The fairways are somewhat open. This course was redesigned by George Cobb in 1963. This course was closed until November of 1997 for renovation.

Challenging, Apr 25, 2007

reviewer: DIck Butkiss from Hoover, AL

When I played the course was still a little brown, but it has probably started growing again. Fairways are wide and you can play your ball from almost anywhere. Dont be behind the hole on 1 and 10!

Great Golf In Birmingham, Mar 09, 2004

reviewer: Martin from AL

Great course... challanging from the tips. Clearly one of the best "walk-able" courses in the Birmingham Area. Greens on 1, 10 and 15 can make or break your game.

Pines Municipal Golf Course, The
"Tough for it's size"
I'm origianally from Toccoa and have played this golf course many many times. While only a 9 hole course, it is worth the money to play it. It is far less expensive than most golf corses and offers real challenges for even experienced golfers. The terrain is extremely hilly and almost every hole has an extreme change in elavation. The green's are extremely small and very very fast. During the summer the fairways and greens are fairly well manicured although winter play tends to be a little harder on some holes due to a harder fairways from less moisture. Fairways are extemely tight with hundreds of opportunities to lose balls in pine forests and a courseside lake on the last two holes. Overall, not an allstar course but for a quick, challenging, and inexpensive round well worth the time.

Sandpiper Golf & Country Club
"A nice short course"
I have played this golf course for the last 10 years, 2 to 5 times each year at various time, usually in the winter. Sandpiper is a short course with plenty of par 3's and short par 4's. The layout makes for a slow round on the front side on a busy day. It usually opens up on the back, which is the better 9 holes. Greens are in good condition year round. Course gets more play in the winter when the ajoining retirement community is fully occupied. Long hitters have no advantage as any long drive (250 or more) puts you too close to the greens. Use irons and 4 woods off most of the tees. Any drive 200 yards down the middle is great for this course. Some holes feel too close to the homes. Can be a real challenge when windy.

Oak Leaf Country Club
"lots of trouble"
A very challenging yet, fun to play course. Offers a variety of different holes and green layouts. A great day of golf for the price. Clubhouse is very nice too, with a very pleasant staff!
