Terrible green conditions

Fairways wet. Greens had no grass at all in most places. Like putting on hard dirt. Course should be offering deep discounts to get people to play. Was very surprised because course was in decent condition last year.

The greens are shot, mostly mud.

It's a shame since they just redid the greens last year. Something went wrong and they were all dead today.

Lost greens to fungus

The greens were in very bad shape. With the condition of the greens the cost of $47 was not good. Would not play here again until greens were bad to normal or cost was reduced.

Don't waste your money or time!

About a year ago the course redid the greens due to disease. I had played the course many times in the past and I went back today. Because of Covid and my comorbidities I requested my own cart. The pro made me pay an additional $11.00 even though they had virtually no other customers on the course or scheduled. He went on to say that they were getting rid of Golf Now because they were "worthless".

I paid the extra under protest and joined up with another golfer.

We both only played nine holes and walked off because of the horrible conditions. The "greens" were so diseased that all nine that we played were almost completely "black" from disease. The rest of the course was also in very poor condition.

This is an Arnold Palmer designed course and Mr. Palmer would be embarrassed about how the owners have let it run down. The course needs to be shut down and completely renovated or developed into housing.

Poor condition.....way over priced.

We have always enjoyed the layout of this course. Overall condition is ok but the greens are horrible. This course is way overpriced for current conditions. We are here for the winter.....looks like we won’t be going back.

Really poor condition

A lot of rot and bare spots on the greens. Some approach areas were completely devoid of grass. Had to look for fairway grass to hit from on the edges. More like a $20 course than a $50 course.

Disappointed

Pine Lakes used to be one of my favorites courses in northwest florida. I played there yesterday and was shocked by how much the course has deteriorated since the last time I played. The greens were awful. I don’t know if the reason for the deterioration is due to disease, financial issues or neglect but they were terrible. All the greens had huge bare spots, at least 50% or more of the putting surface was bare soil. I believe the staff should advise players the there is problem and it is being addressed. I drove for 40 minutes to play this course only to find out the conditions were terrible. I’m sorry to say that I won’t be going back until I know that whatever has caused the blight on the greens has been addressed.

Gone down hill

The layout of this course is wonderful.. challenging .. it the conditions were horrible.. the greens weren’t even greens .. the fairway barely differentiates from the rough .. staff was great very friendly and accommodating .. until they clean up the course .. it’s a 15 dollar round … I hope they can save it and it doesn’t have the same fate of riverbend and indigo.. other great courses like this one gone too early :(
