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.

Fun Course

This club has made some improvements since I last played it about 10 years ago. The greens are in excellent condition, especially for this time of year. And they’re quick.

The layout is interesting and quite tricky, especially from the tee, where you sometimes need to fit it into fairways, either around or over trees. And the wind is a big factor, as it blows all the time.

I really enjoyed playing here. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend you play this course if you are in the area.

Nice course, getting even better

A great choice for anyone staying on the island, and I'd place it a full tier above the nearby off-island courses that cost about the same. Staff are super friendly and helpful. We went on a very cold and windy day and still really enjoyed the round. The back 9 was especially windy since it's more exposed to the soundside. There were a few maintenance projects in the way on a couple of holes (new cart paths, bridge/retention wall repairs), but that's understandable for the off-season and means they're still improving the already nice course.
