First Time Playing

Mr Palmer would be in tears

Although I heard from other reviews that the greens were horrible, I still came to play as it was an Arnold Palmer designed course

The layout was fabulous, with every hole having its own characteristic. Especially loved the Par 3 designs

Fairways were good enough to play ball down although some areas around the fringes were a bit bare

Bunkers we’re all raked

But Mr Palmer would be in tears if he ever saw the condition of the greens! Almost had to play “ automatic two putts “. Not sure what the problem is as I have played several other local courses. At least four greens were partially roped off because condition was so bad

Quarter sized green grass ( foreign) dot each green with dormant grass creates condition of your putts bouncing

Wish I knew more about agronomy

The course was bad

We had a group of 4 young players in front of us with only 3 sets of clubs. We had to wait on them at every hole The greens were bad. When putting it felt like I was playing Plinko on the Price is Right There were clumps of grass on the greens so the ball would bounce off those clumps when I putted

greens are bad

this would be one of the most challenging greens in the county only if they kept them up.All the greens had many clusters of weeds making putts move off line EVERY time. not worth the money. daytona public keeps their greens better.

It's OK. Really.

Normally do not take the time to write these - felt I had to.

Booked this without reading the stacks of terrible reviews, but browsed through them the morning before we played. Needless to say, we expected the worst.

We were pleasantly surprised - this course is not bad at all. No, not top tier resort quality, but compared with others in the region at a similar price point - really pretty good.

Interesting layout, conditioning kind of meh, but very playable, greens need some attention, but not all that different than we have been playing in the Daytona Beach area.

Caveat - we are only here for the winter season, and have not played a lot of places yet - but this is in better condition than Halifax Plantation, better then Riviera, better than Victoria Hills by a little.

We don't understand the hate. Is it the high expectations of an Arnold Palmer course? That's fair, but for under $50, this is never gonna be Bay Hill, or even the Classic Club.. Staff was friendly, hardly any people on the course - played in 3 hours.

Getting behind on course improvements!

The layout of this course is one of the top five best layouts I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing and the maintenance team had become a regular sight on the course, which is great since the course is in bad shape but I haven’t seen them out in a couple of weeks! The bunkers can not be called sand traps because they lack one important ingredient…The SAND!!! Also, GN has gone absolutely mad, calling $50 a “Hot Deal”, for Pine Lakes is like charging for parking at the Flagler Pier and expecting people to be happy about it! Don’t pay $50 dollars for this course or you will be very upset, the course charges $37 after 1100 and it really isn’t worth that much! The owners are horrible people for continuing to charge full price for this course with the condition it is in! I would love to have a membership at Pine Lakes when they get it back in the proper condition but I can’t trust that they care about their patrons enough to invest that much money when they charge full price for a course that isn’t properly maintained and carts that slow down to half speed and even stop working altogether after 11 or 12 holes!

Soggy fairways

Played here 2 weeks ago and the course was cart path only, thought by waiting this long to play again it would have dried out more. It was 90 degrees, but really should have been cart path only. They have really done a lot to improve the course hate to see it torn up by letting people out when it is still somwet.

The prior

The prior review is dead wrong and a lie...This course is disgusting....Palm Coast golfers pray the course is Sold to people who know how to maintain a golf course...the now owners do not have a clue how to maintain Florida golf courses....Everthing about this place is the WORST in Flagler County...I hope the owners go back to Vermont with thier buddy Bernnie

Much Improved!

Other than cart path only (understandable due to recent downpours) it was an excellent round of golf. The playing conditions are miles ahead of where they were last November. Greens are in far better condition than when I last played here. Great value with Tee Off.

Keep up the good work Pine Lakes staff!!
