“The golf course was in pristine condition. I didn’t see a blade of grass on the fairways or greens out of place. The bunkers were so good, it almost wasn’t a hazard. The rough was inconsistent, but the fairways had plenty of roll. Aside from the exquisite bunkering and design of the par-3 13th along with the need for a precise drive on the finishing hole, leaving an approach shot to an elevated green over water, the remainder of the course was unremarkable. Most holes were straight or had subtle doglegs. The greens, although big, did not have a lot of tilt and only a few putts moved more than a cup. That being said, I would be hard pressed to find more than one hundred courses across the country that are in better condition."

“Enjoyable old school Florida golf experience. Pine Tree doesn't have much land movement but found the strategy to be captivating throughout. A lot of the greens are perched up and surrounded by bunkers placing an emphasis on high approaches into the greens."
