I'll be back when the weather's warmer

Though really cold and windy the day I played, the course was easy to warm up to with its player friendly openness. As a first time player on the course, one well appreciated feature was the tips for playing each hole on the hole layout signs. These corresponded to the course information booklet provided by the very helpful staff who also gave a brief overview of all the possible course navigation issues facing a newcomer. I'll definitely come back to play this course the next time I vacation in the Destin area.

Cool but Good

Played the golf course as a single with temps of 40F to 48F and little wind which being a Canuck was not a real problem for me. Shot 78 from the whites and made lots of putts and close chips because I was sufficiently warm and relaxed since not playing since early November in Ottawa. Staff were friendly including the grounds guys who were all out there working in the cold for them no doubt. Winter conditions on the course but still good overall.

Must play

Great layout, most holes give you enough room off the tee to miss your tee shot a little and still be ok. The sand traps are well maintained. The greens are nice.

Magnificent

The Course is in beautiful shape. The greens were very fast, probably a 9 or 10 on the stimpmeter. This is the best shape I believe I have ever seen the greens in about 35 years. Kudos to the superintendent and greens staff!!

You will enjoy this course.

I always enjoy playing here. Today was a bit disappointing however because of a very slow foursome two groups ahead of us. It looks like they were allowed to jump in front of us on the back nine. The marshals were aware of their slow play and never encouraged them to speed up. I will return though. This is an enjoyable course and the price is great.

Fabulous!

I think this was the best conditions I have ever played on the Pines Course. The greens were even better than when I played there 3 weeks ago. They were pretty fast and very smooth. There were a few grass patches on the edges of some of the greens, but in no way did it affect your ball in relation to the pin placements. Everything was freshly cut and was a delight to play on. CUDOS to the greens keeping staff for making all the improvements to this course. It has been a long time coming, but the staff has the right formula now for making this a great municipal course.
