunkering. It is not a long course, particularly from the white tees. It requires a little local knowledge or a GPS to avoid hitting through a few doglegs. The fairways were in excellent condition and the course drained well after heavy rain the night before. We were using individual carts and 90 degree rule. The greens were soft, slow and a little bumpy. Some of the greens are showing signs of distress in certain areas.

The pace of play was great! 3:40
