Food fun

Due to rain the soil of course was saturated with water. This made it hard tot play but the sun made it very comfortable after all . Due to a group of five in front of us (this should be prohibited) made it a very long play just till dawn.

Great Layout but Poor Condition

We got a great deal through Golf Now but was

Disappointed in the course condition. Lots of crab Grass and some bare spots.

But the thing that I found utterly amazing was there was NOT a single ball washer or trash can on any hole. One of the grounds crew drove by and I asked him about it and he told me no one had took the time to set them out after Covid!

I will however praise the course layout, as it has the widest fairways I have ever encountered on any golf course in my life!!

I would like to see this course be in better condition as it has so Much Potential!!

Don’t waste your money

The course was very wet and it was very hot when we played. No water on the course and when we went in to the bar on the turn, my friend asked the bartender for a cup of ice and she said she could not do that and that water was out of a fountain by the bathrooms. When we went there The fountain wasn’t working. 98° temperature and no water on the course. Unbelievable.

Comfortable conditions, but very straight, not very interesting

Indian mound is a fairly straight forward playing course. Greens were extremely slow, and course conditions were typical for the summer weather. We felt that the employees were welcoming and professional. Overall, an average course, not challenging, and very straight

Greens matter

Cup edges are scraggly and clearly haven’t been moved in over a week. They apparently get water if & when it rains and that’s it. Give us better conditions with greenkeeping staff and we’ll fill the tee sheets and pay more for that value. No real effort seems to be made.

Enjoyable Round - Friendly Staff

My 2 adult sons I played the Pine Lakes course. We enjoyed the course layout and condition. The traps were still a little wet from downpour the night before. Excellent driving range and large practice green. Various tee placements allows for family friendly play. The staff was courteous and efficient. All in all a very enjoyable round of golf. Would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Sand traps need more sand…a few were mainly dirt. Otherwise the course was very good. We played on a Sunday and the pace of play was very slow.
