Seriously Flawed Great Course

Pierce has a serious problem with Pace of Play.

Throughout this Summer I've had super long rounds because Rangers on this course could care less about a consistent Pace of Play so the entirety of Players can enjoy... A 6 person Group was slowing course up and 2-3 groups were stacking up... Called clubhouse & Ranger didn't break up group just asked them to pickup pace.

Such a shame for a Gem of a course

Great day at Pierce Lake

First time playing there and had a great time. Very challenging holes with a lot of blind shots and not knowing what's up ahead. Grass was great and the greens were in great shape-all but some scuffing up from previous play.
Would definitely play there again. Would have shot in the low 80's if I didn't have some blow-up holes and lost 6 balls and had 5 3-putt greens but that's golf!! At least for me!! Ha!!
I'll keep my day job for another year or so.
Than I can play more and mess up some more rounds.....

Nice course in the area

The greens are hard.. there's some very difficult holes from the golds and blues. Lots of deer if you play evening golf. Staff is friendly, they didn't come out and kick us off even tho it was around 9pm when we finished 18. First time I played the course it took over 6 hours and I only got to play 15 holes. But the last 2 times I've played out there has been worth the drive being able to get 18 in starting around 6.

Tough back 9, Cart path only

Happy that there were 10 min tee time intervals - a rarity in golf these days - but we still waited ~5 minutes on every tee. Played the course after a rainy day and there was water pooled on several holes. We were out on a hot afternoon weekday and it was still over 4 hours.

Course did not have liquor license so it's beer only. Maintenance guys decided to have a long pee contest in front of us teeing off on 14.

Really surprised that a county course wouldn't promote walking - there's no discount for playing without a cart. $32 for 9 holes keeps everyone who doesn't have 5 hours to golf away from the course.

The back 9 is more challenging than the front, which was more open. Just about every hole on the back was a tight fairway surrounded by trees. 18 was a 235 yard par 3 with an incredibly long green. Tee box signs did not have hole layouts. Cart paths on the back 9 were new and very smooth, but carts were limited to the paths. After 14 the path forks and there's no sign directing you to 15.

Course aesthetics were nice, just wish the highway wasn't right next to the course. Course was maintained well - it's just built in an area with a lot of water. Water doesn't come into play here - you lose your strokes in the woods. We saw 5 deer during the round.

Still an interesting enough layout and cheap enough round to try the course.

Nice course. SLOW PACE

It's a nice course. Some challenging holes. Course is in fair condition. Greens are difficult. Pace of play was ridiculously slow. I played solo caught up to a 4 some that let me play thru after 6 holes. Made the turn and there are 4 somes that are just teeing off. They said "sorry bud, we've been waiting to start" then continued to tee off. It's always garbage when a code sends players off the front and back.

Superb course - excellent value

There’s nothing negative I can say about this course, This is a well manicured course (greens are cut and rolled 5 days/wk), you won’t be disappointed.

Great conditions and friendly staff

Course was in great condition. Staff was very friendly. One of the best values in the area.

Only negative is that they need one more set of tees. The gold tees are 6800 yds and the blues are 6200. Either a new set around 6600 yds or a mixed set on the scorecard that makes sense would be good.

Will definitely be back.
