Benvenue Country Club

A great course that if you hit it above the hole all day you will struggle

Unbelievable course, definitely in my top 10. It’s all right in front of you, but brutally difficult. Greens are the toughest I’ve played. Can’t wait to play it again!

Benvenue CC is a classic Donald Ross golf course located in eastern North Carolina. The course is lined with tall pines and massive 100 year old oak trees. The course is challenging, but fair with very sloped greens that are consistently some of the best greens in the state. Walking this course is very easy and most rounds can be completed in well under 4 hours. The Pro Shop and outside staff are friendly and attentive and the Pro Shop is always well stocked with the finest logoed clothing to commemorate your round.There is also a working hand water pump on the course that celebrates a course that was built in the early 1900s.

Private club but a few tee times available for non-residents as a "guest of the pro," if you call ahead. Uncrowded with classic compact layout makes course easy to play in four hours or less. Champions Bermuda greens are always in superb condition - firm, quick and true. Don't let scorecard fool you, the course will challenge your game with multiple tees matched to age and ability. Reminiscent of Pinehurst courses, it has hosted US Amateur qualifiers and state amateur tourneys in recent years.
