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.

New owners, nice job

I've been playing here since 2012-2013. The course has never looked better. I only played the back nine on this particular evening; it was worlds different than playing here last summer. Some of the tee boxes could use a little tidying up, but the fairways and greens were fantastic. If you've not been here in a while, you need to circle back. $20 for 9 holes seems pricey for ol' Winter Pines, but it was well worth it.

Course is making improvements since new ownership. The greens are in very good condition, the fairways are well manicured however the fairways are loaded with pot holes! Yes they can be avoided, if you see them. I still recommend the course…

Already Great and Still Getting Better

Love this course, only issues there ever were pace of play and condition of greens. Both issues have been fixed by the City of Winter Park ownership. On top of that they seem to be constantly improving the facility. The GPS carts are a little finicky, but I imagine that can be dialed in with time. Great course.

nice muni

After playing a similarly priced course that was burned out, it was a pleasure to play here. Yes, the greens were a bit slow but they were consistent and lush. The rest of the course was enjoyable and I will definitely play here again.

Greatly Improved Conditions

Personally have not played the course in 8 years. Last time I played, the course was in rough shape. Temporary greens, the whole nine yards. Finally decided to try it again recently. Found out the city had taken the course over after the owner failed to sell the course for development. In such a short time that the city has run the course, there are amazing signs of improvement on the course. Right off the bat, there's facelift renovations occurring at the clubhouse, and more improvement projects occurring around the course. There are signs of the poor condition the course used to be in, but the production I saw gives me hope that things will continue to improve.

Great little course!

Really shocked with how well this course played. Such a fun layout and the course conditions were clearly taken care of. The clubhouse manager Mark was super hospitable and I will definitely be coming back to play this course again. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, and greens were in great shape! The carts are even upgraded with the GPS screen add on
