About
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.

Great Course
Played Crystal Coast for the first time with my brother-in-law and really enjoyed it. The course is fairly short, but challenging (multiple water holes). It was in great condition as well. The layout can be confusing to those unfamiliar with the course and the cart GPS systems are not great at showing the hole details, but minor inconveniences. Highly recommended.
Strict dress code enforced with my 15 yr old daughter
Very strict with dress code. We are on vacation and my 15 yr old daughter forgot to pack her collar shirt for golf. When we checked in they said nothing. It wasn’t until we were on their 90 yard “driving range” warming up that the starter said she has to have a collared shirt. Either get one or buy one. So I would not categorize this course as kid friendly or vacation friendly. Since we already paid we bought one for $80. That’s one way to get more money out of us. The starter said the owner wanted to keep the place nice since they have had to reseed the course and fix it up a lot recently. It’s their policy and they have every right to enforce it. But before we played there I had planned to play the next day if the course was nice but decided it’s better we help them keep their course “nice” and just not play it ever again including our future vacation to the isle. But I doubt they care.
Had a blast!
Played here on Memorial Day with the boys! Beautiful course as always and a ton of fun!
Great experience
The course conditions were great and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
Fun course on the island
Fun course that was in great shape early in the season. Great golf cart technology and definitely recommend for folks visiting Emerald Isle, Pine Knoll Shores, or Atlantic Beach.
Great gem on Bogiue Banks
Not long course but but you are playing golf on an island! Sand and salt air. Course is in great shape and they make every effort to keep it that way. A cooperation from nature in the form of rain wouldn't hurt.
Great course - and staff!
First time playing; definitely won’t be last. Top-notch on all levels. From meeting my car with a cart before I could pop the hatch, to working us in around a WEDDING, to providing our last-minute joiner with premium loaners, to the great food and drinks at the clubhouse ... CCCC hit it on all cylinders during our visit this past weekend. Highly recommend.
A beautiful course with a lot of water
The course is in excellent condition and the greens are lighting fast. I’d like to play it again and I know I’d do better than my 87. It does have a few holes with some unexpected water.
Book it
Great golf course!! Staff friendly and course is in great shape!!
Love this course!
Absolutely beautiful! Challenging for all levels but not crazy - very fair. Course was in great shape. Will definitely play here again when in the area again. Not to be missed!
Better than ever
I never do reviews but the condition of this course has improved so much over the last three years when they got a new owner that I have to say something.
It’s on the island so that’s a huge plus to avoid travel time in traffic.
The people that work there have always been nice but now they seem extra nice since the amenities they offer reflect it.
When you look at the card and see it short that does not reflect the wind and when you tell your friends what score you shot you’re probably not going to let them know it was only a par 70.
I’m looking forward to the next time I’m back in the area to play my next round.
