Pierce Lake Golf Course

The course is in great shape right now! The greens are rolling smooth and true. Well maintained course.

Loved the course!! The course rangers however are complete aholes. Just plain rude for no reason, grumpy old men.

Absolutely love the course itself and conditions BUT with the amount of staff they have there should be a static starter...first tee was open 15-20mins before my teetime and I had to go into clubhouse to get group off putting green and into teebox.

Plus absolutely ZERO rangers driving around monitoring pace of play...almost 2 full holes in front of group ahead of us...makes for a miserable round...it's an absolute shame because the course itself is an absolute fantastic loop.

Better bring your A game. Pierce lake is in great shape as always. IMO one of the better ran courses for pace of play and usually they don't let someone bogart you at the turn. . Demands a good shot on most holes due to Lots of poison ivy, sand, swamps and water. Greens are in Phenomenal shape, tee boxes and good and fairways are perfect. Friendly staff for the most part too. I will be back for sure!

The course is in great condition and the greens rolled true. Challenging course that requires you to hit it straight. Only suggestion would be for more signs for where the next hole is on the back 9. Overall a great experience.

This course is excellent and a great round of golf.

Greens are in great shape and entire course is well maintained.

Played Pierce Lake for the first time today on a hot deal (plus reward). This was a hour and 20 minute drive from my residence. All in all a decent track highlights and lowlights listed below.

Highlights

Tee boxes are in nice condition

Fairways are mature (somewhat long in terms of grass length) and spongy.

Bunkers are nearly perfect in appearance and fill

Greens roll similar to their warm up green, roll true, but play less break then what I was reading most of the time. Definitely not lightning in terms of speed but are large (especially #18).

Layout favors a draw for righties in most cases. If you carry over 260 expect less then driver on some par 4s from gold boxes forward. Some holes are semi-tight with trees / marsh.

No pace of play issues whatsoever

Ample restrooms on course.

Lowlights

Ground under repair near the majority of the cart paths on the back 9 (say 5-6 ft on either side). This was being addressed by their maintenance crew.

Maintenance crew..... I was started on 10 and encountered their crews on every hole expect 18. Not a huge problem but figured I’d mention that.

Damp ground conditions. I strike down, if you do also you’ll understand this lowlight. It’s a wet type course.

If you’re considering playing, for $35 bucks and a 45 minute drive I wouldn’t turn it down.

* Compares close to Pine Knob with better greens if you’d like a reference course....

Fun day on the course even though there was light rain throughout most of the round. Layout is challenging with lots of sand traps, blind shots, doglegs, and wetland areas. But the greens.... undulating with significant level changes, guarded by traps and somewhat sadistic pin placements - YIKES!

I had a great round. The only thing I'd mention that needs attending - and I am sure you are aware of it - is the marker for the 12th tee: we couldn't find it and actually went the wrong way at first. But no big deal: it was a most enjoyable afternoon.
