Nice!
Staff welcoming and helpful from bag drop to checkin to starter. Course conditions very good. Greens super fast and true. Distances were off for me. I prefer senior tees 5600-5800 yards. I played 6200 yards, which were a bit long for me. The next shorter tees at 5400 yards would have been too short.

Excellent track in New Bern
I played this course on the way back from a work trip, and it’s a hidden gem. Greens were very good, nice layout with good variety of holes, and great practice facilities. The par 3’a stand out and there’s lots of water. Would definitely play again.
