Crystal Coast Country Club

First time playing but wanted to play it for a couple of years. Got a “hot deal” midday tee time and off I went. The course is shorter (just over 6,000 yds) and tight. Made for a challenge to plan your shots not just bomb and wedge. The staff was super courteous, and offered some good local knowledge. The starter gave some pointers on the fairways and greens. Speaking of greens, they may be a bit smaller but have some serious undulating surfaces making for thinking thru putts. Fairways are well manicured and the bunkers have plenty of good sand (great for splashing out). The course offers great views of Bogue Sound when starting the back nine. Fifteen is a neat island green style par three…love it. Will play it again!

First time playing (but not my last). I had heard about the “tightness” of the course and the requirement to think about shot placement so to say I was nervous was a slight understatement. The staff meets you with your cart, gives great direction on what is expected. The starter was super helpful with some “local knowledge” and advised the distances on the first tee (a delightful short par three to set you at ease). The course was in excellent shape and the greens rolled true. A number of holes were cart path only (the heavy rains in the area forced this - no problem). The front nine offers its fair share of water to carry while the back nine offers some great views of Bogue Sound (10 and 11 run parallel to the sound). 14 holds a neat hazard near the green and 15 is a neat par 3 reminiscent of all those island par 3’s. In the end I had a blast on this par 70 with an 80 (net par for me). It’s worth the cost especially when you catch a “hot deal”….will definitely play again.

Course looked decent. There were a couple holes where I got lost and managed to find my way but it would have been nice to have directional markers to show the next hole location. I had an older couple ahead of me who didn’t seem interested in letting me play through so I spent the front nine waiting quite a bit. Overall it wasn’t a bad place

Course was closed due to a topical storm that hit 16Sep202. Surprised golfpass allowed me to book.

I had a 12oclock tee time while on vacation on the Isle and arrived early to meet my group and get some putting and chipping practice in. They have great staff in both the pro shop for check in as well as a team member assisting with golf carts. Great friendly service.

The course itself was beautiful if a little tight in terms of fairways bordering others but very manageable.

The only thing I would recommend for first timers like myself would be to ensure you are going the right way using the cart paths. There were a few holes where you could miss the next tee box. Hole 3 comes to.mind first. It probably wouldn't be remiss that the club puts directional arrows on the tee box for I believe hole 5 or 6, there are 2 fairways in front of you with one being hole 17 if I'm not mistaken.

Regardless I would recommend this course to others with no hesitation. Very good round of golf gaurented.

Great experience!if you’re in the area, play here!!!

I stunk it up today but was paired with another single and he was very cool and helpful. The course is beautiful and challenging, well maintained. I would play here again. Great staff, too!

In from out of town and super happy to have found and played this gem. The course is in excellent shape, staff is super friendly, and it was wide open on a Tuesday afternoon. Would definitely play again next time I’m in town

Very pretty course, nicely taken care of and in good shape. Greens rolled well.

I have played this course only 3 times but every time I’ve been to the course it’s been a terrific experience. Our round was with good pace, the staff very friendly, the course was in great shape, my only complaint is the cart girl made her last run at 1:00pm. I would appreciate another round once more during the round!!
