Winter Park Pines Golf Club

My 1st time playing here will be the last. The condition of the greens were horrible. I could not tell is there was grass growing or mold. I could not find many blades of actual grass amongst all the green sand they put on the greens to cover up the bad playing conditions . The tee boxes were not any better. I was totally disappointed especially since the city owns it and the Winter Park 9 is in much better condition.

Very thin fairways and no-grass greens - not a pretty picture but OK for new players or hackers.

In 2025, this course was in excellent playing condition. Clearly the course maintenance team were excellent and cared about the course. Obviously, something has changed. A lot of the greens and tee boxes are in terrible condition. And many of the fairways are lacking grass.

C’mon City of Winter Park - you can do better.

Let me know when it gets better. I’ll come back then!

If you want to play on the worst condition course in Orlando, play here. Terrible greens and tee boxes.

It’s been a year or more since the last time I’ve played Winter Park Pines and it’s certainly improved in its quality. The amenities have improved greatly, the course is better than I remember and the staff have always been great. For the cost it’s a good value.

I played this course today and I have to say it’s embarrassing the conditions the course it is in. They used to be in better condition. The staff is hot or miss if they are friendly. Plus they charge $60 for a bad course.

Greens were dry; that’s really my only complaint. Still rolled fairly true even with that. Layout, hot dog, everything else was great!

The course is in rough shape. I haven’t played the course since the Spring and would give the greens 2/10, tee boxes 3/10, and fairways 5/10. There may have been a couple of greens that were decent. Right now it’s a $30 course.

The staff was friendly and club house is fine. Every time I have played the course you had to hit off mats at the driving range. I’ve heard from others that on occasion the grass area of the range is open, but in the two years I’ve gone there that has never been the case.
