The Pines at Elizabeth City

This used to be a beautiful course but the greens

are in really bad shape and the tee boxes weren’t cut .

.

I was disappointed since this course was always a nice course to play.

Unfortunately this course has taken a steep nose dive. The fairways had not been cut in awhile, and the ones that had been cut this morning had streaks everywhere and grass clippings all over the place.

Last time I’m playing for the price they charge. A shame my “home” course has turned into nothing more than a backyard with a few pins.

This course used to be super nice. Today’s round was a major disappointment with the fairway grass being extremely tall. The crabgrass has taken over as well. Greens are not terrible, but have some spots that need a little love.

Overall it’s likely my last time playing my “home” course as the price has risen while the quality of the facility has fallen.

Friendly staff though…no complaints there!

The greeens are 1/4 dead with brown spots. The biggest issue was fairways were not cut and grass was so thick. Lost 3 balls in the middle of fairway because we couldn’t find them in the grass. Grass was same height as someone growing fescue front lawn 4-5” thick.

The course used to be kept up at a top notch public course. Now it’s under watered, greens have lost a lot of grass, driving range isn’t even up to backyard level. It’s convenient but not really worth the time to play. So very disappointed and sad at its current condition.

Have played this course multiple times over the years and it is a fun course to play. The greens were very firm and still needing some work. The tee boxes were in fair shape and the fairways were in very good condition. They have put in allot of work cleaning up the areas under the trees and keeping the grass cut and trimmed. The only issue was the water coolers on the course, they had water in them but it was not cold so you could tell they hadn't been changed in awhile. The price was great and the staff was very personable. Will definitely play there again.

This is a great course nestled away in Elizabeth City. The greens were a little rough but the course was in great shape

The yellow flies are terrible this time of year out there.. And many mounds of fire ants on the fairways.. Not the courses fault.. But the flies kept me moving through the course quickly. Next time I'll remember the bug spray.. Lol

Always enjoy playing here.

Difficult course that requires you to setup shots to the greens rather than blast driver.

Hopefully the greens get better as the season opens up but they were borderline unplayable on some of the more difficult holes.

Course was fairly maintained except for the greens. They were in very poor condition. When there was grass (mostly brown), it was hard as a rock. Another foursome in front of us only had 2 bags and this slowed things up. The course is affordable and challenging with water and traps. If they can save the "greens", then this place is worth playing.

The layout of the The Pines is great and is truly a shot makers course. On a pure layout basis it is a very enjoyable course that, regardless of skill level, anyone can play. What is holding this course back is the conditions on the greens and fairways. The greens would benefit from the touch of a skilled agronomist and over-seeding the fairways in the fall would be a plus.

Wonderful course a little challenging, finding all the holes wish it was more course friendly. Other than that beautiful time we had will be back.

I like the layout of the course..driving range was close and cart path only. Fairways fair, greens bumpy, sand traps wet and solid. I teed off the front and for some reason a foursome teed off on 10 that was never in front of me. I will definitely play again and blame course conditions due to season.

Had a 2:20 tee time and go to check in at 2:05. Was told there was no reservation in the computer, when I was charged less than 5 minutes ago. Wouldn’t ever look at a confirmation number. No carts outside available because it’s cold outside and they were closed in the morning…. So I wasted $25, but I could “walk if I wanted too”.
