About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6004 yards
Slope 130
Rating 70.4

The Crystal Coast Country Club sits along the Bogue Sound, sprawling across sand dunes and weaving through the Maritime Forest. The club boasts the only golf course on the 21-mile island of Pine Knolls Shores. At just over 6,000 yards from the back tees, the course doesn't have the length that some other championship layouts have but there are still plenty of challenges in store. In addition to bunkers that are strategically placed along the small greens and narrow fairways, water comes into play on 13 holes. Though there are some tight spots that can be tough to navigate, the golf course is player friendly enough for all skill levels to enjoy. Regardless of ability, you'll be able to enjoy beautiful scenery, especially on the back nine where you'll have the best views of the Sound.

Scenic Course

The Golf Course had an excellent views with many scenic holes. It was in very good condition, other than a few of the tee boxes. I enjoyed playing this course and will again someday.

Great beach course!

This course was unbelievable. It is a short, but challenging and tight course. The greens, fairways, and tee boxes were all in great shape. It was my first time playing it, and I will definitely be back next year. I 100% recommend playing this course!

Greens are disappointing

Have played this course many times throughout the years and always enjoyed it. Tees and fairways are all in great shape. Greens are struggling to recover from core aeration. Very slow and bumpy. I played with a 5PM twilight rate of $69, so didn’t hit them with low star rating. Not worth the $120 rack rate with current green conditions. I hope the greens recover soon.
