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.

slippers

Course is very playable and in good shape. Every green was freshly scuffed yesterday by the groups in front of us around 1030-40. Couldn't pick up their feet to save their life, didn't fix ball marks either. Let's try to keep this place nice.

I don’t like the layout of this course

I try to play twice a week and to keep from playing the same courses over and over again I play Winter Pines 3 or four times a year …it’s tight ….there were five par threes on the back nine …the front is not bad ….back nine has five mostly 200 yard par threes it just it’s like why did they do that? It’s relatively easy be a good place for a beginner. It’s obviously convenient to Winter Park and I just don’t like it out. It’s not a real golf courses far as I’m concerned.

New management has taken good care

New management has taken good care Of the course. It’s in much better shape. I still don’t like the layout. Too many par 3’s. They should add tee boxes and turn a couple into par 4’s.

WP Pines In Great Shape for the Volume of Play Daily

With as many rounds that are played at this course every day, It is in great shape. The staff is friendly and helpful. Food and beverage selection is well rounded.

Greens smooth and true. Fairways in good condition as well.

Will play many more rounds here!

Good value

The course is getting better all the time. The city is taking great pride in fixing anything that needs updating. Greens run pure. A few spots on a few greens but over all the course is better than most we have played in the area. The staff is over the top friendly.

Great Course

I don’t think you can find a better public course in the area. From the pro shop to the bar/grill the staff is friendly and delivers an awesome experience. The grounds team also works magic with regular beating the course takes. Overall great value and an even better time,

Just a little tweek

Course is great. Challenging, great fairways, and well kept greens. Staff is a little abrasive, but the restaurant/bar girl was awesome. Pace of play was slow, but that’s what happens when you play a course where everyone wants to be a pro. Good course overall and would come back.

Don't Sleep On This One

Absolutely perfect course for beginners and juniors yet still being fun for more experienced players. Fairways and greens in great shape, and could see that more improvements are in progress. We had a great time!

The City ruined it.

Used to be my home course but it’s just not worth the money anymore. Their no cooler policy is crazy in the summer heat, even though I showed the starter it was just ice water and a wet towel to stay cool he made me put it back in my car. Greens were the slowest in Orlando.
