Crystal Coast Country Club
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.

An Unexpected Pleasure!
This is a very nice course. If you come and expect a typical beach course - lots of dunes and scrub grass - you might be surprised. While there are certainly plenty of holes along the bay that remind you the ocean is near, there are plenty of holes in tall trees with pine straw on the ground. It was a great mixture of surf and piney woods!
Nice little track
Short but challenging, especially on a windy day. Tight fairways, small landing zones requiring accurate tee-shots and approaches.
review
seems strange they held up starting to complete a foursome and on the second hole we let a single play through. the carts cut off in the parking lot if you travel at full throttle, they should warn you about that we went back to get another cart.
Hello and thank you for your feedback. We have a set speed limit in the parking lot for safety reasons. Please reach out to me directly at danny@crystalcoastcc.com to discuss further. We hope to see you back out soon enjoying all of the improvements. Thank you for your support!
Since 1970........
.....when this course had sandy fairways (including sand spurs) this course has gotten better. I really enjoyed my recent outing. The course is in immaculate condition! PLAY IT and see for yourself.
Thank you for your recent feedback! We are very glad that you enjoyed all of the improvements at Crystal Coast Country Club. We hope to see back soon for many more rounds!
Course poorly marked. Hard to find your way around
The golf course renovation is now complete and we are back open to the public after 12:00. Please come back out and try the new and improved Crystal Coast Country Club. We hope we can turn your rating into 5 stars this time! Thank you!
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry you didn't have a positive experience with us. We hope to improve in the future, so hopefully your next experience is 5 stars.
Great layout.
I think it would have been a lot nicer,if not affected by the hurricane.
Well worth it
Played this course beginning of November and while there was some residual damage to the fairways from the hurricane it was minimal at most and the greens with one exception were in excellent shape.
The staff was friendly and helpful and at $27.00 per person it was an absolute deal. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.
Terrible course
This course was so need of repair that it needs to be shut down for the season. There were several holes that could not be played . Some of the holes that were part of the play the day I went were not much better than the ones under repair . There were no yardage markers on cart paths and most of the fairways were not really marked . The staff was nice . I just wish that I knew thie course conditions when I booked . I would have played another course in the area . I would not play this course again if it was free.
Course Under Repair
They only have 9 holes open so they told me to just play them twice for 18, they even have a makeshift scorecard for the open holes. It was 5 on the front and 4 on the back. Lots of driving between holes on their temporary course. The other holes didn’t look to be opening any time soon. As for the holes that were playable, slightly better than average conditions at best. And there is no putting green and the driving range is 100 yards long. Until this place has 18 holes again, it is not worth your time. Several better choices in the area.
Boycott this Coarse
The coarse only has 9 of its 18 holes open 5 on one side and 4 on the other. I was told in order to play 18 I would have to play the same holes twice doesn't work for me. Was very disappointed and decided to go to another coarse in the area and play. Can not get a refund since it was a Hot Deal offered by Golf Now. I am a local in this area and when this coarse recovers in the late fall it will be great to play but as far as my current experience it was a Negative this coarse in its current state of repair should not even be offered to play on this web site.
Learn to spell course.
Half the course under construction and other half looked like it had never seen a drop of water ... they made us play the same 9 holes twice because that was all that was open
Needs Some Loving
The greens were in good shape. The fairways were bad... very bad. They were bare in a lot of spots. The trees could use trimming and the overall course could use a cleanup.
Mediocre at best.
Average course at best.
Got talked into playing this course again and it will be the last. Greens are.....just funky! Views are great, but course is not worth the high fee. Many other courses near by cheaper and much better.
Tight!!
The course was in the best shape I can ever remember. Usually play it a couple of times each year when visiting the beach. The fairways are great and the greens are near perfect. It is a course you need to think on each tee shot. Leave the driver in the bag on the short par 4's, the tight ones.
Thank you for your recent feedback. We hope that you will have a 5 star review on your next visit. Please email me personally at danny@crystalcoastcc.com to let us know what we can do to make your next visit a 5 star experience! We look forward to seeing you back at the course soon!
