Lakeside/Pines at Blue Hill Golf Course

Had a great time playing this course. Some great par3s mixed in with 4s and 5s. Will be back again.

People in front of us were incredibly slow and were taking chain smoking breaks before teeing on every hole. Took 5 and a half hours to play with 2 people.

Keep the ball in play and you’ll enjoy … trees, rough and water … Stay clear
After rain, greens were unpredictable.
Slow groups in later times keep you from getting full 18 …
Wonderful round of golf !!!

Nice course with challenges.
Enjoyed playing the pines and woodlands.
Pines 1 very long for a par 4 when #2 is the same and a par 5 ?
Overall a nice challenge.

We enjoyed playing Blue Hills GC. We played the Woods and Lake.courses
Pros: friendly staff. We got right out as a threesome
Easy course to follow and shot a 96
Fairways and tee boxes were in good shape for this time of year
Castle Clubhouse pub was nice. Happy hour $5.00 draft beers. Hamburger platter was good
Cons:
No drinking water on the course. The heat index temp was over 100 degrees. There was however a cart girl we saw a few times.
Slow play for mid week in the heat. 4.30 hours
Greens were just aerated on the Lake nines.
The aeration schedule should have been noted on GN before we signed up
A lot off divots on the greens. Players were not repairing their divots for the most part.
Cart GPS screen was not working.

We would play it again.

HONEST REVIEW
-The course conditions were very good.
- Pace of play was average. 4:45 pace
-There were no water jugs anywhere to be found on the course near any tee boxes. I expect a course to provide complimentary water every 6 holes or so to golfers.
- For a course that promotes walking it is not very walker friendly for those with push carts. There are very large cart path curbs everywhere which made it very difficult and annoying to maneuver my electric push cart around the course as I was constantly having to avoid these curbs which resulted in a lot of extra walking. There need to be more curb cutouts for walkers with push carts, especially near the tee boxes, which will allow better access around the course, while still prevent riding carts from going where they aren't supposed to be.

Neighboring holes are right next to you. Blind tee shots create situations where group behind you might hit into you without realizing you are still on hole and in fairway.
Quickly lose balls off fairway and creates a slow pace of play

The course is really nice, but the greens were filed with divots. This is not a cheap course and a bit disappointing that the greens were in such bad shape.

The course is not long but play long. Tee box, fairway, and greens are all well maintained.
The trees are very dense. Hitting into wood is difficult to get out. Stay on fairway is best strategy
