Nice course
It’s a nice course but for whatever reason they sent people off the back and completely killed the pace of play for those making the turn, just something to keep in mind if you don’t have all day to play

Great course
In years past the course may not have been in as good shape and for the cost, we rarely golfed there. We have been here a couple of times this year and the improvements are very noticeable!!! Beautifully cared for these days!!!

Return
Not having played Pioneer in quite some time, the greens and traps looked really good. The fairways were in good shape also. The cart paths could use an upgrade but I understand the cost factor .

They have done a very good job in cleaning up the rough areas along the fairways where you can find your ball if you miss the fairway. Has some difficult holes and some easy ones. Fun course to play.

Really enjoyed the course, got on and played 9 after work and didn’t have to worry about being rushed. Greens played really well.

Great day for golf
Even with the 17 year infestation of the cicadas, the course, the staff, and the golf was awesome!
