The Pines at Elizabeth City

The pines used to be a very well maintained course. Since reopening, The course is terrible, the course has now been re opened for over a year and there has been no change. the lazy grounds crew would rather shoot roman candles at the geese and fish the ponds instead of cutting the grass, the tee boxes and fairways are always very long, it takes a whole hour to clean a bunker out yet every bunker on the course is basically grass and as hard a cement, they have edged the sidewalks on the whole course but didn’t clean up the overhang. the old people there think they own the course. the pines needs help.

The condition of the course was very good--especially considering my round was was in late October, their off-season. The pub was open nevertheless and the staff everywhere (grounds crew, pro, bartender, manager) could not have been more helpful and cordial! I WILL, like MacArthur, return!

It’s cheap and decent. Nothing fancy. The foods good At the bistro, staff has been friendly. Greens are pretty good for the course. The layout is meh. There’s no beverage cart that comes around. This time when I ate there was the most painful elevator music to listen to and the young lady who had some country music playing last time said she couldn’t change it anymore.

Ive been a member of the Pines for many years. Lived through different owners. It is a gem for this community. It needs to be cleaned up. Fairways mowed. Bulkheads repaired. We have a growing community in Elizabeth City. This golf course is a much needed asset. Please take care of the greens, get the fairways mowed, and the weeds removed. People will come from Chesapeake and Moyock and Ahoskie and Hertford to play here if it's in good shape.. It is deteriorating. Please take care of this gem.

I found the course to be challenging. Small elevated greens, tight on some holes and a lot of water. I’m a single digit handicapper, and I found it to be a challenging. The greens could be faster and rolled but I still had a lot of fun

This is a great layout, Definitely senior friendly from the yellow tees. Nice number of dog legs, difficult approaches over water. Any golfer would love this place. Super helpful staff, nice facilities, pro shop, locker room, and a bar for after your round. This is a great value for the cost. Negatives, some of the bunkers have grass or weeds growing in them. $22 for a dozen used golf balls is a bit much, considering they weren’t all in mint condition.

What a pleasant surprise, aside from the confusing chris cross layout and they didn't cut the greens in the morning, I enjoyed this fun tricky layout. From the blue tees plenty enough of a challenge, small well guarded greens, elevation changes, outstanding water holes lots of carry over water to virtually island greens and many obstacles. From the tips quite a challenge.

Can't wait to play it again.

Many Tee box's not mowed.

Fairways were in bad condition, as was most rough.

There was still debris on some greens from a storm a few days prior, Guess they don't own any blowers.

Several cups were not set at the proper level, and some cup holes had been ovulid out making the cup not sit straight.

It seems the flags are to big for the cups as several times the whole cup came out when trying to remove the flag for putting.

Course was just OK. There were a few gimmicky holes, but more holes were just in poor shape. The overlapping fairways with no barriers (natural or otherwise) left several groups hitting into us.

Our family enjoyed a day of golf. Very friendly staff…a great value. Definitely will come back!

Have played this course several times, always a fun time. A few greens were a little dry but overall course was in really good shape. Will definitely return in the near future for another round

greens are rock hard. fairways are decent. Staff is fantastic. It will take another year of work to bring the course back after being closed during covid. Stop in the Bistro for a cold one and a great sandwich.
