In great shape, good course

Course is in really good shape right now. Probably the best I have seen it in years. If you can find it for under $60 it’s a steal

Great Time

Great layout and pace of play here despite 2 separate tournaments taking place (15 players each). The middle stretch of holes really challenges you to take less than driver from the tee and a few holes have great risk-reward opportunities from the tee. Greens were a bit slow and tricky.

Really nice course! Worth the drive.

Really interesting course in great shape. The layout has a lot of ups and downs across all of the holes. Fair and open most of the holes with a few exceptions. A little challenging the first time as you figure out the right clubs to hit off the tee, but the second time is wonderful.

Well kept and challenging

I truly enjoy playing here. It is a great course for everyday players with enough challenges to keep it interesting. It is also one of the few affordable nice places to play in the Pinehurst area.

Definitely look forward to returning.
