Rating 66.2

Winter Park Pines Golf Club has offered one of the most affordable rounds in the greater Orlando area since first opening in 1968. The course has a traditional design that is ideal for beginners though it's also great if you're looking for a quick, casual round. The par-70 golf course may seem odd with a par-34 front nine and a par-36 back nine, but the layout manages to blend together seamlessly. The golf course has short par 4s and par 3s of varying lengths. There is one par 5 that measures 462 yards. The first half of the course is especially scenic with mature trees framing most of the holes. In addition to the golf course, Winter Park Pines also has a practice facility available. It features a driving range as well as putting and chipping greens with a bunker.

Awful

If you’re not in the fairway you’re playing a cow pasture with grass and weeds up to 18” high, and it’s intentional. How to make a nice playable course into something awful in just a few weeks on display.

Honest

The management has to be honest and let players know of the existing conditions, they are redoing 10 tee boxes and you have to tee off from the fairway my crew was not happy they did not communicate that fact, it was between 20 to 30 yards off making the par 3’s chip shot, bad experience. We were so mad that we not even ask for refund. We should, that bad the condition was.

Great Local Course

The staff were very nice and time sensitive about keeping the flow moving. Apparently, the restaurant causes them a bit of grief by their timing. The food was as expected, average at best for a golf course.

It was very busy probably because rounds only cost 27.00 while they're renovating the course. The new carts are a pain, you follow tracks but yet the cart automatically shuts off and forces you to try reverse or push your cart back onto the fairway. The new blue tooth/fm music option is cool though it's not loud enough.

It wasn't a problem before their change but now I'd say if you're a new golfer or a bad golfer (like me - I pick up after double par) you might want to look elsewhere, the cart time screen constantly reminds you how far behind you are and requests you hurry it up and the range masters will stop you and request that you speed up or skip holes even if you've been letting faster players pass you.

I'll keep playing there now and again, nice course. Hopefully they'll relax a bit in the future. Keeping time on my watch while I'm trying to have fun seems a little contradictory to me.

Nice course

I have played this course many times and it remains one of my favorites. I know without much rain lately, it was a little dry in spots but still a fun course.

Fun course for price

There’s a value factor in the course, but the rough was ROUGH! Greens are decent with a lot of areas in repair. Decent place.

Winter Park Pines a sad downfall

This course used to be a great and fun municipal track that was accessible and fun to play. Now it’s over priced and out of reach for many golfers who looked to just get a quick round in after work at a decent track. I was always impressed at the way they were able to keep the conditions in pretty good shape at a reasonable price And I hope that with the recent price increases, it would also come some better conditions. But it seems like the recent price increases are solely due to make up the lost money They lost while having the back renovations. Because it seems like little improvement was made . Will not return until there are cheaper prices again

Let the grass grow

This is Alayna fun course to play. My only knock is they book way to many people to play daily and don’t give the tee boxes or greens heal from all the rounds. If we could just let some grass grow on the tee boxes and greens this would be a top course in Orlando.
