Championship at Pine View Golf Course

I love the course layout. It needs some work on the back nine which I love.

Can't post how I really feel. Vandal's on 13th green took care of whether I will ever be back.

Course is in bad shape otherwise.

Better off as future Housing development.

Pace of play is good Mon-Thurs....Poor pace on wknds.

Wine and Nine is a good deal. Prices are very good which makes them busy on wknds. Back 9 is tough and causes duffers to look for balls in the woods...which really slows pace of play. Most of the greens are in good shape. Tee Boxes need a little work but, passable. Carts old & are hit or miss on speed & reliability. Younger crowd which means Music & lots of errant shots and lack of golf etiquette and slow play. Pack your patience or play Mon-Thurs, like all the employees preach.

Has the up north feel - challenging for all level players.

Course was great,I thought the layout was great. Only thing I would like to see them improve on would their bunkers,they need to get some sand in their bunkers,other then that is was great,scenery was really good. We will be back next week to play again.

Let's get somethings out of the way: The pace of play was very slow, largely because this was unexpected golf weather and lots of people decided to get out and play (myself included). The course conditions looked like they were set up for the close of the year and hadn't planned to maintain the fairways until the spring. Again, due to the unexpected weather the course was understaffed with no starter and only minimal help in the clubhouse which lead to a long wait on the first tee and slow pace of play on the course. I'm willing to give them a mulligan on this just because on Nov. 8, 2019 we had 4 inches of snow on the ground!

I loved the layout on this course! The front nine is more open and invites risk taking but the greens are quicker than they look and still fairly protected. Accuracy is demanded in a second shot in order to score well. The back nine absolutely requires accuracy! Number 10 invites driver with probably the widest fairway on the back nine but the rest of the back makes you question pulling out the big stick. The risk reward question will come up quite a bit.

The conditions of the course and practice facilities might have been impacted by playing golf on day when I'm sure most courses were planning to be closed. Even still, the greens were covered in so much sand that putting was questionable at best. Ball marks hadn't been repaired and on more than one green there were large strips of turf pulled up that looked like a greens keeper went over the green with a rake or machine that stripped turf up. There are a number of tree's that are set up in the fairway either near a tee box or green to add challenge to holes. Many of those trees are dead and need to be replaced.

Again, timing may have had a lot to do with the conditions of the fairways but they seemed very long and in many cases the fairways weren't much shorter than the rough. One odd part about this course, specifically playing in the fall, because there are so many pine trees mishit balls weren't hard to find. There are some broad leaf trees scattered throughout the course and especially along the fringe of the rough but so many that balls hide under leaves.

Again, the timing of the round meant that the grill area was closed but there was a young lady grilling hot dogs and burgers that were fairly priced, and quite good.

Timing aside, I think with some moderate investment and repair to the course this could go from a fair to average public course to something really special.

Manager tells me because I was late, my tee time was voided. Only 15 min late. He waits on the 10th tee to harass people. Even tried to force people to ride on a cart together despite CoVid. Plan on getting a hold of the owner. This guy needs to get dealt with. Going through other reviews, our party wasn't the first to get it at the 10th. In the end, he tells us to not ever come back. And I have 2 separate confirmation numbers for 1 player, 18 holes apiece. Made 3 days apart. So how were we to get charged for an extra cart? It was all under my name because I made the 2nd one for a friend. But it was still 2 separate orders made 3 days apart. Straight harassment. And when do they VOID a tee time because I was late??? And if that's the case, why are you just wanting an extra $10 for a cart........instead of me paying for the WHOLE THING again????? Never heard of a voided tee time. Worst case scenario I've ever experienced.
