Quail Ridge consistently impresses with lush, well-maintained fairways and firm, fast greens that stand out among Pinehurst-area courses. Exceptionally friendly staff and a well-regarded on-site grill round out a course that keeps golfers returning.

Quail Ridge great layout

Solid layout with excellent greens and overseeded fairways. Extremely slow pace of play on both nines. No ranger to monitor play and get groups to speed up where needed.

Fairways excellent

Fairways were fantastic! Green, great shape & such a surprise this time of year. Greens were pretty good & only drawbacks for us were that several holes didn’t have the women’s tee boxes ready & cart path was rough & a little disappointing considering the course. We hit off fairway which was nice but shortened the holes. Will definitely be back!

Quail Ridge great layout

Excellent layout and greens were smooth, fairways overseeded but rough areas soggy and wet in spots - lots of poor drainage. Pace of play was slow oin front nine but speeded up some on back nine. Overall well worth the price of $25.
