About Pine Dunes Resort

Pine Dunes is a Jay and Carter Morrish course carved through century-old pines in the Piney Woods of East Texas, with contoured fairways and rolling ground. The course describes the layout plainly: no trick holes, no forced carries, and water that rarely comes into play. The trees and the shape of the fairways do the defending, so it's a fair test from any tee.

It's a par 72 at 7,117 yards from the Gold tees (74.4 rating, 131 slope), with Blue at 6,537, White at 5,819 and Red at 5,150. It's open year-round, and there's lodging right next to the 18th green that sleeps up to 58, which is why so many groups come for a weekend rather than a round.

The story starts in 1994, when owner Jodi Lutz, who had never played golf, found a 9-hole course with an 88-acre lake on the property. A few years later PGA Tour player David Frost looked the land over and introduced her to Jay Morrish. Jay and his son Carter started work in late 1999, and the full 18 opened in 2001.

It's one of 22 courses Yoink watches in the East Texas area, and the closest alternative is Wildcat Golf Course, about 19 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
