 Pine Lakes known as
the "Granddaddy";
Robert White, then the 1st PGA President
of America, designed this course in
1927. Elegant and upscale are two words
that instantly come to mind upon
entering the gates of Pine Lakes
International Country Club. The
beautiful 62-room antebellum club was
completed in 1927 and has always been a
must for photographers both professional
and amateur alike. The clubhouse is
surrounded by oaks and towering pines.
There you are met by white-gloved
caddymasters who are also clad in
Scottish attire. Many of these gentlemen
have been in the club's employment for
30-40 years, having begun as caddies
carrying the bags of some of the most
noted golfers in history. A proud
adherence to tradition is evident as
they inform you that the only time you
are permitted to handle your clubs
during your visit is while you're
playing with them. Several assistants to
the caddymasters begin a time-honored
ritual of washing your clubs and shining
your shoes.
Halfway through the course, visitors
encounter the Club Chef. A double take
proves, that yes, he is stirring his
famous homemade clam chowder over an
open fire. This secret recipe was first
concocted by "The Granddaddy's" original
club chef of over 40 years.
On warm, sunny days, you will be treated
to a refreshing mimosa on the course.
When the wind blows and there is a nip
in the air, you can expect hot chocolate
on the first tee.
