Beacon Ridge Golf & Country Club
About
Beacon Ridge Golf and Country Club, a Gene Hamm design on rolling, wooded terrain, opened in 1989. This well-maintained course has bermudagrass fairways and bentgrass greens.
Perhaps what sets Beacon Ridge apart from a number of other courses in the Pinehurst area is its variety. Just about every hole has its own character. The greens are mostly large and sloped. You will find adequate room off the tee, but if you miss the fairway, you’ll end up in deep rough and pine trees and might not find your ball. Play conservative and keep your ball in play.

Golfer Reviews
West End Beauty
Beacon Ridge has always been a good course, and this year it's on the way to becoming a great course.. Tee boxes in great shape, as are the fairways.. And greens that are tricky to maneuver, but reward a correct read. All told, a great day.
Monie well spent
Good practice facilities. Many side up hill second shots onto fast greens. Elevation changes on each hole. Major stratigy change coming from flat land, Florida, Texas.
Golf course rating
The course was not in good shape, cart paths were terrible, and it took almost 5 hours to play and had already 3 groups on every hole. Had to wait on every shot and never saw any staff to try and improve pace of play. Don’t think I will play this course again!
Hidden Gem
Give this beauty a try- both you and your wallet will thank me! As far as layout / conditions / price point are concerned- this course is about the best deal anywhere- quite the comeback from past struggles
First time here. Considering the time of year (February) and all the recent rain the course was in really good condition. Greens were really good. The staff at the shop were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely play again.
Beacon Ridge Golf Club
Was really impressed with how well the condition of the course was. Fairways ‘Over-seeded’ and the New Sunday Greens are in very good condition. The new owner is doing a great job and very helpful with all of our concerns. Very friendly and helpful staff. Come play the New Beacon Ridge.
Nice Layout.
First time playing the course. Pleasantly surprised. Fun course. Pleasing to the eye and in decent shape. Greens were good.
Great course definitely worth a visit
Played this course and found it to be a hidden gem.
Club has just reopened in the last 2 years but in great shape. They need some regular visitors in order to get clubhouse amenities opened however.
We would love to see that happen.
Truly a Sandhill gem.
Honest opinion
The layout is challenging and course condition are good. The bent grass greens were recently replaced with Sunday Bermuda and are growing in nicely. Although the grass on the back nine is a bit sparse they rolled true and s a reasonable pace. Bunker conditions varied but were playable. There are no off course amenities.
New Bermuda Greens, Much Improvement
New Sunday Bermuda greens were installed over the summer. They are growing in very nicely and putt true. Bunkers were recently sifted of rocks. The grounds crew and management are focusing hard on improving course conditions. Can’t say enough about the greens as they get better and better each week. The front nine reopened in early July, the back nine in August so the are a little behind the front nine. If you played here during the past 3 years when the bent grass greens were struggling, play it again with the Bermuda greens. The layout is fun and challenging.
The greens on this course were not in very good shape (too much rain for the bent grass is my guess). Fairways were ok. There were so many areas ornaments this course that were completely saturated with water you couldn’t walk in those places to retrieve your ball let alone take a cart. It blew my mind that even in those saturated areas they were still watering them with sprinklers! Perhaps they were automated but didn’t make a lot of sense to me. The gentlemen working the pro shop was extremely nice and helpful. I’ve golfed here before and have seen it in much better shape than I did this day.
Temp Greens
The course was not ready to play.... They were operating Temporary Greens. The greens won't be ready until this coming Friday 26 Oct 18. The sand traps weren't racked and the course was wet..... The course is also hard to find even with a navigation system on my phone. If I had of known the greens weren't ready, I wouldn't have booked this round for me and my wife. Such a disappointment.
Going to be nice
Very nice layout, and the fairways are well kept. It is certainly worth playing now at half price. When they replant the greens and get them up to snuff (which they plan to do next summer), will be a course I would enjoy playing. The only caveat is that members of the club are a bit older (got behind a member tournament) and the pace of play can be slow.
Greens Dead
This course shouldn’t be on Golfnow right now. Course has purposely killed the greens preparing them to be replaced. I can see $10 to $15, but customers should also be made aware
Could not agree more. This course used to be great, but they have completely lost all of the greens and allowing people to pay anything more than 10-15 without warning them about the course conditions is ridiculous.
Its a trap
I played this course years ago and had fun. The practice facility was nice and the course was challenging but not overkill for somebody new to golf. This time was horrible. The tee boxes were fine, even the fairways were in decent shape for most of the round, but every single green was atrocious. It was down to the top layer of dirt. If I had known it was that bad, I would have played somewhere else. Not worth what was charged and definitely wont go play there again until they completely renovate the greens. It has potential, its a nice area, good layout, but the greens take away from your experience in a distracting amount.
Called for tee time and cost . Said rates were $65 but had special for _35 . Asked about greens said they were Punched 3 weeks ago and were healing well. Greens were terrible , traps were full of rocks, we used to play this course 6- 8 years ago and has not improved. We will never play here again! Can't believe they want $65 to play it ! Wouldn't recommend to anyone! Truth hurts!
We are sorry that you had a poor experience. We have recently reintroduced Golf Course Marshals to speed up play.
Our course is rated for a 4 hour and 20 minute round. It rarely goes beyond that. Please give us another try!
