Good course great rate.

A quiet day and exceptionally hot. That didn't stop us from enjoying what was an excellent experience from registration to the end of the round.

Course was in great condition and the tees and greens were also in great condition.

Thank you for a wonderful day out. We will be back when we return to the Sandhills.

Great Price, fantastic layout, and amazing condition

Beyond impressed with everything. Gentlemen at the front desk asked if we have ever played before. We made him aware that we had never played the course. He made us aware where the putting green, driving range, and the first tee was located. He stated the course was in “great condition” and he was wrong. Tee boxes were perfect, fairways we professionally mowed and cared for, and the greens we tough but fair. I can’t wait to go back and play.

Hidden Gem!!

Being from Greensboro and a frequent visitor to the Sandhills Region I had seen the sign many time but just never thought about playing at Quail Ridge. Well now all that has changed! Great Lay-out to challenge any golfer, great challenging green complexes and plenty of elevation changes. Our group could not say enough about it!!! Will be in the traveling rotation that’s for sure..

Quail Ridge a Gem

My brother and I played this course for the first time. What a gem! Fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Well worth the money. Staff in golf shop were very friendly. Golf course was very busy but pace of play was perfect. Challenging yet forgiving fairways. Will definitely be back! Every golfer should add this course to their list to play if you have not played Quail Ridge before.
