Pine View Golf Course Review
Ypsilanti, Michigan Overall Grade: A Value: B+ ($17 - $45, depending upon time and day of the week) Walkability: A Course Conditions: A Course Design: B (good, but not inspired) Practice Facility: A Food: B - nothing fancy. Teacher’s Comments: A fair, friendly course with many extras. Every town should have a golf course like Pine View. With a 6,500 yard 18-hole track, a 9 hole “executive” (Par 3) course, full-sized grass tee driving range, practice greens, a well-stocked pro shop, and lots of men’s and women’s leagues and family friendly activities, you could easily make this your golfing home. Pine View’s 18-hole course offers a fair and fun golfing experience for a wide range of skill levels. From the white tees (6262 yards), the bogey golfer can reach every green in regulation. The blues offer moderately more challenge at 6,526 yards. The red tees are well-placed, permitting the shorter hitters a good golfing experience. That’s not to say that the course is easy. The large greens are tricky and well defended. Several holes are defended by truly deceptive distances. And on the back nine, the tree lined fairways place a premium on accuracy. The whites play to a 69.610, while the blues are a 71.3/124. Still, a golfer who plays smart is going to score well.
