Pinecrest Golf Club
Played On 05/30/2016Course OK, Clientele awful
I have been playing Pinecrest for years. The new management company has done some good things - cleared out some brush making some very tight fairways a little more forgiving. Greens are usually in good shape. I do wish they would add yardage markers. Staff is friendly and the restaurant is great for an after round cocktail.
My main issue is the lack of order on the course. There is no starter and although a ranger is patrolling around from time to time it is total chaos on most weekend afternoons. The front 9 gets incredibly backed up because two of the first four holes are par 3s. The back 9 is usually better. In addition, the "regulars" act like they own the place and can be total jerks. They will skip holes, jump in front of you, and even play 3-4 balls while playing by themselves. Case in point - we had a group of 4 ride right by us on the 10th green and start their round on hole 11. They had not even finished teeing off and we were made to wait behind them. After an exchange of words, they turtled and started on hole 10. Stuff like that should not happen but it happens consistently with "regulars" at Pinecrest. They act like they are members of Augusta National but are really just hacking at a public, municipal golf course.
