Over 80 best ball

We try and golf once a week and play a best ball game. It gets us out of the house and gives us some much needed exercise . The course is in pretty good condition for this time of the year. Golf Now makes it a very enjoyable day. Recommend this course and style of play for all senior citizens

And now to give an actual helpful insight. Word is the tee boxes on the Pines are getting pretty beat up. Members evidently have besides no manners or courtesy on the golf course no ability to fix their divots either. Friend of mine and his old co-worker played today and there was a 2some slower than a 4 some and the 4some of course thought they owned the course and would not let them play through. I would not have thought golf members were ruder than the visitors but guess I was wrong. 4 hours for a round of golf is ridiculous when the course is not remotely busy. Marshals need to step on people a bit and have them play faster or not play at all.

aymac should play his own course but anyway, shame the 3 dipheads that never let anyone playing faster than them play through and their dramatics when they hit a bad shot are just juvenile.

A Good Value

This course is a great value course for a pleasant round. The greens could use some work but are playable. The course is narrow, which keeps it challenging. Overall, we had a very enjoyable round and would play again.

Interesting Tournament So It Has Been Said

Guess like 25 percent of the field shot in the net 60s on a course they have not played on in quite some time with new greens makes me think there are some handicaps off but maybe, just maybe the good golfers had that good a day. Vegas bookies don't think so and a little sandbagging "probably" happened but those people have to live with themselves if they need to cheat in a golf tournament. Never heard exactly what the $100 in merchandise coming back to each player was? A head cover does not cost that much LOL. Understand the rough is pretty dang thick but in reality, a lot of the courses in our tri-county area are like that aren't they? Maybe cut them down an inch or two more? Having rough in the middle of the fairway seems a bit harsh LOL. So it was 5 hours to play today nearly I heard? How hard is it to keep players moving and have them tee off on time! What couldn't be figured out according to some folks is how does a 2-man scramble take that many hours to play and if it is really a scramble when the best score only counts, why were there net scores for every player AND how come nothing was mentioned about top teams getting some kind of prize (s)? Mentioning that BEFORE the tournament may have amped up some more interested since the tournament was about 75 percent filled up. Good to decent comments heard about the changes on the course even having rough in the middle of some fairways is well, ridiculous.

Rude Golfers

It is bad enough when a 2 some plays as slow as a 4 some but when a 2 some stuck behind a 4 some because they won't let you play through, you need to get them off the course period!!

Once The Pines Is Open

Pines opening only for members for a month is a good idea to give the members some type of benefit. Would not totally recommend this course as just the Oaks available only because the golf management allows way too many people on the course at one time and you end up getting 3 or even 4 groups on the same hole plus EVERYONE piles over to #1 tee box regardless of their tee time thinking they can start early. That practice needs to stop and stop now. You cannot check in at #1 tee if it were up to me until 5 minutes before your tee time. THAT is the way many golf courses in the area do it so people basically are not in each others way - especially since 90 percent of the golfers out there cannot play worth a squat AND they take way too long.
