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.

Mr Dave K

Good course for the Cost. Course was in great shape. Greens were very good. The course was wide open and we never waited to play the next hole.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The Pines was in pretty good shape. The greens were furry but rolled with some consistency from hole to hole. We had a great round!

Great place to play

I have played here several times in the last year that I've lived in Crestview, FL. The greens had bad spots in them last summer which were resoded. It happens sometimes in hot dry months (August) They are in great shape now. I have nothing bad to say about the course, clubhouse or staff. Nice play for the money, especially on a hot deal, from golf now.

Friendly staff!

This is a fairly short course compared to what im used to. Its not beautiful plush, but it is well managed, the outside bathrooms could use some attention though. Ive seen multiple staff working on the course everytime i play. Speaking of the staff they are very friendly. On two different occasions ive had marshalls trolling the woods with me in search of my lost ball. Now thats friendly

Course Getting Better

Good course, love the pines but greens still have a ways to go from some rot. Getting much better lately. Staff is very friendly. Miss the pro shop though. They don't offer a military discount when most courses in the area do. Overall, it's always a good experience on the Pines or the Oaks.

Horrble condition

Greens were half dead, putts bounced around. Chipping was ridiculous, grass around greens was very thin and patchy. Tee boxes were uneven - had to search for a flat spot to hit from. Very cheap price - you get what you pay for!

The Pines

Have played this course many times and we always enjoy it. There was a foursome two groups ahead of us that slowed us down. but not enough to complain about.

Much improved

Played this course last year and the greens were in terrible condition. They were mostly dirt and had very little grass on them. This year both the fairway and green conditions were much improved. I enjoyed my round much more and will go back and play it again which is not what I was saying a year ago. Plenty of tee box options to make it playable and enjoyable for golfers of all levels.
