What People Say

In summary

Pistakee Country Club is appreciated by some for its friendly staff, challenging layout, and affordable pricing, making it a favored spot for local golfers and beginners. However, many recent visitors have expressed significant concerns about the deteriorating condition of the course, including poorly maintained greens and fairways, overgrown bunkers, and general neglect. While the clubhouse atmosphere is noted as welcoming, the overall state of the course has led to disappointment among several patrons.

I'm far from an expert, but the fairway and greens were beautiful. It's the perfect time for golf, 6 feet apart is doable with a couple extra carts.

I'm a frequent golfer here. Challenging course, family-owned and operated, essentials pro shop, full bar and Sunday kitchen. My favorite hole is #3, a sweeping r2left dogleg par 4. Includes a drivable par 4 (7), and a mountaintop 190yd par 3 (6). $23 for 9 and a cart (last paid price 5/5/19)

Shame to see a course in this condition… don’t even bring your putter unless you can put in mid shag carpet length greens.

Absolutely horrible. The greens have been neglected to the point that they can't be saved. The fairways are overgrown with chickweed and high prairie grass. The sand bunkers are so overgrown with weeds that your club gets hung up when you swing. They have a hell of a lot if nerve charging people to play. They should shut it down.

Wow. I don't know what is happening here, but i have never played at a course that is in this condition. It was almost funny, except that we paid $18/person. This should be a crime to rip people off.

I am so sad to give this rating to a once nice place. Went there today, after 2nd hole went back to the clubhouse to ask for my money back. I should’ve done it as soon as I saw mushrooms growing on the 1st hole green. At the second hole a third of the green was dead grass and not green at all. I heard that the place has ran into some difficulties with equipment and watering system. Don’t see it lasting very much longer, another icon gone!! :-(

It will do for a local place and quick 9 holes but it's getting run down for sure. Trash cans on course are overflowing and bunkers are rough. Thankfully the greens are watered during this drought though.

It's a hilly nine-hole course, No water hazards , Not too many sand traps. However, it has challenging greens And most of the fairways are tree-lined So you want to keep the ball in the Fairway. Not a good course for lefties If they have a tendency to slice. All the OB Is on the left.

It amazes me that anybody even ever get to see more than one star. The fairways are horrible the tea boxes are horrible the sand traps are growing weeds throughout and the golf carts barely run save your money do not go to this golf course they’re obviously on the Point of closing up horrible horrible horrible it’s not worth five bucks Let alone 52 for a couple
