Loblolly Pines Golf Course Club Review

The Loblolly Pines golf club features one of Floridas best courses, offering its visitors deep bunkers, fast greens and quite a few surprising holes, together with unexpected changes in topography which are a rare occurrence in a coastal setting. Judging from these features, it comes as a no-brainer that the Loblolly Pines golf course was designed by architects Pete and P.B. Dye in order to challenge golf players of all skill levels. Sitting on a beautiful piece of real estate in Hobe Sound, Florida, the golf course at Loblolly Pines has a medium length layout and it plays relatively long from its back tees. Truth be told, this golf course is quite difficult and it will give even the best golfers out there a run for their money sort to speak, because theres absolutely nothing mediocre about the Loblolly Piness golf course.

The club opened back in 1988 and its one of the best works (some even say a masterpiece) of Pete Dye, bristling with style. The golf course sits near a wildlife refugee on the southern coast of Florida, in Hobe Sound and its a private facility, available just for its members and their guests. The Loblolly Piness golf course features 6865 yards of golf from its longest tees for a 72 par and has a course rating of 73,2 and a slope rating of 144 on Bermuda grass. Some say that the Loblolly Pines golf course is the best in the state, and after playing it for a while, I feel inclined to agree with that statement. Playing here for the first time, youll be amazed by the ubiquitous elevation changes and the impeccable conditioning, also by its deep sand-bunkers which were incorporated into the design. The Loblolly Piness golf course was rated as 14th best in Florida in 1995/1996 and 16th in 1997/1998, but these rankings are hardly doing it justice.
