Pine Hills Golf Club

Played on 5/11/24, had a 1:30 tee time for a single golfer. Sat at first tee box for 20 minutes waiting on groups that should have tee’d off at 12:30 but the course is double and triple booking tee times due to poor management. Rangers do not enforce speed of play rules. Large group of 6 high school kids were 2 groups ahead of me, the other groups and I, all waited for 10 minutes at the tee box for them to finish hitting 30+ balls off the tee box with the ranger watching, and saying nothing to them. No one in the clubhouse was willing to do anything about it either. Course was in terrible condition.

Overall, the course just needs to be shut down or someone else needs to take it over.

I do not recommend anyone play here, you’re better off traveling a little bit further away, and going to play at Royal Lakes in Gainesville. It’s maybe $10-15 more for a round, but highly managed and a beautiful course.

Good place for beginners to learn the game. Just overbooked.

While the fairways are quite pristine, and the T-boxes could be flatter, I love seeing the work they are putting into developing the course! The greens are becoming quite nice in appearance and performance!

I hope the cost doesn't break 40 on a Saturday any time soon, but it is a nice place to play for a while.

Players don’t respect tee times. Ours was 3:306and we were there at 3:15 and got in line. People in front were 3:06 and just jumped in line. Ranger didn’t say a word. Lady and son behind us were at 3:20 and show up at 3:30. 5aone group behind them. Teed off finally at 3:55 and barely finished at 8:40 and that was only because 2 of ours only played 9 and 2 dropped out in 4sone in front of us so we just grouped up. Greens were like fairways I’ve played on. But what can you say for $30. Oh and they didn’t sell alcohol

Fairways are rough and the greens have been aerated and sanded. Putting is a challenge as you can watch the ball hop along towards the hole. Should be better with time.

Positives, staff was very friendly and approachable. The greens were in good shape overall and the course is open to accurate drives. Overall the course was in rough condition. Even in the fairways the grass was sparse with lots of patches that were dirt and sand to hit from. The pin placement was good, although the cups were all pulled upward and crowned at the top, making slow putts extremely hard to drop into the cup.

Pace of play was good. Played 18 holes in 3 1/2 hrs. Overall the signage was difficult to navigate around the course. The scorecard doesn’t have a course hole by hole layout depicted on it. Made the first time here difficult to make good club selection without a range finder. We’ve been playing a different course each week. Play this course aware of its limitations and look for a special price or hot deal before you book. DRH

My son's first time out and he found it enjoyable. I have always enjoyed this course.
