Par 70
Length 5354 yards
Slope 118
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.

Great track, tight/short but fun

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

Course needs some TLC

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.

Looking Poorly

Not in the same shape it was 4 years ago when it wasn't owned by city of Winter Park. But good enough for government work. The greens were completely re-done less than 5 years ago, but most are in bad shape. Landscapes left with weeds in them, sand traps holding water. Hole 1 is now 10 and 10 is now 1, they got rid of the fairly new granite hole signs and replaced with cheap ones that just have the whole number, no info. But if you want a beautiful outside seating area around the clubhouse, remodeled full bar, then this is your place.

Amazing Course!

This course had terrific greens, difficult holes (which I love, the better the challenge the better the course), the staff was awesome, food was terrific! Pace of play was good, I wasn’t feeling rushed or slowed down! I will recommend this course to all of my friends and family if we ever come back to Florida for vacation! We may just come to Florida for this course specifically!

Easy day for golf!

Great place to play. Conditions aren't the best, but the layout is very good. I like that they have multiple draft options at the clubhouse. No cart girl to bring food/refreshments. Very friendly staff and even other golfers. Will certainly be back!

Had a good time

I had a good time on the course. The staff and pro shop was great and the course was really fun to play. Maybe a lil grooming in some bunkers would help and the only real issue was pace of play was backed up pretty bad. Overall I would love to come back and play at a better pace

Worst superintendent in the area

Inside staff is amazing, course is a fun short layout, but the conditions are bordering on a joke at this point. The greens are worse than they have ever been, Worsening drainage issues on half the holes. Very sloppy job on the new extended tee boxes. Someone needs to hold it to a higher standard and unfortunately the current guy just isn't getting results. Time to move on and make this place what it deserves to be.
