Really nice layout

Really interesting layout, makes the most of the natural landscapes and woods/creeks. Greens were fast, fairways were plush.

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

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.
