Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club - Practice Loop

I played this course via a CGA lottery drawing so my price is probably out of the realm of expectation for most, (probably looking at 2-2.5x that).

Absolutely loved this course. The top tracer rigs in every bay on the range is probably the swankiest touch I've seen anywhere, perks of hosting the ladies US Open i suppose, but I love it!

The course is a beauty, nearly every hole is picturesque. I didn't play great, the green complexes will punish you if your touch is lacking.

Conditions were amazing, 65 degrees in late february, the rough hadn't greened up yet but it played wonderfully. 5 of out 5, would recommend, will be back.

Even with my fortunate price, it is certainly on par with what you'd expect for a USGA major venue, worth the extra coin in my opinion just for the range amenities, go early and have some fun!
