I expected this. And I’ll tell you, I’m….

It was a very nice day and at a very nice course, and with very nice hosts. When our group played in a little over 3 hours, and with very good conditions, a big time wa had by all. We were all pleased with everyone and everything.

I highly recommend it!

Pleasant Surprise!

I was hesitant because of the other reviews. I am so glad we played! The course was in great shape (if you hit the ball where you are supposed to hit). YES there is a lot of sand... It is a DUNES course. Greens were great. Wind from ocean added a challenge that you would expect from a beach course. It was $135, but compared to other island courses in the area, that is a deal. The only thing I would encourage from the club house, would be a marshal to come by and speed players up from hitting extra balls and hacking away from the tips. I would play over and over again!

Very nice, worth playing once

Played Pine Lakes. Course was in good shape. Greens were a little slow but reasonable. Nice layout. Was paired up with a single and as a twosome we played in four hours on a holiday Friday, pretty unheard of, so I wouldn’t expect that all the time.

Would play the course again only Pine Lakes, but bring your bug spray as the bugs were atrocious. I had two types of bug spray on and it didn’t work so I don’t know what to recommend.

Excellent condition

Pine Lakes was in excellent shape from tee to green. Staff was courteous and polite. Pace was a lil' slow but that was to be expected but didn't take away from beautiful course and scenery. Would definitely play again.

Great Dunes

Played Great Dunes yesterday. Price is way too high for what you are getting. Was a fun layout and staff was friendly, however pace of play was abysmal. 3 hours and 40 minutes into the round we only had gotten through 14 holes. We decided to leave early and call it today. Talked to multiple people in the parking lot who left early and also agreed the pace of play was terrible. Besides that, it’s a fine course but definitely not worth the price. Until that is fixed I probably would not go back.

Great Course but very slow play

I traveled down from Cleveland to see my son and play some golf. We decided to play Pine Lakes because we’ve played it in the past. Course was great but pace of play was EXTREMELY slow. We’ve had this issue before but thought it may have improved and it definitely didn’t help Indian Mound was closed until October. I would more than likely play it again but expect a 5 hour round at the minimum.

Fun day

Course was in great shape. Hey so play was really good we had a twosome and got paired with two others. It's hot and humid which is to be expected for the area. Plenty of wildlife including deer on nearly every hole Bring some bug spray for the gnats.
