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.

Beautiful course
This is is a beautiful course. The staff are always friendly . The layout is challenging but not overly hard for us mid range handicapers! We play here whenever we can find a deal on Golf now otherwise it can be a bit pricey!
Excellent little course!
Not for big bombers. Tight fairways, and the course makes you think about each shot. Excellent condition and staff!
Danger of hitting houses and people
First time on course and staff was amazing!! Fun course if you hit a straight ball, but anxiety producing if you hook or slice as the fairways have houses right on top of them.
When you don't have houses, you have fairways on either side so care must be taken so you don't hit someone or damage property. I found laying off the power helped at the cost of distance, but I was okay with that. Still, I would play this course again, because it's beautiful, challenging, and the staff is top notch!
Top Notch
One of the best courses in area. Greens, tee boxes, and fairways were all in great shape.
The best
Been coming here my whole life. Amazing place to play.
Carts don’t work well
Greens are very good. Smooth and fast. Tees and fairways are decent. Fairways are thin for a Country Club. Carts are a problem. My cart told me to get back on the cart path when I was in the middle of the fairway on the 150 yard marker. At one point , it stopped me and told me to get on the cart path when I was on the cart path.
Thanks
It was great. I’m actually Rick’s son, he made me do the review. I rather enjoyed it. The one par five starting at the water, number 12 I believe, ate me up cause I hit a fade and I had zero angle so that made me sad but the course is beautiful and a lot of fun. Will be back
Great condition
Course was in great condition. Greens rolled true and were in great condition. Fairways were almost blemish free. Course is narrow so accuracy is key. Highly recommend especially if you are able to get a hot deal
Loved it.
Conditions were amazing . Tees, fairways greens immaculate. I’m planning my return.
Crystal Coast
The course is not long but tight with plenty of hazards. You might want to leave your driver in the car.
