Pinewood Golf Club

About Pinewood Golf Club

This public track in Slidell punches above its weight class, delivering solid golf in a surprisingly well-maintained package that locals have quietly embraced. The layout winds through mature Louisiana pine and hardwood forest, creating natural corridors that give each hole a distinct character without the manufactured feel of many modern designs. What strikes you immediately is how the course uses the natural topography, subtle elevation changes and strategically placed trees force you to think your way around rather than simply bombing drives down wide fairways. The conditioning consistently exceeds expectations for a municipal-style operation, with greens that hold approach shots and fairways that give you a decent lie most of the time. At 4.2 stars from 85 Google reviews, it's clearly resonating with the weekend warrior crowd who appreciate honest golf without the pretense. Walking is encouraged here, which tells you everything about the thoughtful routing and manageable distances between holes. For the money, you'd be hard-pressed to find better value golf on the Northshore. This is the kind of unpretentious track where you can work on your game without breaking the bank or dealing with marshal pressure every few holes.
