Comments: Had a chance to play a couple rounds at The Pines on a vacation up north to the Brainerd lakes area. The course has 3 separate nine hole courses: Marsh, Lakes, & Woods. We played Woods & Marsh the first round, and Lakes & Woods the second round. It is a very beautiful and well-kept course located on Grand View Lodge resort. Staff is friendly, cart & unlimited range balls come with the price of the round (although the driving range was closed when we played on July 2nd for a fireworks display that night). The electric carts are very nice, including ball washer, club washer, and divot seed. Most importantly, the GPS on the cart is very accurate and is a great help to first time players of the course. The course can be difficult, but if you are relatively accurate it is quite playable. It doesn't force you to make any hero shots, and course management can be key. Basically every hole is cut out of a forest, so it's a very serene setting. This also makes it a problem for tee shots that are not fairly straight. Accuracy off the tee is the biggest key. Plenty of sand bunkers, and a fair amount of water that is usually avoidable with a safe shot. The greens are very fast, but roll true. The first round we played was very windy, and some little tree twigs and whatnot had fallen on some of the greens, but I'm sure they were all cleaned up by the next day. If you're in the area, you should treat yourself to a round at The Pines. Weekend mornings are pretty expensive, but you can get a nice deal if you play twilight, which starts fairly early. You'll have a great time!
