Great Shape

Despite having a rainy April in the Northeast the Nicklaus course was in great shape. Fairways, bunkers, and greens were better than we expected for this time of year. Usually play this course about 4 times a year and is the course I go to when guest are in town for a few rounds.

FIRST TIME, WONT BE THE LAST...

Starts at the BAG DROP...staff on hand to remove and return bag from cart...to check in...then to be directed to the range for included driving/putting/chipping/sand practice...to bottled water at the starter...then the course itself(NICKLAUS) was just right...played a different course earlier in the week, and had 7 of 9 holes plug on drivers...not so here...greens are quick and true...just full of class...even the men's locker room...will have to find time to enjoy it all the next time...well worth the trip from just about anywhere

Great Play

Played this course for the first time and it makes it to the top of my public course experience in MA. Great course conditions, pace of play was very tolerable, and the greens were running at about an 7.5-8 speed and very true. The layout if fun to play and is pretty open for the most part. I do not recall any blind tee shots/fairway lies. Will definitely be playing this course again.

Pine Hills Nicklaus Course is Great

Had a great time at the Nicklaus Course at Pine Hills in Plymouth, Ma. today. The course is challenging without being too difficult. It is very well maintained with a helpful, friendly staff.

Slow greens

The course condition was great but the speed of the greens were very slow. I was very surprised to see the greens that slow.

Worth The Drive

The Nicklaus Course was absolutely incredible and there wasn't a blade of grass out of place. The only negative was that we had to play behind a twosome that thought they were better than they were (waiting for the green to clear from 260 away and then hitting it 10 yards). I wished the marshalls did more about this but the course was jammed that day. All that said, I would not hesitate to come back.

As usual, an awesome experience

There is no doubt that this and the Jones course are two of the best public courses in the state if not in all of New England. The course is always in great shape, the staff if phenomenal and the practice area is top notch. If you’re coming to the Boston area and can only play one course make it a Pinehills course.

Pinehills gets it

I always leave Pinehills happy. The people here understand how to operate and maintain a golf course. The tee times are perfectly spaced for a consistent pace of play. You almost never wait on tee boxes.

What makes Pinehills a 5-star golf course is the practice facility and clubhouse. With a double ended range, 4 practice greens and a clubhouse with a "private" feel, you could really spend a whole day here working every aspect of your game and relaxing at East Bay Grille. This continues to be one of the best all-around public golf venues in the south shore.

Hot Day

Brutally hot, with a heat index in the triple digits, but a fairly steady breeze helped with that. The Nicklaus course is easier off the tee than the Jones, but the challenge is all in the approach shots. Greens weren't slow nor fast, and they rolled well. Fairways and tees were also in good shape. The practice facility is unmatched, but I couldn't take full advantage because of the hot temperatures.
