Serenity

Everyone we came in contact with at Piankatank was friendly indeed. We were welcomes with a friendly young lady Amber (?) behind the counter and after the round a retired Naval submarine worker even though was just off duty was kind enough to take pictures of us outside the entrance. Was even kind enough to move the water cooler to take a better shot of us.
The golf course was well maintained with a Jekyl and Hide personally. The front was hilly and the back was flat. The back side had 3 holes on the water which were memorable indeed. The fairways were lush and the ball shot up quite nicely. best fairways this year.
This golf course was a little bit of a ride but well worth the trip.
My only complaint is that the workers move from hole to hole going forward and stay with you for two tom three holes. My suggestion is that the workers who are pleasant and doing a great job start there jobs going in reverse holes and therefore the interruption and noise of the mowers are only affecting you by one hole.
With that being said it is good to see workers out there doing a fine job and respectful of golfers by stopping and allowing you to play by even shutting their mowers off. Thank you for that.

New favorite course

To start off, the staff makes you feel like you’ve known them for years, extremely friendly. The course conditions were amazing for the price. Front 9 hilly with some challenges and back 9 wide open and flat with a nice view of the piankatank. Ill definitely be returning here.

Fun to play but greens inconsistent

It was relatively fun to play except the greens were consistently in-consistent. Some greens like a shaggy rug and other cut as expected but still rolled slow.

Challenging and Fair

I spend between a third to half the year on the Middle Peninsula. This is the best and friendliest course around. The head pro is great. The range is simple but well-cared for. I don't need anything special there. I really enjoy the course. The two nines are very different. I think the front plays harder. Several holes on the back play along the river, with views. I was really pleased with the conditions during my round. The staff has been doing a great job with the upkeep and improvements. Ill keep coming back.

My review

The course was fairly nice the greens were in good shape. However, the maintenance guy started turning on sprinklers without warning as we approach certain holes which was an inconvenience and a pace of play slow. They put a foursome in front of us in on the first hole the one guy hit four balls off the tea. Not worth the money

What a Gem!

What a gem of course with two completely different experiences! Front 9 is hills and valleys and simply beautiful in every way. Making it a challenge yet really fun time. Back nine is flat and completely different and changes your approach and game which makes it all a really unique and exciting place. We’re so thrilled to have discovered this! The staff and people are just beyond polite and helpful. What a great course! A must play!
