No carts

Not the course’s fault at all. It rained all morning the day we played. When we got there, just as rain was letting up, we’re informed that carts were not allowed for the day. We had to choose between not playing or walking 18. We chose to play and experience was ok. It just stinks that we paid for a round with cart and did not get what we paid for. Clubhouse staff was good about it and understood. It was out of ther control.

The course was ok but very yellow, fairways not on their best.
Our golf cart stopped suddenly between hole 11 and twelve without any warning, they are a little bit worn. Lukely they came fast to bring us another one, otherwise we would have lost our pace!!!

Waste of a review - anyway, too many sorry golfers out there that play way too slow. If you can't even break 90, go play somewhere else and let the members of the golf course play. Snowbirds and such have plenty of money - go play in Destin and SanDestin and leave our course ALONE!

Below average muni course

Fairways, tee boxes, greens all on top of each other. Pretty flat and straight forward. Bunkers were more or less piles of sand on the course. Greens in good shape, but completely flat.
Would expect to pay $30-40 for a course like this. Will not be back.

Pines

Wide fairways, grass dormant this time of year.
Greens a little slow.
Played in 3 1/2 hours, good pace.
