Outstanding!

To open this review, Pine Mountain Lake one of my top 5 favorite places to play. I find this course to be fun, challenging, and in an absolutely gorgeous setting. I always find Pine Mountain's conditions to be terrific, and even with the recent punching and a little sand still on the greens, it is in better playing shape than most of the courses in this area. The recent rains (snows!) have made the course lush and green with few, if any, troublesome wet areas. I have always found the employees at Pine Mountain to be courteous, helpful, and friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I feel that golf courses only have two things to offer...great golf and great customer service. Pine Mountain has both of these. I simply can't wait to get back "up the mountain" and play this course again. It is no surprise that they recently won an award from Golf Pass as one of the best courses in the U.S. It is well-deserved. So, if you want a wonderful day of golf with all the "extras", make the trip to historic Groveland, and play Pine Mountain Lake

Great course with great views

Pine Mountain Lake Golf Course is a must play if you are in the sierra foothills. The layout and course conditions are as good as any. The views are spectacular especially on the 1st hole. The mountain background frames a nice shot to the middle of the fairway. But the best part of the experience is the friendliness of the staff. This is one of the best groups in the area. They make every golfer feel welcome. Pine Mountain Lake Golf Course is a favorite.

Brand New Carts With GPS!

Found out that they just replaced their golf cart fleet with brand new carts with GPS (the old ones didn't have GPS). Enjoyed the course so much the first time around that we decided to go around again for a total of 36 holes ($26/person replay rate). Course was in pristine condition. It made for a very enjoyable day on the golf course!

Entire staff (including golf shop, cart attendants and snack shop) was very courteous & professional.

Fun track

Great course to play if you can get a hot deal. Greens are in good shape everyime I've played. It can sometimes be a little slower paced round.
