Overall good experience. We caught up to a group of 5 in front of us with only two holes left. Why do course allow groups of 5 or sometimes even 6? it always backs things up.

Well maintained course

First time playing this course and I really enjoyed it. Course was well maintained with clear signs of more work being done. The gentleman in the Pro Shop was very friendly. Pace was a bit slow, but it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon so it was understandable. Speed up the greens a bit and this place will be amazing!

Great layout, in really good position.

This course was a really.nice surprise. Fair, open but still plenty of challenge. Greens were in good shape except a couple had some clump grass, but they rolled nice. I’d recommend the course to any level of golfer.

Great layout and pace of play.

This course offers a really fun layout and pace of play was great. Staff was friendly and the carts are newer and fast! My only complaint is some greens have quite a bit of crabgrass. Hopefully, that will be treated. That being said, I’ll certainly book here again soon!

GolfNow should fix this

I, too, was caught with the $23- cart fee. Worse, I brought a friend and praised Pine Lakes all the way down from Jacksonville. I picked up the extra 46- for the cart but I won't be back. To make matters worse, we had to follow a slow, walking foursome who lived locally and refuse to pay the cart fee (which was always included on a Hot Deal).

Also, while I'm at it, the Hot Deal now requires 2 or 4 golfers so I cannot play as a single. For the total price of >$40-, I'll just play at the Royal or the Shores in St. Augustine and not bother with the travel.

Oh, the course is in pretty bad condition, too,

What happened to the greens?

This course was in sad shape the last few years and then made a 100% turnaround in the last few months and now it seems to be slipping back to bad shape. What happened to the greens? They were good the last few months and now they are in bad shape. Many weeds and bare spots turning up. Do they have a competent greenskeeper?

Crab grass on the greens

The picture is where I found my ball on #15. I was unaware that there are sandtraps in the middle of greens. Some of the back 9 greens have so much crabgrass on them that your putt bounces to the hole. Sorry Pine Lakes but I will not be back. Your either going under or you need a new superintendent.

Great Layout

OK. Let's start with the condition of the course. The tee boxes and fairways were in very good condition. These Northerners need to understand that they are playing on Bermuda grass. This is not the thick carpet grass you find in Michigan, etc. It's is a very short, almost sparse grass. This is how it is in Florida. So just expect it. The greens were average and 2 greens need work due to that lilly pad type weed you see here at times. But it will get fixed. And the other greens were not bad but a bit slow. Arnold Palmer designed this course and the layout is excellent. It is worth playing for 50 bucks as this is high season.
