Solidly good!

Course is always oversewed and green; plenty of grass in all the right places. The layout is unspectacular but right now, the value is tough to beat. Good conditions and while still expensive, one of the more fairly priced rounds in the area.

Ehh

Not a great value for the price. Course is ok, but pace wasn’t great and the carts wanted to shut off due to fencing when we were still on the cart path.

Very pretty, greens are great

Course was wetter than expected, some ponding in bunkers and soft spots here and there. Little poa in the greens but firm and quick and roll true. Every lie in the fairway was a good one. I felt the rates were on the high side but I get it, got a nice price on the GN app but 80$/per rack rate on Sunday afternoon is a turn off. I paid 96 total for a twosome 18 riding and was satisfied, would gladly give it again to play here.

Gem of the Sandhills

Great conditions on a great lay out. Best part is that it is always that way. Family owned and run.

Bright green

I always enjoy Quail Ridge. The staff is very friendly. Somehow while all other courses are dormant and colorless, Quail is green and lush. The Fairways are a nice break from all of the tight lies in Pinehurst. Great course. Lots of fun and the Grill is sneaky good.

good condition!!

I played cheaply by receiving a discount coupon from the Golf Now app. The course condition was very good for 18 holes, but the greens were downhill, making putting difficult. Even if you ride a golf cart, you have to get far away from the tee box and the green for the warning sound to not come on, which is very inconvenient.

Well maintained course

The course is well maintained. All fairways are green in February. Green is tight and fast. Many people over the weekend. Won’t finish if tee time is after 2 PM.

Pace of Play!!

Course has nice layout and in good shape but the pace of play was awful. Stacked up all the way around and the 2some we played with said that is often the case so I will not be back

One of the best values I have had this year

The fairways and greens were in great condition for the time of year. They keep the greens rolling fast for sure and it was truly a challenge at times. Would recommend for anyone who would like to play out in the Sanford area for a good price! Can’t wait to play there again when it warms up!
