Beautiful course, very well maintained. Enjoyed playing the course today. Greens were very challenging, not many flat surfaces. Definitely will play this course again.

Loved the course. It would have been nice to see a beverage cart at least once.

Solid Alternative But Was Slow

We played the Eagle and Falcon. Pine Knob is always a solid choice to play golf. At times it can be slow. They need to have a Ranger more active. We had a 3-some in front of us, we called Molassis 1, 2 and 3. Brutally slow. We had a foursome on the front nine and waited. The twosome with us only played 9 holes so we played as a twosome on the back mine so we were faster but the foursome behind us were catching us because we waited so long for the Molassis 3-some. They were putting and grinding over 12 inch putts. 😱🤯

Great course, slow play

Pine knob golf course was in great shape. But the pace of play was incredibly slow.. Would have given 5 star but had to knock it down a few due to pace of play. Need to spread out times better

Overbooked

I played because I got a hot deal, but I should have known better. This course has been overbooked almost every time I've gone, but it's such a nice course I was willing to risk it. Also, I was paired up with a group again which I do not prefer.

Slow play as always

Decent course, a little pricey for what it is. I’ve played a few times now and every time it has been 5+ hours. It’s a decent once a year play.
