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.

Was expecting more

I played with three others we all were strangers but great people. We stopped play at 11th hole because sitting for too long waiting for groups ahead. No ranger we could see to try and move pace and between bats and heat we all said it’s not worth it and left! Terrible experience!

Starting to get there…

So I’ve played the Pine Lakes course quite a bit and I’ve been watching great dunes grow in as it’s just been rebuilt.

Greens are a little bit slow. If you get the ball online, it goes where you aim, tea boxes are hard as a rock so make sure you bring solid, sharp golf tees. Now the fairways, which were a little rough coming out of the winter are starting to really grow in nice. I would say definitely pay attention to yardages since the greens seem to be very bouncy and you definitely need to control the flight of your ball.

Can’t wait to go back in a few weeks
