Winter Pines Golf Club

Love the course! We are in Florida until march, you will se me again!

I booked my tee time on Golf Now. I happened to book the incorrect tee time and showed up 35 minutes late. The staff was kind and still allowed me to go out. That marks the end of anything good to say about this place.

Almost every tee box was mounded. Standing at a ridiculous angle for what should be a flat lie. The greens, despite January-April being peak golf season in Florida, were almost completely dormant and/or mostly mud. They were bumpy and making a putt outside of 2 feet was virtually impossible. I know I’m not a pro, but as a 3.7 handicap I can usually sink a few.

The carts had GPS Trackers which was nice (I guess), until the gps would lead you to places the cart could not go. They also had ball/club washers attached to the back of the carts… they should detach them because on EVERY available cart to choose from, all of the washers were broken. Looked like someone got angry and smashed all of them with a pitching wedge.

$60 for a round was ridiculous. I mentioned something to one of the gentlemen I played with, and he mentioned the Club Owners dumped money into a new pro shop, bar, and drainage systems for the course.

The gentlemen said the pro shop and bar were not in bad condition and all of the members he plays with are irritated at course conditions and believe the money was spent in the wrong place.

Needless to say, I will not be back, nor will I recommend this course to anyone except for absolute beginners and that would be just to keep them from hacking up something worth playing.

A bummer that 0 stars isn’t an option.

Booked through Golf now for 2, it’s like he was mad I booked through golf now in stead of paying at the course. Brought my 7 year old son, he usually puts his bag in between mine and my playing partner, and sits in front with us. We were booked with two others so he said we can’t go out as a 5some and you still have to pay for him. Said he’d figure something out close to the tee time, he gave me a thumbs up then charged me full price for my 7 year old son who plays maybe 5 holes. FULL PRICE?! Not even a junior rate? He kept saying if I would have paid the course directly he could have done more for us but I don’t see why that changes anything. Well either way I ultimately did pay the course.

Please drop your prices in the afternoon, no way this course should be more expensive than north shore.

Had a really enjoyable time today. We’ve played the course before and always find it challenging when the winds is blowing. Greens keep one on their toes, as it has many subtle direction changes on just about every green. The golf cart GPS gives one insight on what to expect on the greens with its grain/break presentation. Pace of play was really smooth today. Staff was friendly and very professional in all dealings. Recommend this course for either 9 or 18 holes…

Course in good, but golf cart system sucks. Kept getting message that You Are In A Restricted! There were several of us and we were on the cart path!

This course used to be a great and fun municipal track that was accessible and fun to play. Now it’s over priced and out of reach for many golfers who looked to just get a quick round in after work at a decent track. I was always impressed at the way they were able to keep the conditions in pretty good shape at a reasonable price And I hope that with the recent price increases, it would also come some better conditions. But it seems like the recent price increases are solely due to make up the lost money They lost while having the back renovations. Because it seems like little improvement was made . Will not return until there are cheaper prices again

Tee boxes need a lot of work, but not the biggest deal. Saw a lot of reviewers about bad greens. They were nice by any means, but I’ve seen worse. Fairways were in decent shape. The bar wasn’t open until after we finished our round which was disappointing. I’d come back, but just because it’s fairly cheap. Don’t really need your driver on this course.

Been in Florida four weeks so far, this was our ninth course. The conditions here were the best we'd experienced on this trip, and most were more expensive. Friendly, helpful staff. Paired with two men who knew the course. Carts in good shape, layout kept it interesting, but not terribly challenging. Very busy, but pace of play was good. Definitely worth the money!!

Average value. Expected better course conditions. Tee boxes were decent but fairways and greens had significant weed growth. No on course beverage cart during the Friday mid morning round I played for those who care. I’ll be back for the convenience but not sure I’d recommend for those who don’t live close by.
