The Pines course 1/25/19

It's course is just okay it's wide open not much trouble to get into greens were pretty slow but in fair condition, most of the tea boxes were pretty grassless but for the price in the area it's okay to play.

Great staff!

First time playing the pines course. Not as interesting as it’s sister course the oaks. Wide fairways make it user friendly but not all that interesting. That said the course was in great shape, with very good greens. For the money it is a great value. And the staff at this facility is the most friendly and welcoming I’ve experienced in a while.

golf in January wearing shorts is always good.

Nice course, use to fast greens coming from Pittsburgh, but it was hard to get the ball in the hole when greens were really fuzzy. But really enjoyed my round playing with a retired air-force gentleman and I mean a real good example of how a man shows respect and definitely earned and deserves it. Thank you for your 25 years of service and some good laughs smacking that little white ball around today.

Very nice course.

This is one of the oldest courses around, but they do an awesome job maintaining it. From the time you enter the pro shop to finishing up at the 19th hole. The staff is always wonderful and friendly. The folks in the 2 trees restaurant are always ready to serve you.

Decent Public Golf Course

Having played golf twice now in Florida I give this course a 7. Course very flat, with very close tee boxes to speed play. Fairways very open and forgiving. The greens show signs of excessive use and difficult to read at times. Overall a nice course to play.

The pro shop seemed overwhelmed with the volume of players. I waited about 15 min to check in.

Finished 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours.

Pines Course

Greens are speeding up with the fall temperatures changing. The grass has started its dormant stage and the greens have browned up some with the near freezing low temps we had last week. Fairways are still green and plush. A fun course to play and some scores to be had.

Beautiful Course Layout

Very good greens and fairways. They have done wonders with the greens and fairways over the last 3 years. It's a pleasure to play here again and not have to pay in the 100's like Destin courses.

Nice course.

I played the sister course a week ago. Both courses are in good shape and were similar in difficulty. The greens on the Pines seemed to have a lot of poana compared to those on the Oaks. It did not affect the roll of the ball as much as I would have thought, but it is still gets in your head a little as you see it in your path.

Good day for golf

Pro shop and starter very helpful. We were to play Pine, but starter sent us to Oak because of tournament on Pine. Layout is fun, not super long, but pretty tight driving on most holes. Conditions were good, greens held and rolled ell. No marshals and got a little slow on backside, but not bad. Course tips book was helpful. A keeper
