About Pine Tree Country Club
Pine Tree Country Club presents an enjoyable challenge across its 18 holes, stretching from 6,199 yards on the forward tees to 6,647 yards from the back. This par 72 layout features bent grass greens that roll true and Bermuda fairways that offer great playability year-round. With available tee options of Black and White, golfers of varying skill levels can find their comfort zone. The course is designed to test your accuracy and strategy, particularly on approach shots.
What to Expect
This course can be friendly to mid to high handicappers, but it will demand careful course management, especially near the greens. Beware of the undulating terrain around the greens, as those bent grass surfaces can be tricky — take your time on putts! The Bermuda fairways provide good lies for those accurate off the tee. Bring a couple of extra clubs for your approaches; you're likely to encounter some tests of distance control.
