Pine Lakes Golf Club

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.

I am dome with this course. the condition is horrid> It is not a good experience. So sad such a great layout....it would be good for the game of golf if this place either closed or sold to someone who loves the game,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

nice layout greens are not in good shape i was told they have a fungus on the greens so its only going to get worse

Nice layout. Greens weren’t in very good shape. Staff was rude when we returned the cart.

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!

Are you kidding, $50.00 Hot Deal....These owners have got to be kidding...They should pay golfers to play this Dump....As I have said before I live on the course....and have decided to sell my home after 14 years....DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY...GOLF NOW SHOULD DUMP THIS PLACE........SO SAD AFTER 14 YEARS...i'M MOVING TO cYPRESS KNOLL....A WELL MAINTAINED COURSE...

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 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

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!!

I just read the below review it had to be written by the owner...no one in their right mind would give this dump a 5 star rating....I live on the course and it is HORRIBLE ..the worst conditioned course in Plam Coast......all that this place is missing is a headstone cause the owners have killed it.......

This course is in very bad condition greens are bare fairways are weeds

the prior review had to be written by the owner or they were paid to write it....however wrote it has a long nose....the course is disgusting PERIOD!!

8 to 10 months ago this course was a mess ! Other than a lot of rain the 2 days before soaking the fairways it has Improved 100% greens are just about prefect! Looking forward to playing in a few weeks after the rains go way and it has a chance to dry out! Great job to the course management team for getting it back in shape!

just read some of the reviews...however gives this place any higher score than a 2 must play most of thier golf in a landfill...this place is a dump..don't waste your money...i live on the course and it is TERRIBLE

The recent reviews really rip this place and I think it's a little undeserved, especially given what the staff has done with the greens in the last 2 years. They've brought the greens from unplayable to mostly OK. Yes. there are sanded spots and bare spots here and there, just move your ball. We did that whenever necessary and nobody had a problem.

The course itself is great, terrific layout and the restaurant area is excellent.

All this being said, however, I have one serious (to me) complaint. Their policy of combining GolfNow singles into one cart is not acceptable. Given the whole Covid thing, this is a ridiculous policy, regardless of vax status. I play single once a week and have stopped going there b/c of this. I don't mind playing with strangers but same cart? No way, I'll play somewhere else.

This course has a terrific layout. The course conditions could be better, but very playable. More of a weed problem than anything. At least its not bare of grass. The greens were decent as well. The price was high for the condition, especially since I was charged the non resident rate for some reason, should have looked at my receipt sooner. I would recommend if you can get a rate under $40.

Challenging course. Fairway s are in good shape. Tee boxes as well. Greens recovering from a bad spell, but getting there.
