With that kind of length, we're talking plenty of doglegs, a couple of unreachable par 5s, long irons into several par 4s, and one super 226-yard par 3 over sand, sand, sand. That said, even most mid-level players should be able to take on Pine Barrens from the proper set of forward tees. From the middle tees, it plays 6,340 yards to a 70.6 rating and 124 slope. That should be manageable. From the forward tees, the course can play as short as 5,225 yards.
Several holes stand out.
No. 7 is only 302 yards from the championship tees, but it's a bogey waiting to happen. If the pin is tucked close to the front, more than a few suckers will dump it in the ditch trying to make birdie. Even with a big tee shot at the 18th, you're looking at 300 yards to get home. Pine Barrens is still a work in progress. An impressive-looking clubhouse is under construction, but it won't be completed until mid to late summer.
