Return
Not having played Pioneer in quite some time, the greens and traps looked really good. The fairways were in good shape also. The cart paths could use an upgrade but I understand the cost factor .

Pioneer
They have done a very good job in cleaning up the rough areas along the fairways where you can find your ball if you miss the fairway. Has some difficult holes and some easy ones. Fun course to play.

Great day for golf
Even with the 17 year infestation of the cicadas, the course, the staff, and the golf was awesome!

Sunday at Pioneer
The course was in great shape but there was a group of 24 golfers in front of us that held us up for 15 minutes on every hole on the front side.. Seems a bit overbooked.

It looks like the management team has decided to put some minor money into the course. I noticed the worst of the potholed cart path sections were repaired and some tree trimming and removal was done.
