The Pines

No clue where to go. No signage at all. Half the tee pads had the old hole number and wrong distance. Baskets also still are labeled with old hole numbers. First time playing this and we played 7 holes and left because the layout was all over the place. Two tee pads for hole 1, but no other hole has two?? After you finish hole 1 you walk past 2-3 holes to get to 2’s tee. 3 is way back away from anywhere that would make sense. I will say 5-7 were a nice change once you got into the pines part o ...

I will say 5-7 were a nice change once you got into the pines part of the course, and we were really excited to see the rest. Unfortunately we couldn’t figure out where to go, and were getting eaten by mosquitos, so we left. Maybe this is a really great course, and I want to believe it is, but from our experience I can’t rate it any higher.

WOW! What a change. The days of shooting a -10 for mere mortals (like me) are over. The changes to the pines are superb. I must confess that the old design will always hold a special place in my heart, but the new design is awesome. I went from a - 4 avg. to a +4 avg. on the new design. New, larger, cement tee pads, (the old ones were short and asphalt, hole 7 went from the easiest, (an almost automatic 2) to an almost automatic 4, or more, creek water hazard on several holes, unsurpassed flow a ...

WOW! What a change. The days of shooting a -10 for mere mortals (like me) are over. The changes to the pines are superb. I must confess that the old design will always hold a special place in my heart, but the new design is awesome. I went from a - 4 avg. to a +4 avg. on the new design. New, larger, cement tee pads, (the old ones were short and asphalt, hole 7 went from the easiest, (an almost automatic 2) to an almost automatic 4, or more, creek water hazard on several holes, unsurpassed flow and continuity,(except the short walk from 4 to 5 and back from 17 to 18 ) and a remaining huge fun factor. Short, long, straight, left to right, right to left, sharp hyzers, sharp anhyzers , The pines has everything one would want except a true wide open let er go hole for the mega arms. Amazing what moving the teebox back 30 or 40 feet and over a little can do to a hole. The pines has went from a very fun short and technical course, to a very fun technical course that should appeal to all. I likes it a lot. Good job guys.
