Nice course to play

Have played this quite a few times and it is a fun place to play. The greens still need some work since they reopened. The staff has done a great job cleaning it up and keeping it looking good. I will definitely play it again.

Great first time!

Staff was exceedingly nice and accommodating, and the course layout was difficult but beautiful. Some of the greens were a little rough but most were fantastic. I recommend high viz balls as white balls get lost in the pine needles, but highly recommend this course

Terrible course, Poor management

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.

Great people, solid design!

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!

Good for a cheap local course

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.

Clean it up

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.

Great Layout

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

Beautiful course

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.

Little Jewel in Elizabeth City

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.
