About
Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2024.
Carolina Shores Golf & Country Club is situated in Calabash, N.C. a scenic fishing village. The mature woodland landscape provides a secluded and relaxing setting that is ideal for a round of golf. Though it may be peaceful, you still have to be on your toes with plenty of water hazards and sand traps lurking throughout this traditional layout. Mature trees line the fairways, requiring even further accuracy. The golf course is known for its natural crater lakes, which make an appearance on several holes. It is a course that rewards strategy and skill over brute strength. The holes will make you think, but overall Carolina Shores is a forgiving golf course that is playable for all skill levels, especially with five sets of tees ranging from 6,085 yards to a lengthy 6,755 yards.

Ok
Course was not in best shape. Fairways had a lot of crabgrass. Greens didn’t look good but they pitted very true. Bunkers were in good condition. Would play here again but wouldn’t pay more than $25 to play it.
Showing its age
The geography of this course would lend it to be a very beautiful track, but the ever present signs of neglect ruined a good day.
glad I only paid what I did using rewards from GN
several courses in area are far superior.
will not return
Course in good condition
Well kept fairways with no "bald spot". The roughs are of normal height. The greens are in good condition and a little bit on faster side. A couple of bunkers have some water from recent rain as typical in other mid priced courses . Great riding from a fleet of 2 month old electric cart.
Goat Track
Weed infested fairways and t boxes.
fairways 4 inches long
rough ankle deep
This course will close soon. Maintenance guy told me they only have 3 man crew. Equipment broke down
Going downhill
This used to be one of our favorite courses. Last couple of time playing have not been fun. Grass growing in bunkers, greens spotty and fairways more weeds than grass.
Sad
I played this course 18 or 19 years ago it's sad that the shape of the course has gone down to this. Bunkers had 3 ft. of water in them. The Bermuda ruff was a foot tall in places. Could be a nice course again with a grounds crew
Great time playing this course
Great experience with the staff and playing a nice course at a good price.
unkempt
clearly a lack of $ and upkeep impacted this decent layout. Greens were terribly slow and bare in spots, tee boxes mostly bare & the course doesn't get watered anywhere close to what's needed - and there was no ranger to tell a group of guys to pick up the pace. (they seemed more interested in drinking beers at 11am, making lots of noise and then playing as a 6-8some the last 3-4 holes?)
the only thing that made it decent was the $19 GN hot deal - would not have been worth $25 unless you were desperate and a beginner
Course Condition was Disappointing
The greens and fairways were in terrible condition. There was no fairway to rough cut line. It was all intermediate height grass. There were dead grass patches throughout the 18 holes. The clubhouse was acceptable but old. I won't go back.
Poorly groomed golf course
This was by far the worse maintained course I've ever played in SC. You could not tell the difference between fairway and rough grass. Weeds growing through the sand is a sure sign of a course that isn't maintained! Unless the owner spends money for some drastic updates and maintenance, this course should be closed.
Good location with our room accommodations.
Poor fairways, not mowed.. Grasses growing in the fairway. Greens were extremely rough!
Great course for the price.
The course was well worth the money. The hot deal made it even better. The only issue was that the greens were in poor shape. This may have been due to maintenance.
Enjoyable round of golf
Great time. Got to hit some balls. I'll definitely play the course again.
