Nice layout

Nice course layout with challenging holes and greens on the small side. My only complaint was that all the flags were red so you had no idea the depth of the pin and gps in the cart was not all that accurate.

Slow play

On the turn a foursome jumped in front of us… said they got lost and played the wrong course. There was just two of us but they insisted they should tee off first. By hole seventeen we were stacked three groups deep on the tee box waiting. No marshal or starter to be found. No other issues than that.

Great day at Pine Lake!

Course is in great shape and the greens are rolling true. Some weeds in the rough, but only on a few holes. The gators were not interested in us and the deer were everywhere. Beautiful morning!

From tee to green the course was not in great shape. A lot of the greens look like they are burnt out. It’s impossible to get food here. Can’t even grab a hot dog at the turn because it’s a 30 minute wait for anything. The restaurant closes at 4:30 which is weird considering it was a Saturday. We did not enjoy ourselves playing this course at all.

Course Condition

Very disappointed in the condition of the course Pine Lakes. No grass on fairways only weeds. Greens weren’t great either. Played the course main times in the past 10 years and that is the worst I have seen it.

Rude pro shop staff and horrific conditions

Greeted by a rude and Un accommodating pro shop staff who claimed we didn’t book for the number of players we had. We then waited for 20 minutes after our tee time to tee off on the first. 5 hour round. Greens were some of the worst I’ve ever seen.

Oleander

The course was nice! We bought the bug spray which helped keep them away. We played 9 at 3:30 in afternoon. Was a perfect day. We saw lots of wildlife!
