Played them a few days ago. I really like Pine Lakes. I guess I have a soft spot for old courses and I remember when it was really something to play Pine Lakes years ago. The course has some really long par 4's and the wind can come into play. I just like the layout and the greens were rolling smooth. Fairways were good. Down side is there is no driving range. I find the club house to be really cool as well. Have always enjoyed playing here. The course can tend to play long with the par 4's and if the wind is up.
Hadn't played Pine Hills at Myrtlewood in some years. It was in good shape as well and the greens were really good. Another nice traditional layout that I enjoyed playing. Probably doesn't get the respect it deserves and it does see lots of play.
I would recommend either course for a good day playing golf.
Nice report thanks for sharing!

The greens are new on Pine Hills.
Pine Lakes #3 tee looks OK at 6305, but as a par 70, it plays long, with those
long par 4's, with a couple of them that could be and used to be par 5's.
Thanks for reporting.

Some of them play very long. Some of the also are guarded by some large, deep bunkers. Some of them are hard to reach for the average guy like me. But, I really enjoy the course.
Thanks for the report.
Thanks for your report.,
I agree with Art that the 6300 tees at Pine lakes play long for a par 70 with some long par 4’s at 430 yards. So in my mind I make 2 of them par 5’s and am playing a normal par 72 course. Just a mind game as still playing the same course but it doesn’t feel so long.
Played Pine Lakes on May 9th, several greens were in bad shape. This was surprising as we have played there many times and never had an issue in previous years.
Thanks for taking the time to report!
Much appreciated!

Thanks for the report!!! Do they have Nets you can at least swing and get loose with?
Let the Big Dawg Bark!!!
I have not seen nets at PL. You can go to Cane Patch to hit balls, but I don't know
if they open in time for a early tee time.
