Much Improved
I've played Quail Ridge fairly often over the years just for the low price, decent greens and the course layout. I always overlooked the less than ideal fairway conditions because of that low price.
Now, however, the course is in better shape than I've seen it in years. Grass everywhere, and it's kept mowed nicely. No summer burn areas on the greens. Bunkers are worked on a regular basis.
Overall, it's the best deal around and you don't have to spend all day to get around it, the players there move pretty fast. I have walked 18 there many times in 3 hours.
Is it in Country club condition? No. But for what it is, it's pretty good these days.
I'd say come check it out and you'll change your opinion on Quail Ridge.
Quail Ridge experience
Course conditions were varied from fair on some holes to poor on others. No sand provided for divots. No water in coolers on course. Ball washers were empty. Greens were fairly chewed up. Tee boxes were hard and varied in grass height. Price for 18 holes was a bargain and there were very few people on the course even on a nice weather Saturday morning. Course has potential to be beautiful and challenging but maintenance is poor.
Best value for your money.
A very friendly staff welcomed us to the facility. There was no waiting to begin our round. The course shows its age, but it was in exceptional shape considering the recent weather that it has experienced this year. The carts are new and well maintained. The grill was not open the day we played, and no water coolers are available on the course, but personal coolers are welcome to supply you with your favorite beverages. I would highly recommend playing the course to anyone that is looking for an enjoyable and inexpensive golfing experience.
Getting better
The course looks better as the spring progresses and soon hopefully the front will be as good as the back.Played on Saturday the last couple times and the pace was a bit pedestrian. Other than that we got clear at the turn and enjoyed ourselves.
Fun course. Good greens.
Good challenge from the back tees. Greens were in good shape. Rolled smooth and not too fast, not too slow. Bunkers were also well groomed and plenty of sand. Bermuda was still dormant when we played but not many bare spots encountered. Lots of poa annua and rye clumps in the fairways and rough that should be dying out as the heat comes in the next month or so. Fun layout with an excellent pace of play. Will be back.
This course... Was open
Nothing fancy, was my first time here. Probably won't be back.
Course in very poor condition
Golf Now course synopsis states " Lush Fairways" & "Immaculate Greens"......... COMPLETELY WRONG & MISLEADING!!!
This, by all means should be editied. The fairways were more like cow pastures than "lush". and the greans had frequent dead patches. The cart paths (what there were of them) were in horrible repair.
love it
This course is fun and a little challenging. Beautiful in the summer. Fairways and greens always in great condition.
A Fine Course; Once
I am an Ellis Maples fan. I have played many courses designed by him. The golf course known as Quail Ridge, designed by Ellis, lies in the out most confines of "the Sandhills area" of North Carolina; a world renown local for great golf. Quail Ridge follows a lay of land that reflects the merge between the Piedmont and coastal plans areas of the state. Elevations can be great or small and change quite quickly, even from one hole to another in the same nine and, at times, during the same hole. This is a beautiful piece of property; it is a shame the owners (new ones since 2004) have allowed it to deteriorate to the point I found it today. As I played today I had the opportunity to watch the maintenance crews at work. Most of their equipment was decades old, yet each and every worker knew how to allow players proceed uninterrupted while maintaining their assigned duties. What a fine group of guys!. As for course conditions they were, let's say, recovering. The greens were recently punched and 'connect the dots' was the putt alignment strategy for the day. Tee boxes for the most part were nice; however, the "fairways" are in need of attention. The bunkers showed very little signs of use at all but the apron around them had not been trimmed for some weeks, at least on the front nine. (I found it more difficult to wade through the grass to the bunker than to hit a shot out of same.) As I was a guest of a paying partner, I had no contact with the clubhouse person behind the check in desk. (I personally had no contact with any club employee so I have nothing to say regarding staff; aside from the greens crew.) There are many areas of this facility in dire need of attention from a proper management company. The course itself is in great need of love and care. This is a course which has great potential, however, I cannot recommend the course in its present condition. I would like to see more from such a great piece of property with this fine course of Ellis Maples design.
Best back 9 for the money$$$
My experience at Quail Ridge was two parts. A worn out front nine and one of the best back nine holes I have ever played. The pace of play was somewhat slow however, the others players were courteous enough to let me play through. Just wish the front was in better condition.
An enjoyable day
Played with 3 other friends and had a great time. Weather was overcast and very humid. Staff was very friendly and engaged us in conversation. Course condition was 3 out of 5. We will def play again!
Best shape of the season.
Recent rains have helped the fairways become much better than they have all year. Golf now makes this a good value for the money. I often bring grand kids to play with me and the pace of works well for us.
very nice staff
Great place to play in the after noon after work, not to busy
Tough to play..
This has to potential to be a pretty decent course, but the fairways make it really hard to have good contact and consistent strokes.
The sand traps are pretty nice and placed well enough to require some tough shots to the pin.
$30 on GolfNow was too much; I wouldn't go back.
If you need a quick cheep round
The course is in bad shape. A lot of times you're hitting off dirt or crab grass. No one was out so I got around quick but the cart paths are rough. I would only go here as a last resort. A side note, however, the staff are great personable people.
Good Value
Have played this course numerous times over the past 17 years. Course condition, especially the cart paths, was average. Greens were in decent shape despite being aerated in the last two weeks and fairways were OK (much better than last time I played here). If you're looking for pristine and challenging course, this is not the one. But for $15 a round, it was a great value.
Course Needs Repair
Very friendly people working there. Potential for a nice course but maintenance is badly needed. Doubt that it's an easy fix.
horrible
To find out that the front was closed when we arrived, not good. To not really care that the front is closed cause the course is so bad, worse. Will not ever play this place again and would recommend that it be removed from the golf now rotation
