Pine Forest Golf Club

Greens were sand traps, fairways severally evergreen. We stopped score as soon as we got to the green of the very first hole.

DO NOT PLAY HERE
I’ve played here a dozen times in the last 4 years and today were the WORST course conditions ever. I’ve been playing golf for 23 years and I play a lot and always when I travel. This was the worst golf course conditions I’ve ever seen.
DO NOT PLAY HERE

First of all, I love the layout of this course. Challenging & scenic. Unfortunately, the condition is horrible. From tee boxes so hard you can’t put a tee in the ground, to dried out fairways (this did help my driving distance with the roll on hard-pan), to greens made up of dirt and weeds. So sad to see this course in this condition. So much potential. Was hoping with new name (owners) they would invest in the course, but unfortunately it’s worse than before. I will try again in 2024. Hopefully it’s improved by then.

Was one of only four players on course, greens were absolutely in terrible shape. Water sprinklers were running on three holes while I was approaching the greens from fairway. Fairways were in terrible shape also. This was my first time playing here and didn’t know what to expect but it was not in type of typical playing fashion I’m familiar with. The only thing positive was that the staff was very outgoing and friendly.

The greens were sand. Tee boxes were basically sand or hard as a rock. Fairways were garbage. Good views but terrible course.

I’ve lived in this town for 37 years and golfed here plenty of times in the past and this is by far the worst conditions I’ve ever seen. The greens are terrible and the “fairways” are non existent. $75 for me and a buddy to play 18 and we only did 9 and decided to leave it was that bad.

The staff was extremely friendly, patient play was great. It had rained the day before so the fairways were un mowed and the greens were pretty long. There’s also a lot of bare patches in the fairways. With that said I enjoy the challenge of the course and the view

Maybe I’m just a positive person, but I don’t think the course is in that bad of shape for January. Sure, there are some dead patches in fairways (but hardly any in landing areas) and the greens aren’t great, but it’s winter. That’s to be expected. The ladies inside were very friendly this time and the pace of play was great.

It’s sad to see a course like this become unplayable. The owner is more worried about what the pro shop and snack stand look like but could care less about putting a dime into the actual product itself, the golf course. I have played here all my life and these last five years have been the absolute worst of it. They somehow charge over $30 to play here with all of the money going to the new amenities in the pro shop I’m assuming. Buy a new mower and roller for Christ sake. Buy some grass pallets and plant some seeds over the course. Colovista is at least trying to get better while this course is just rotting.

It was a very tough round to play. The greens were not mowed for a while. The fairways were no existent. You Had to hit off dirt. Would not recommend playing the course. Needs a lot of work to get it back to playable.

If you require nice fairways, tee boxes, and greens, this course is not for you. If you don't mind rough conditions and just want to get out and hit the ball, you would enjoy the course. It had rained the night before so that was part of the issue with soggy fairways, but some places had no grass if the fairways, and greens were spotty at best. If they brought sand onto a few fairways to just level out all the bumps, that would be a big improvement.
I could see them charging much more if they did some improvements . So my recommendation is use this for a practice course, not for keeping score.

This is a fun course, but by no means easy. Fairways were in good shape. Greens had some patches of crab grass which made putting difficult if you had to put over the rough spots. Overall a good round.

The course was in very poor condition. Several greens were in poor shape. Several fairways were pretty much nothing but dirt.
