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.

Pace of play and overpriced
Pace of play was slow and embarrassing. I I got behind members at the turn and they were playing a 5some and wouldn't let me a single play through and they were a hole behind the next group. Priced too high for the quality of the course, $35 max not $60 mainly location cost. I recommend North river for the same price. Higher quality corse
Nice course
Nice course. Cost is a little high for course but not bad for being at the beach. A fun challenging course for the weekend golfer.
Last min round
This was a last min decision to play and it was a great deal at a great time to be able to play. It was my first time and it was a nice course. Helps to play with someone who has played there. Lots of unknowns and needed a yardage guide.
Tough course
Tough course that seems to play longer than the 6000 yards. I was t forced to hit a lot of irons and hybrids off the tee because of all the water and tree lined fairways. The greens were also sneaky fast but overall course was in good shape.
With Friends
This is a beautiful course with beautiful views over the sound and the course is in perfect condition.
It is a short course yet narrow and requires straight shots
Tight fairways
Tight fairways. Challenging but fun. I would play here again.
A fair course
While a short course,as expected, I was a bit disappointed with the overall layout. It went from easy to difficult quickly and then back. Tough to get a rhythm going. Course conditions are on the mend considering the weather NC has had. Staff seemed a bit grumpy to me but not unreasonable.
Fun but challenging round at a very reasonable price
This is a very fun course to play. Water comes into play on 9 of the 18-holes. It's a very tight course, so many of the fairways are narrow & challenging. Trees can be a challenge as well. Some of the par-4's are short, but you'll need to use some strategy to navigate the doglegs, water, and trees. From a price perspective, this course is less expensive than others in the Emerald Isle area. It's also a much prettier view because some of the holes run along side The Inter-Coastal Waterway. This also provides a little more breeze, while playing, which was a welcomed comfort to cool me down. I highly recommend this course.
Dkswiley
The layout is nice. Good view. Greens are consistent but very very slow.also there is no water on the course other than the clubhouse.
Very scenic, greens and tee boxes in great shape
only negative is the course hole by hole details. First time playing the course, and only details for each hole is the scorecard layout, which is not sufficient enough.
Beautiful short course.
Even though there were rough spots they were clearly marked for repair.
Keep it straight
This course was very fun to play. 3 players in our party and we all enjoyed it. Great scenery on the back 9 playing beside the sound. Had some challenging holes and a little tight in some areas. I would definitely come back to this course.
Nice short course
Played very early in the morning. Had to wait on sprinkler system on several holes. Played a couple of weeks earlier on this course and had booked tee time online. There was no way of knowing they had a members tournament going on at the same time. Every hole was in use. Was redirected to different holes on several occasions. The 18 hole round lasted about 1 1/2 hours longer than it should have. Other than that its a nice short course, well maintained. Still had a decent day.
Good hard greens
Good pitching wedge practice area, free balls. I'ed come back
The Country Club of the Crystal Coast
The course is tightly packed into a wooded residential area. No major hazards to overcome. I enjoyed playing this course and look forward to playing here again.
Challenge
Challenges you play and your vocabulary. Lots of fun if you are accurate, length is less of an issue. Enjoyed the day and the course!
Nice course in nice location
Course is fairly short, but still entertaining. While it was dormant-grassed brown, except for spray-colored greens, it was still very playable in mid-February. There were very few bad spots, bunkers were fine, more than a few water hazards, and a couple of very scenic holes along the sound near the large clubhouse. Not sure of the food-service hours in the off-season, but it seems that it is upscale, and a very nice place for dinner. Being breezy and at sea-level, you must be careful in spots---don't let the lack of yardage fool you.
Great Course
Great course. Awesome staff. Awesome weather. Very enjoyable round. It was VERY slow (being a tourist town in October) so they let us play a 6-some. Had to let two groups go thru but was a lot of fun!
Great Course
Beautiful course, enjoyed the round and will definitely play it again.
Great views - great course
I was pleasantly surprised to fine this course in great shape. I have not play CC for 4 years and found the upgrades very rewarding.
