Fun course. Old style.

If you're looking for a relaxing day of no pressure golf, this is the place for you. The Pines course is relatively wide open off the tee. If the greens were faster, I would have rated the experience higher.

Greens were great.

Course was in great shape. Greens were fast. Fairways were green and lush. No problems.

Several golfers started around same time and slowed play.

Nice Public Course

Rated condition as average because though the greens had dead spots (some quite large) and they had just been punched (a necessity), the fairways were in very good condition. Of course I was warned about the greens prior to paying for my round so I can't complain. I don't play here often and there are 2 courses here (Pines and Oaks) so I have always enjoyed my rounds here. I played as a single and my round took just over 2 hrs.

Good muni course on the rebound.

MUCH improved from a few months ago. Greens getting back in shape with a few bare spots. Fairways in good shape. I'd written this course off, but now will play again. Good value, great staff.

Great Value

We got an excellent deal through Golf Now for a 12:00 tee time. As you may expect, not very crowded on a hot afternoon, but had a good time. Played the Pines course as a twosome in just over 4 hours. Course conditions were very good with the exception of the greens. Some were a bit spotty and they had also been recently top dressed, so quite a bit of sand. But all in all, a great value for our discounted rate.

Short and open.

Greens were in poor shape, they were obviously having problems keeping them alive. Too many other courses to choose from for the same price.

Needs New Greens

Most of the greens were awful. Only 2 didn't have significant patches of dirt (no grass) all over the green.

Bad playing conditions

The course was experiencing some "issues" with the greens and fairways. Hopefully the grass in the fairways and Bermuda on the greens come in better later in the summer, but unfortunately, the conditions were some of the worst I've seen. The greens literally were like dirt in large spots. Preceding the round, I was warned by the staff of the issue. This was very nice of them to do. But, I've played other courses around the area and they are not experiencing the same difficulty with the under average temperature weather. Staff was nice, club house was nice. Course practice area was one of the best I've seen. But, turf conditions need to improve drastically in the next few months.
