Pine Hills Golf Course
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Pine Hills Golf Course?
We find late spring through early fall offers the most enjoyable conditions at Pine Hills. The fairways are lush, and the course truly shines when the pine trees are in full bloom, though you'll want to book well in advance as it's a popular window. Avoid mid-summer if you're not a fan of humidity, as it can get quite sticky.
What's the most challenging or memorable hole at Pine Hills?
You absolutely have to prepare for the par-3 14th - it's a beast and our favorite. It demands a precise shot over a deep ravine to a multi-tiered green, often playing longer than its yardage due to the prevailing winds that swirl through the pines. Don't be surprised if you need an extra club or two here.
How much does a round at Pine Hills typically cost, and is it worth it?
Expect green fees to be on the higher side, especially during peak season, but we firmly believe it's a worthwhile splurge for the experience. You're paying for immaculate conditions, a truly unique layout carved into the natural landscape, and a round that feels like a genuine escape. Booking online well ahead of your visit is essential to secure a tee time and potentially find better rates.
Is Pine Hills a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?
While you *can* walk Pine Hills, we strongly recommend taking a cart, especially if you're not used to significant elevation changes. The course features some serious uphill climbs and long distances between greens and tees, which can really tire you out by the back nine. Save your energy for your swing, not the trek.
What's the best way to unwind after a round at Pine Hills?
After tackling those challenging greens, you absolutely need to grab a drink and a bite at the clubhouse's outdoor patio - it offers incredible panoramic views of the 18th hole and the surrounding pine forests. Their local craft beer selection is excellent, and it's the perfect spot to relive your best shots (and forget the worst ones). We always make time for it.
