Nice little course

Great course for your average golfer. Not super long, only used my driver twice so nice if you golf with a shorter player like my fiancé. Grass was green and greens were well maintained. Not a lot of hazards so don't need to worry about losing your Pro V 1s. :)

easy to score low, but a small course. Good chance to get practice in. Not a lot of par 5s...will benefit your iron game and give it some great practice.

Laid back nice course

Booked this on golfnow then arrived to the course to find out that they were redoing greens on the front 9 so we had to play the back nine twice. Turned out to be fun. We were visiting from out of town and looking for a nice local experience. Fairways were lush and in great shape. Greens had just been aerated and filled with sand ... So they were a little bumpier than I prefer.

But for the price, it was great! Beautiful on a nice fall afternoon.

A user friendly course

I played on a busy day but a good pace was maintained. the course is well maintained. Several fairways are close to local housing or roads. There are a few doglegs where those on the green cannot be seen from the tee box.

Good Shape

The course was in excellent condition, greens were slower than most courses. The tee boxes needed attention here and there, but overall one of the best courses for the money.

No ponds or water, greens are fairly flat on the front 9, more slope on the back

I enjoyed playing this course & got a super good deal. Staff was hoober friendly & worked w/ us, as we added a player when we arrived @ the clubhouse. Definitely a well orgainzed course & well worth the $. I would def. recommend this course for intermediate golfers. May be too busy for new players. Experienced players may find it a bit lackluster. Overall, a great experience. Def. would play again.

This course is a good mid level course

This course has challenges and some easy layouts. It is fun and some of the holes are a little too close together

The greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Lots of golfers were out due to the beautiful day. Appreciated the flowers planted on tee boxes

The front nine is pretty straight but greens are mounded to make putting a little challenging. The back nine has narrower fairways and the holes are a little more challenging. Enjoyed the number of trees that give the course its name.

Rolling well and a fun atmosphere

Greens, tees, fairways and rough was all in great shape and the perfect length for our round on Friday afternoon. The course is so fun to play when you have a good group of golfers out there. Many holes run side-by-side so expect to have some golfers playing from your fairway but when it's good times golfers man is it fun. Don't want the pressure of hitting while someone is watching you...then hit it straight cause it's going to happen here.

Always like to play this course with a fun group of golfers and even the groups behind and in front of us were having a good time. Good job by The Pines staff.

Great greens

If you are ready for great greens that you have to read and a well managed course then the pines is just for you! I loved each hole and each one had its own challenge. Whether it be the water on the back nine or the doglegs in the front, this course is great for any player!
