Great course

We played the course on our last day of our golf vacation. It was the cheapest course we played so we weren’t expecting a lot. We were more than pleasantly surprised! It turned out to be the best course of the 4 we played. Layout great, greens were in terrific shape and the fairways were lush. Lots of water challenges! You won’t find better value for what you get in Ocean Isle. Highly recommend.

Mass confusion at the Starter.

Tees off about 25 mins late for no reason

Greens were great, but way too slow. Felt like they were running a 6-7. Had to crush putts

First time

Played after a night and morning of rain and wild winds so course was a little messy with small branches. Very few people there due to weather so not sure what the normal pace of play would be.Fairways we’re in good shape and the greens were the best of the courses we have played here although a little slow due to all the rain.Liked everything about the course except the cart paths which are in really rough shape. Going back in a couple of days for a second opinion.

Very nice course

I will definitely play it again. Fun layout. The greens had been over seeded so very slow. The fairways were not in the best of shape, lots of bare spots and poana grass. It is winter so you can’t judge a course by that right now.
