Awesome day of golfing

This was a fabulous course. Greener then many I've seen here in west Michigan. Course was challenging, especially the greens. But all in all amazing value for the money. Will golf here again

Short but well maintained

Course was in good condition. I must have been on the same timing as the mowers And other maintenance guys. Old dudes playing in front of me took their time and didn't want me to play thru. Worth the $18

Decent course, horrible experience

I booked a tee time here, because I found a cheap "hot deal" through golf now, and the weather had a chance to be bad that day, so I didn't want to spend a lot on a round. I didn't expect a 5 star resort course, but after my experience there I won't go back, even if it's cheap.

Everything started out fine, no problems with prepay or check in, and the course is a fun little course to play quick, and the scenery is nice. However, before long, I learned that the word "etiquette" has no meaning there. I'm no uptight jerk, but there's a line. Between people driving out into the middle of your fairway while you're swinging and just sitting there(multiple times, different people), people hollering loudly from 10 feet away while you're putting, guys urinating from the teeing areas, and the foursome who averaged about 30 minutes per hole, caused a 4 group log jam and refused to let anyone play through (to the point where 2 groups skipped holes to get ahead of them), people lingering around the greens for 5+ minutes after finishing up, there is a serious problem here. There are no marshalls, or anyone to keep play moving, just the guy in the clubhouse at the cash register. Add in the fact that i had to push my cart up the 12th hole because the transmission gave out(plus saw another cart getting pushed after breaking down), and it's safe to say I had a very poor experience.

The course itself was alright, save for the fact that several of the teeing grounds were uneven and totally mangled, finding your next tee was sometimes a confusing endeavor, and several greens/tees felt like they were right on top of each other. The lone person I encountered that worked there was pretty friendly and helpful.

I won't be going back to the pines anytime in the near future, if ever again. It's worth it to spend a few extra dollars to go somewhere else and have a better experience.

This person's experience sounds eerily similar to mine in almost every respect. You get what you pay for I guess...

Did not receive reservation from GolfNow app

I arrived about 20 minutes before my tee time. I reserved the specific tee time the previous day and received confirmation. I went to check-in and the associates stated that I had no reservations. I provided confirmation of purchase from the GolfNow app. By that time, our tee time has passed and we ended up getting stuck in between about 12 other golfers. Pace of play was slow to say the least. No presence of employees other than in the clubhouse. I can golf better courses for less money and faster pace of play.

Great course for the money

For the price, this is my favorite course. The staff are all friendly and although this isn't a five-star course, they treat it as such. The course is extremely well kept. You can tell someone takes great pride in keeping this place up. The greens are great and it is an easy course to play.

Great Course

Played this course many years ago, and wanted to try it again. I wasn't disappointed! Fairways were in great shape. Many of the greens were aerated, but that was to be expected this time of year. Still really like the course.

simple enjoyment

While not a competition course it requires some shot placement. The courses overall condition was good, and it was nice to see them putting money back into the course with upkeep and improvements (new sand in bunkers). Only thing they need is a kitchenette for greater variety of food.

Pines Perfect for Bogey Golfer

Course is open, straight, and enjoyable. Not for the expert, but perfect for beginner to moderate skill level. My buddy and I were bogey golfers, and it was a great course to improve our games on. Definitely recommend for a good golf outing.

Course is in great shape.

Fun course to play.
It has been raining quite a bit lately, and stormed the night and morning before my round. They weren't letting carts in the course, so I walked.
The manager at the pro shop said "you were supposed to get a call from GolfNow letting you know about the carts." No call or email from GN, so I don't blame the course.

Nice course, a lot of undulations in the fairways, greens were in great shape. I'll definitely golf here again.
