Pine Tree Golf Course
The golf course at Pine Tree Golf Club is a classic parkland-style, 18-hole private layout designed originally by noted architect Louis Sibbett “Dick” Wilson. It plays to a par 72 and measures approximately 7,172 yards from the longest tees. The course rating is about 75.3 with a slope around 140, reflecting its serious challenge. Firm fairways and elevated, well-bunkered greens define the conditioning and strategy. The grass surfaces include Celebration Bermudagrass on tees/fairways and 419 Bermuda in roughs and surrounds to hold up in South Florida’s climate.
Strategic design features include over 120 bunkers, many deep-faced and angled into approach corridors, and multiple holes with significant water in play. Plenty of lakes and canals weave through the routing and engage approaches throughout the round. Signature holes include the devilish par-3 #13 with a narrow angled green fortress-like surrounded by bunkers, and the mammoth par-5 #16 at around 666 yards from the back tees. Both holes exemplify the elevation, wind exposure, and meticulous shaping characteristic of Wilson’s best work. Even experienced golfers regard Pine Tree’s finishing stretch as one of its most memorable sequences.
