Great 👍
Overcast all day so pretty much had the whole course to our group and was awesome!
Sweeeettttt
Haven’t been there in a few years and they have put in the new greens that are great and roll very nice. Will definitely be back! The fairways were also very nice.
Great looking course
Wonderful greens care and maintenance. Sausage dog was a hit
Staff is terrible
I’ve been to this course multiple times. Every time I go, the staff members at the pro shop are extremely rude. The course is excellent, but it is not worth 60 dollars a round, and it is sometimes higher. They get extremely rude if you ask the staff questions besides telling them your name and time. Sadly, I won’t return until they clean house with the people who work in the clubhouse—it used to be a great course. RIP bayonet.
Stayed at Pinehurst
Nice course. Greens are newer and need to mature.
Back nine has too many holes that look the same.
Good for the money
Friendly staff
Great conditions
This course does not skimp on keeping their greens and fairways watered and healthy. Fun course with pretty good layout. The condition is what really made this course excellent. Not much in the clubhouse but there is beer so what else do you need? Really good day of golf.
A Bit of a Drive but Worth It
Practice range is huge with nice grass. Chipping green nice, huge putting green. Do not come hungry. Bbq and plain hotdog, a few snack bags.
Course is challanging. Greens huge, protected by mounds and multiple sigat sand bunkers. Fairways wide with nice lush grass. Greens newly renovated and very firm still. Bring a good short game and a range finder. Playing to center of green leaves very long putts. Multiple rangers on course to speed play. Starter on weekends, not sure about weekdays. Pace of play was great. 4.25 hours on a weekend, wow. Nice clubhouse and friendly staff. Bought a shirt and medallion I enjoyed it so much. Thanks Bayonet.
Bayonet is a Must in the Area
Played 05-04-24 Saturday. Driving range is massive with course condition grass. Chipping green was awesome, as was the huge practice green. The course has multiple rangers to speed play. Starter on weekends, not sure about weekdays. The course is very challenging. You will not be texas wedging from off the green. Bring a good short game. Mounds and bunkers protect all the greens bad approach shots. The grass and greens are on par with the Pinehurst Resort, except #2 and #4. Lots of variations each hole. Fairways are wide, greens massive size.
It is 35 minutes from Pinehurst, 20 from Fayetteville. Well out in the country with nothing close the only negative. Don’t come hungry.only package snacks, pre made bbq, and plain hotdog. Not even a drink dispensing machine with ice. Staff are friendly. Clubhouse is nice. Loved my day here and will be back. Even bought a logo shirt inside and a medallion.
