Disappointing Outing

Course was average at best and we received a discounted rate via GolfNow however when we arrived at the course it was not honored (paid $30 instead of $26 + GolfNow Fees). Would not recommend.

Great value for the Money

Played with my Dad and two sons. Had a very relaxing fun round. A few greens had "green bunkers" but most were in excellent shape. Fairways were good except for a few spots. All tee boxes were hard to put tee in ground.

Nice course to practice on for the more difficult courses in the area.

My first time here was with a friend who had been here many times and was able to show me some good points about it. It's a friendly little course with few difficult fairways and lanes. I will return here from time to time.

Great place for the average player

This is a great "B" level course to play. Not very challenging. The Fairways need to be mowed and the Greens are slow. With that being said, I had a great time.

Pine Hills Experience

The course layout is very nice and the course is rather wide open, so slicing on this course will not hurt you too often.

Needs some grass.

No bunkers, although sand patches on green over 1/2" in some areas. Fairways, needed mowing and some grass to mow. Ball looked like it was in the deep rough in the middle of the fairway. Greens and tees brick hard. Price was great, but overall not worth it for anyone with a 12 handicap or less. Not a place to evaluate your game. Staff was friendly.

Super Friendly & Welcoming Staff---Superb Value

Much tougher layout than I was expecting. All of the Athens area courses we normally play were closed or booked so we gave Pine Hills a shot and glad we did. The course is better than we had heard in every way and the staff's reputation for friendliness is well-earned. Thank you, Ma'am. The downside was the greens were OK but too slow to putt with any accuracy. The tee boxes were also chewed up on most tees. All-in-all, the price is right, you will feel welcomed, and I would play it again if my other options were not available or too pricy.

Forgiving fairways

Good beginner course. Lots of open fairways. Slow greens a few where in bad shape someone had gotten carried away with the mower. Tee boxes are in okay shape.

First time playing Pine Hills

We had passed by this course many times and always wondered about it. We played on a Sunday morning, many foursomes in front of our 3 some, the pace of play was good, we finished in 4 hours. The majority of the greens looked good. The greens putted slower than we were accustomed to. We had a good time.

Cartpath needs work

This just an average track if you're working on your game. Greens are small and in somewhat decent rollable condition. Cups are not cut good as most of the edges are fuzzy. Ball will not stop if you are on the wrong side of the cup. Fairway needs much grass but your ball will roll a long way. For the price you paid, it's tolerable.

Bang for the buck

This isn't a high dollar course nor does it pretend to be. Played here because other plans fell thru but I had a blast. You can really unload with your driver without getting into much trouble. The course was in pretty good shape for February and my biggest complaint was golfers dragging their feet on the greens and I even saw a few cigarette burns on the greens as well. For the dollar though, its a ton of fun and I'll go back.

Best Place To Work On your Game

I have played this course several times since the summer of 2015. I was told it was a great course to work on your game and the price is like an extended time on the driving range.
There are challenging holes but for the most part the fairway will not hurt you if you slice or hook.
The people that work there are absolutely the friendliest you will will find. After all the rain we had in metro Atlanta we were still given the green light to drive on the fairway with our discretion.
The course is normally not crowded so your pace of play can be relaxed.
