We get up to 1st tee - starters says they packed the course today. NET: 5+ hr round of golf.

We play 100 rounds a year across US - worst I’ve ever seen. from a pace perspective. Not coming back

Nice course, easy to get to and friendly welcoming staff.

The course was in pretty good shape. I've always wanted to play Longleaf but the price has been what has kept me away.I play several times a week and with so many other choices in the area it is a bit pricey to play weekly.

This course has a stellar staff, a stellar range and practice areas, stellar carts, stellar course conditions, and a challenging, yet not overly so, layout. Only played here twice so far, both times on weekends, and have thoroughly enjoyed both rounds. The course has a unique teeing system, which I don't mind at all, but may bother some purist out there. I say, get over it. Tees 6 and 7 are plenty long for the mid to low handicapper. Completed both rounds right at the 3 hour mark as a single, which in and of itself is a refreshing thing. Will definitely be back again, and likely become a member. I enjoy Hyland also, which has a great annual players program, but Longleaf will likely be my home club going forward. Bravo x 2!

Longleaf is a wonderful course. It’s priced a lot of us locals out but it’s an excellent track (literally built on a horse track). Great layout. The highlight are the difficult par 3s. Course Houses the US Kids World office so has great practice facilities and a nice Par 3 course. Great facility.

Fantastic value in this area. Also, they offer a military discount. Highly recommend!

Fairways were in pristine condition and greens were rolling pretty good. It had rained all morning and the course dried very quickly. I’ve played most courses in the area and this is absolutely a top 3. The layout is fantastic and it is not an easy course. During the summer months, longleaf may be the best value in all of Moore county.

We played 9 holes later afternoon. Tee boxes and rough were in tough shape. Course very dry. Greens ok. Staff was very nice. Paid $63 for 9 holes including cart - little high

Great for beginners given the many tee options. The greens were good. The tees were quite dried out and hard. Parts of the fairways lacked grass so the lies were tight.

Great staff. Nice driving range. Course condition not good. Some of the issue was time of year but the weeds all over every green is a maintenance issue. Greens not mowed or rolled. Layout seems the designers ran out of space and had to squeeze tees/greens into leftover spaces. Some of the tee/green physical relationships are hazardous (16 green/17 tee being the worst) .

. Bunkers not raked. Golf cart electronic notices were non-stop, annoying, and time consuming to clear.. As a result, electronic scoring is useless.

It was winter conditions but the greens were great. They have greatly improved this course. The staff was great.

I’ve played this course many many times. Decided to play it while friends were in town. As always the staff is great and the pace was good, but it is definitely a bit overpriced for the course conditions. It’s nowhere near what I expect for a $90 round of golf even in the winter.
