Used to be really nice

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.

Nice course to play

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.

Nice course, bad bugs..

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.

Challenging layout

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 Pines a diamond in the rough

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.

The Pines at Elizabeth city

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.

Avoid at all cost, not Golf Now friendly.

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”.

Better than it was the first time I played.

We really enjoyed playing the course on 10/08. I had only played there once before a couple of years ago and due to the greens weren’t in the greatest shape and there was an over abundance of geese I didn’t go back. We (3 of us) are glad we gave them another chance on 10/08 and we really enjoyed it.

The Pines

1st time playing here. I thought it was an incredible value. Great course layout with good course condition. A little bit of crab grass in fairways, greens were hard to hold (no divots). Greens were in good shape, rolled true, probably a 9 on stimp so a little slow. All in all a fantastic value
