the course condition was less then exciting. I did not expect perfect conditions by any means but the fairways were causing flyers. The greens rolled quite well and were faster than usual, but any putt over a few feet was going through multiple different "terrains" the layout is a fun layout, and if the course would spend just a little time on the minor details the course could make a turn around to be a goto course in the area. I actually prefer the Pines course over the Oaks in the current conditions. With a that being said, please don't take this as negative, the course was still very playable, and for the standard weekend warrior they will have fun and enjoy the course. I am giving my review as a scratch golfer who is normally spoiled with higher end semi private or fully private courses..
The pace was great today. We teed off about 10 min late which is no problem, and we finished in just under 4 hours with only a few waits mainly because any ball in the rough was hard to find, every ball sat down below the grass which is not a complaint, I have no problem with penal rough. But finding balls was tough which slowed everyone down a little. There are not a lot of tee time options for Saturday mornings during the pandemic and with 3 courses. Palm Aire has been my back up course when other courses are fully booked. Beverage cart was around when you needed it which is great especially since during the pandemic there are no water coolers or drinking fountains on the course (and the same at every course here in S. FLORIDA. all in all. For the price, the course is a deal, but it would be great for the course to get just a little TLC. Today will not stop me from coming back, but I know what to expect. But a first timer or someone who hasn't been there in years, just needs to have an open mind.
