Pine Lakes Golf Club

don't know what it is, but it is a detriment to smooth rolling greens on a course that is otherwise fun to play. Little tuffs of weeds in greens prevent a true roll. Hope it is conquered soon.

OK. Let's start with the condition of the course. The tee boxes and fairways were in very good condition. These Northerners need to understand that they are playing on Bermuda grass. This is not the thick carpet grass you find in Michigan, etc. It's is a very short, almost sparse grass. This is how it is in Florida. So just expect it. The greens were average and 2 greens need work due to that lilly pad type weed you see here at times. But it will get fixed. And the other greens were not bad but a bit slow. Arnold Palmer designed this course and the layout is excellent. It is worth playing for 50 bucks as this is high season.

first the greens had been coming back nicely but now crabgrass is come up making some greens unputtable #10 as example

problem with booking

if you book by clicking on a hot deal at the top of the tee time listing NO warning comes up stating this was a $20 walking rate me and 1 other in the group book this way. If you book by going down the list and click on the 1pm tee time you must select which rate you want and it does say $20 walking rate.

After complaining the the guy behind the counter and the owner would not give us a cart even though we were not warned by GN. He said a cart would be $23 dollars each, the most expensive cart fee I have ever encountered. Carts aren't ever gold plated for that fee. Could of offered us a cart at a discount but no.

At one point a few months ago I inquired about membership guess what that will not happen ever!

GN fix your web site

The coarse has so much potential. Just not taken care of.

Tee boxes are weedy.greens are being over run by weeds.you can’t putt without it jumping and bumping all over.

Pace of play horrible. Had a twosome,a single and a single in front of us. They would not join up and move along.waited on every tee box. No ranger .

The employees here were very nice. Lunch in the lounge was very good.

Just one issue. Tee off special price was 22$. In the past it has included a cart. This round did not include. Had to pay $46 for it. This is an absolute overcharge and brought my overall cost to the same as a walk- in golfer would get.

I booked the tee time a week before. After I booked they added walking only. I showed the pro shop my receipt and he said it was not good. He could not show me any information. He said it would be $23 more for a cart.

greens have weeds that keep the ball from rolling true. If you are a good putter, you will find frustration. .

Played Pine Lakes for the first time with a great rate on GN.

I was a single, and booked a”walking rate”. Upon booking, it is mentioned in the confirmation that a cart can be purchased for a fee when checking in. I was fine walking but decided I’d ride if the others booked at the tee time wanted to ride.

When the other 3 showed up, the golf shop attendant told them(rather rudely) that they had booked a walking rate and a cart fee of 23 bucks per person would be charged if they wanted to ride. Now I don’t mind paying for golf, and I play most of the courses in the area year round, but I’m not paying 43 bucks at 1:00 to play Pine Lakes on a Hot Deal, when the REGULAR Rate with cart at the SAME time is cheaper! Why they do this, I have no idea, but two employees argued that this is normal practice. Beware.

As far as the course is concerned, it’s about average for a public course. Bunkers need sand, and the greens are okay with patchy weeds occasionally . Not the worst, but could be better. No drinking water on the course, and the only restrooms I saw were on hole 9. It’s walkable, and the pace of play was pretty good for a weekend. Pretty wide open and a few holes play pretty long from the whites.

I’ll probably stick to many of the better options in the area.

No character. Greens were horrible.. people we played with were just as unhappy

Nice course, with good layout, but at this time; greens are disappointing as there are green weeds growing on many greens and getting a true roll is impossible. Very frustrating to say the least. I assume the course will do something about this, but until they do, putting will be challenging on these weed infested greens.

Couse host not very accommdating the other day. Everyone has a bad day, however.

Danny in the Pro Shop is very friendly and helpful. The course has great potential, and with the return of the previous superintendent and some decent weather, conditions, like poa sprouts in greens, are likely to improve.

We started as a foursome and then split into 2 twosomes and finished in 3 hrs and 40 minutes.

Seemed to play long from gold tees for me.Some of the holes.

Fire the owner this place is going downhill again. Spend the money to keep this course playable Brian is doing a great job with what he has

Conditions have improved greatly. Fairways are in very good condition. Greens are much, much better. Price is right. Staff is terrific!

We started playing this course again in the fall after hearing that is was returning from several years of terrible conditions. We gave it several reviews on this site and the word spread from golfers to golfers and now it has become busy. We played the course this past week and many of the greens are starting to become overrun with poa annua. I hope it will be addressed before the course starts getting bad reviews again.

Very pleased with playing conditions given the mixed reviews on this course. Extremely friendly staff and the course was in decent shape. Will definitely play here again.
