Longleaf Golf & Family Club

I play often. Not well but often. I've played easier courses. I've played harder courses. You won't find friendlier staff. I'm hoping no one reads this review as I'd like to keep this course a secret. I've played the course several times now and not enough of an expert or wordsmith to tell you why but I love this course. Also helps that we played early the day after Thanksgiving, had beautiful weather and the course to ourselves. Made for a great weekend in Pinehurst.

A lot of construction going on especially on back 9 which detracts from play. Seems they are going head on into encouraging Kids to play.
First 9 condition not as good as previous years.

Excellent course, we play it on our yearly outing.

I wish Golfnow would reveal at the time of booking that the course is under a major renovation. Give the extent of the construction, I was shocked that the course is still open to play. Most of the tee boxes have been moved to almost the middle of fairways. From the tips, the course is playing less than 5000 Yds. There is a temporary green on the 18th hole at the 150 yd marker.

I have played this course earlier in the year and it's not a bad course for the money. However, I would stay away right now for aleast the remainder of the year when all the construction is completed.

The course was in decent shape with nice soft greens, but almost every hole had tee box construction ongoing. When the construction is complete and driving range is open this will be a great course.

They are making many upgrades to the tee boxes and have added forward tees to help the novice player. Plus the have plans for a wee course, they are headed in the right direction.

I'd like to give it a higher rating, but we were a twosome who were behind a foursome that had no concern for anyone else on the golf course. As a result, our round took four and a half hours and we waited on every hole. It overshadowed everything else about the course.

We played this course for the first time.. Front 9was nice but the real challenges started on the back!

Don't hesitate to play it!

Played for $20 in July (golfnow.com rate). Love the history and how the horse track remnants are incorporated into the design on the front nine. Back nine has much more elevation and challenge. They are currently doing construction, adding new putting and practice area. They are turning the 18th green into one of the practice greens so the temporary 18th green is mowed down grass in middle of 18 fairway until new green is built. Wondered how that "green" would putt but my son chipped in for an "eagle" and I made a 15 footer that rolled better than some of the aerated greens around Pinehurst!! Overall, I've enjoyed Longleaf both times I've played it. It has some character. I can look back on photos and instantly know that they were taken at Longleaf. Would definitely play it again especially for $20!

Overall a great experience, construction going on so rates were super cheap! Can't wait to go back when everything's finished!!

Nice course, needs a little work, but it recently changed owners. Had not played in a while, so this course lets you spray it a bit on the front, but you better tighten the nozzle on the back. THE STAFF THERE IS ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND KNOWS HOW TO TREAT PEOPLE ESPECIALLY THE WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER.

It was a cloudy day with some rain. The course was in great shape and it is well laid out. I enjoyed this course and would recommend to anyone wanting to play a very nice course.

The course has not been maintained, conditions not up to standards of other courses in the Pinehurst area. I would not waste your money playing this course.

Beware if playing this course in the Spring. They had the audacity to charge us $68 for playing on nothing more than dirt. It appeared they had rolled the fairways, you couldn't build, make, or have a lie anywhere on the course. I'm sure this course is fine once it grows in. This time of year, no more than a $35 greens fee. Very disappointed, will never play this one again.........

My husband and I live near by in a local CC Community. We have heard good things about the course and wanted to try it out. As beginners to golf, we enjoyed the wide fairways. The front nine was nice and level and the course became more challenging on the back nine. The staff was friendly and we will be back to play this one again.

Had some time late afternoon so stopped to play an additional 9. friendly pro shop staff and starter. the Bermuda grass is still dormant so we can't say much for the fairway but the greens were excellent.

Clubhouse staff was kind of rude. Course was fun although a little expensive for quality of courses also in the area. Nice layout though.

a fun challenging course. great value. I had one of my best rounds of the year.

good course-nice people bu tpre-occupied with training new employee...as often experience with pm play-no ranger and multiple delays on course

This is not the most difficult course in the sandhills area. In fact, it can be a bit of a confidence booster. But it is pretty, in great shape and terribly enjoyable. The course offers a bit of everything and GolfNow has some great deals on fees. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.
