Most Boring Course in Highlands County

My title says it all. There is no real degree of difficulty at Pinecrest. I will say the course is always in great shape, the greens are great and roll true. Its just an easy course.

A Lovely Historic Course.

I selected this course on Golf Now solely because it was located exactly midway between my home and my partner's home. Once I arrived, I was delighted to find that it was an historic course. The Donald Ross design features, particularly the greens, are still very much in evidence. False fronts, shoulder roll offs, etc. The greens are in excellent condition. The fairways were spotty but that is likely attributable to the dry winter/spring we had in Florida. Friendly staff, a good restaurant and a nice bar. We will definitely be back.

Book this course!!

Today was my first time at Pinecrest. From the moment I walked in the door, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The course layout is nice, lots of beautiful scenery and the greens...
The greens rival any private course greens I have ever seen. That being said, the fairways need a little work but all in all a great course!!

Really good course

Pinecrest is a very enjoyable course. The fairways are pretty wide. Rough is low and greens are big and pretty fast.

Hot Day at Pinecrest

The temp was 90 and sunny in avon park Fl . The greens were in great shape along with the sand traps. The fairways and tee boxes were a little rough due to the lack of rain for several weeks. I will definitely be back to play golf and eat in their great restaurant.

Wonderful Experience

“Hidden Gem” is truly the best way to describe Pinecrest Golf Club. I drove up with my girlfriend for a day trip from Miami, and we started planning our next trip before we got back into the car. Kay in the pro shop is the friendliest, most welcoming person we’ve encountered in our entire golf journey. We felt like guests in her home from the moment we met her.

As far as the actual course - zero complaints. The fairways, greens and rough is very well manicured. Greens seemed to be the perfect speed that day, and we really enjoyed the challenging pin placements! Very little water on this course, which is great for this high-handicapped pro v1 user. We’ll be teeing off again soon, but certainly not soon enough. THANK YOU PINECREST!!

3 hrs 12 holes

Too many hackers, 10 min wait at each tee. No etiquette in dress code.
Very disappointing

Great Course

This is a great course to play. The greens are awesome. All-in-all the course is in good condition. The tee times were packed, however it moved along quite well. Also, a very golfer friendly course. I will play here again!
