Pine Lakes Golf Club

This course was listed as a 4 star. No way. Hands down the worst course for condition that I have played on this year. Did I hit a bad time, (I don't know). Fairways and greens were not in that good of shape. As of right now, I wont go back. Really liked the layout and the course difficulty. Thought it was challenging. Would love to play this course if the conditions were good.

Pizza play was great. They are working on the course to make it so much better than it used to be. This time of year in Florida fairways normally aren’t the best anyway. But overall great experience!

The course was ok for the dry conditions we have had. The greens were very bumpy with the patches of weeds on them.

I didn't realize when I booked that the cart wasn't included. The gentleman in the pro shop informed me that it would be $21 PER PERSON for a cart. I asked why per person if we're just getting one cart. He rudely said that's just the way it is. I said if we're both paying for a cart, then we want separate carts to which he said they don't do that. I can see paying ONE fee for a cart, but cannot justify why we both needed to pay for a shared cart. An extra $42 was crazy.

Great conditions for winter. Some bunkers aare a little muddy and could use more sand. Nice greens but a little bit of crabgrass or something like it can affect putts. Fairway grass a little thin but typical for winter. Great, friendly staff. Kelly in 19th hole is wonderful as is the good. Nice beer selection.

This a very well designed layout, the staff was friendly and helpful all interactions with staff and patrons was cordial. The course was dry as you imaging Florida during winter and spring but the course still presents itself wonderfully. My only recommendation would be if they are going to put groups on both 1 and 10 they should notify patrons on paying and have someone to alternate groups coming off 18 so they merge in smoothly. This course apparently gets a great deal of play and it appeared regulars understand that 5 hour rounds are customary. BTW it is worth waiting.

I too played at 10:45 on Saturday 02/21. I booked on Golf Now, before flying from California to Florida to visit family. When we arrived at the course we were given a cart and asked to check in at the Pro shop. We were told we had to pay the cart fees because we booked online at the walking rate. Four days later and back in California, I get a call from Sarah saying we shouldn’t have been charges and she was going to issue a refund. Due to her great Customer Service, regardless of the conditions I would definitely play here again. Thanks for setting us up with two gentlemen who were fun to play with.

I purchased a pre-paid hot now deal and upon checking in was told the Golfnow listing is incorrect and is for walking only, which they don't allow before 2pm (it was a 10:45 time) and they've "told Golfnow but they haven't fixed it" so they had to charge me a cart fee of $27. On top of the $50 I had already paid, making the total somewhere around $80, which is a JOKE for the current course conditions, which are frankly pretty bad. For that price I could have played closer to home, on a course in better shape.

Many tee boxes are dirt with no grass. Most greens are infested with a weed or alternate grass that causes tufts to stick up and makes putting almost as bad as freshly aerated. I get that we're in a very bad drought and just had a hard cold snap recently. At a correct price I would be ok with these, but not for what wound up being nearly $80.

I love the layout, but I won't be back anytime soon.

The course has the potential to be a good course but it needs a lot of work. The greens were almost unplayable
