Pine Brook Golf Links

I played yesterday morning about 9am. I was expecting a fairly slow round since there were a lot of folks there already - and that was kind of the case. Took me about 4 1/2 hours to play (was paired up with a threesome), but that wasn't too bad.
As for the course, itself: well, it was in "ok" shape. The fairways do have some dry spots and the tee boxes on several holes are pretty much dirt. But it wasn't anything that was too much of an annoyance. For the golfer who is out there just trying to break 90, this is a good course. If you're a single digit handicapper - probably not for you.
Now, with that said, the things I do like about the course are 1: layout. 2: accessible greens. 3. occasional challenging approach shot.
This course works well for me because you CAN miss a fairway and not be in "jail" or lose your ball. You can certainly lose balls here if you tend to hook or slice really bad. But if you miss a fairway by 2-3 yards, you'll usually be ok here. I like that.
The greens are probably C+. They roll pretty well. A couple of surprising breaks. They did firm up a bit in the afternoon. And they're mostly in good condition.
Overall, this course is probably a little nicer than something like Sweetbriar or Raccoon Hill, but not as nice as a course like Shawnee or Big Met.
For $41 on a saturday with a cart, seems like a pretty nice place to play. And if you're just trying to break 100 - this is definitely friendlier than any of the metroparks courses.

Went to this golf course early morning, looked beautiful, staff was very friendly but unfortunately a massive storm/down pour made it unplayable that day. I will definitely return to play another time though.

If you want an easy course for not too much money this is it.

COURSE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE
FAIRWAYS HAVE NOT BEEN WATERED
HAD TO FIND SOME GRASS TO HIT BALL OFF OF
COULD BE A NICE COURSE IF THEY WOULD PUT
SOME EFFORT INTO MANAGING IT
WILL NOT GO BACK UNTIL THAT

This place could be really nice with very minimal effort. The greens are really nice. They are too flat too easy however but clearly the gem of this place is the greens. Most tee boxes destroyed I hit a few tee shots from outside off box in the ruff just to have grass. Just play the blues as it looks like noone does and you will have grass. The fairways or lack there of. You have to hunt for a shred of grass to put your ball on just hitting center cut. The fairways have dead turf from drowning when wet and no watering when dry. You have a water source on site buy a water truck and water your fairways when dry. If you had turf on your fairways this place would be great.

First time playing this course as it was recommended to me by a friend, but my friend must not like me because this course was a big time let down.

The tee boxes and fairways are in horrible shape. The saving grace for my round was the greens.... they were fantastic!

Unless they figure out how to maintain the rest of the course like they do the greens, I’m sad to say this course will be a one and done for me.

Course was as usual average or slightly below due to a lack of rain.
The biggest disappointment was that all employees are required to wear facial covering especially indoors and none of the employees in the clubhouse were following this recent executive order by Govenor DeWine
In addition the cart I used and several afterwards were never sanitized.
Very disappointed!

I haven't played th I s course in several years, very surprising that is was in just poor condition.

Nice, well maintained course but heavy rains affect the course for days after.

Was a fantastic idea to play this morning but due to rain storms had to cancel...

as a beginner, this was perfect for me. Not too intense, not too busy. Just right

This course has mowed down weeds for fairways on some holes. And brown fairways on the others. The fact that it’s $41 for 18 plus the convenience fee is a travesty.

Course was rock hard and not kept up well at all either. On top of that, it was a slower round and then the starter sent off a group I'm front of us on the back...absolutely no reason to so that. Awful.
