I would not be a member here if I did not like the layout. I have been playing Pine Oaks for about three years now and have seen the course go through a series of ups and downs. When things are going well, and the weather and maintenance crews are in perfect alignment, this course is VERY NEAR the best in town.
The fairways today were perfect and most of the greens were in good shape, but they are having a few issues. As for the many changes that have been made lately, I think it has made a couple holes more difficult and a couple easier. I wonder if those that set the course rating and slope were to come back, if it would go up or down since that last time it was done.
Changes made to #4 mean that any shot to the left is big trouble. #5 has always been a very hard hole, in my opinion. The entire length of the fairway leans to the left and feeds into a wooded sloped area. However, there are trees right, and you have to hit a draw to get to the middle of the fairway; draw + left-sloping fairway = tough hole. #12 was in horrible shape in the Spring, but they are getting it back (probably about 80% now). #15 was made tougher when they put a drainage stream about 210 out from the white tees, so you either have to lay up or hit one exactly 220-240 to leave yourself a good second into the green.
The staff here is top notch and for the money, I still think Pine Oaks can not be beat.
Would travel:
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
