Players lunch special.

Always enjoy playing this course. Also , My wife a I enjoy a nice cold beer after rounds but was told this special was discontinued. We usually order lunch with the beer but I guess will prob stop getting lunch after rounds. We always looking forward having a cold beer specially after a warm /hot round.

Driver friendly course

Generous fairways with good turf conditions. Premium on approach shots as many require crossing water hazards. Greens were well manicured. Definitely will plan a return trip

Summertime conditions

The course was not bad, although the conditions are summertime golf. Fairways hard and greens not very receptive. Gotta play Texas style golf and roll the ball up by hitting short and how that you don't roll off lol.

The greens were extremely challenging. Small, and firm, you needed perfect shots to keep the ball on the green.

Pros and Cons

First time I played here I hit my first hole in one and that was awesome. The rest of that round wasnt as cool lol. This time I brought my girlfriend who doesn’t play, she just wanted to come enjoy the weather with me and when we got going towards the first tee box they yelled at me to come back and pay $12 just for her to sit with me. That’s the DUMBEST thing I’ve ever heard. I lost my interest to ever play there after that. The course definitely needs a gps to help find where the heck you’re supposed to go because every hole is right next to the other and the flags are caddy corner in ways. Greens were Sandy from air raid I guess but I had a good time still.

Top Tier Value

First time playing the Pines and it was GREAT! Staff is incredibly welcoming and hospitable. Booked thru Golf Now and received amazing value for the quality of the course. Felt as though we had the course to ourselves. The grounds were in very good condition and surprisingly dry after substantial rainfall. Greens were fast and pin placement was challenging but achievable. I will return often, it’s worth repeated visits. This course is a hidden gem!

The pines a hidden gem

The gentleman in the pro shop was great

The course is open, water and sand bunkers everywhere swing easy and keep your head down and you'll stay out of them.

Take the time to play there you'll enjoy it.
