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.
Great shape and pace!
Course is in great shape and pace of play was perfect on a Saturday. Definitely worth the price.
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.
Nice day
Enjoyable round of golf i will play at this golf course any time i have the chance thanks points
Must play.
Whenever we are in the area visiting family this has been a favorite to play. Tee to greens were looking good!
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.
Good Course
Great course some off season repairs done, coming out of winter. Greens are awesome
Great Course,Great Value
You can’t go wrong playing this course.30 minutes from Pinehurst and the price is probably 50% plus cheaper for the same course.Greens very good.They are doing work on drainage which is needed,It will only get better.
I will be back.
Course in decent shape for time of year
Pace of play was slow due to a tournament that I was unaware of.
Booked hot deal on Golf now
terrible course conditions
The range was soaked. I figured they might have over watered. Nope it was the entire course. You’d think it just rained but there hasn’t been much rain in a few weeks. Yet the fairways were muddy. Fairways were scalped -pretty much played on dead grass.
This course is usually in great shape but the day I played it wasn’t. The staff are 100% cool. The layout is fun. Just bad conditions made it a waste.
The layout is the best feature
No homes on the course. Water comes into play on several holes. The course is very challenging and requires some shot making. Fun to play.
