Pine Lakes Golf Club

Pine Lakes Golf Club is the centerpiece of The Grand Club complex in Palm Coast, an Arnold Palmer & Ed Seay collaboration originally built in 1980 and substantially redesigned by Palmer's firm in 2007. The 7,100-yard par-72 layout plays to a 73.5 rating and 126 slope, threading through tree-lined rolling fairways that bring water into play on ten of the eighteen holes. Jones Dwarf Grass greens paired with 419 Bermuda fairways give it that classic central-Florida presentation. The 2007 reimagining focused on the green complexes, which locals consider among Palmer's most thoughtful, subtle contours and firm surrounds that reward the shot-makers Palmer always designed for. Pine Lakes is the premier test of The Grand Club's trio (Pine, Cypress, Matanzas Woods) and draws snowbird traffic from the Daytona-to-St. Augustine corridor all winter. The setting is quintessentially Palm Coast: rolling sandy terrain, pines, shimmering lakes, and the kind of year-round playable weather that justifies the quick drive from Jacksonville or Orlando.
