Beacon Ridge Golf & Country Club

This was the first course we played in the area and we were not disappointed. We were given the twilight rate of $29 to ride, and it was worth every penny. We had the course to ourselves with a 2:00 tee time and got through in 3 1/2 hours. Very enjoyable and will definitely play again the next time we are in the area.

Thanks Matt and staff, the course in in great shape. As always not a bad thing to say. Don't miss this course, it is a must play in the Pinehurst area.

This was a great course to play as it was totally different from anything I have played yet. Located in a gated community with gorgeous plantation style clubhouse this course offers a great way to test your skills over coming water hazards and the constant change of the terrain elevation on each hole. Greens are very tight and fast, carts are well maintained, and the staff was very friendly. Plus the deal I got on GolfNow was great! $20 for everything and the tee time I wanted!

We found this course to be challenging, yet fair. In good condition, fairways very good, greens, still recovering from recent punching. Excellent
rate on Golf Now.

Course layout was excellent and being able to play with 3 members enabled a better scoring round because of the course knowledge and green reads. The round was slow because the course was wall-to-wall golfers on a Saturday.

Greens rolled very smooth. Fairways well maintained and rough manageable. Nice course and well taken care of.

Well laid out course. Some difficult holes. Plenty of character. Course was in good shape.

We played the value tee time. For $14, this was an awesome course. It wasn't busy at all. Nobody in front or behind us. About half of the fairways are bowl shaped, so if you hit left or right, it'll roll back towards the middle. Overall, great game, very relaxing. I wouldn't pay $60 for it, but it was still a pleasant experience.

I've lived in the Sandhills for 18 years, and played every course except Pinehurst #2 and #7. All the golfers that live in the area consider Beacon Ridge to be the "worst" course in the Sandhills. The course is bland and boring and has no redeeming qualities. It was very poorly designed--who IS Gene Hamm?! He's NOT renowned!! Its always a ghost town course--nobody on the course and nobody in the clubhouse/pro shop.
The last time I played there, I stood at the sign-in desk for 15 minutes because the pro shop staff was nowhere to be found. Play ANYWHERE else for a more enjoyable round--this course is dull and boring. UNLESS you're in a hurry and just want to practice your swing, because the good part about this place is that you'll never get caught behind other golfers. You'll always be the only one out there. Sometimes its nice to be the only one on the course---I played 18 holes here in 3 hours! Never saw another golfer!

Don't be deceived by yardage, look at slope rating. A lot of uphill approach shots.

The only complaint I would have is that there were no water stations or beverage cart out on the course during a hot day.

fairways were immaculate, greens were like kitchen floor for the price I paid that's was a steal I am going back as soon as I can pace of play was great I have no complaints at all

Nice condition even with the hot weather we have had. The greens were fast and the flags were set in some difficult spots.

Was expecting more from a 4 star course. Clubhouse and pool in need of repair and paint. Personally, too many elevated greens and green bunkering for me. Greens multi-colored, hard to read, not receptive enough and super fast. Glad I played it but won't return.

The course is not my favorite layout because it is not very long and when it is dry it is difficult to hold anything, even a fairway. With the wet conditions it played longer and the ball held everywhere. It was much more playable and in tremendous shape. It was like playing a different golf course and I enjoyed it very much. Plus I beat my nephew who hits the ball a mile!

Good course with very nice practice areas. Nice greens fun to putt.

This is probably the best course for the money. I used Golfnow.com and got a great price. The course was in great shape because of all the rain, maybe a little too wet. I highly recommend Beacon Ridge.

My son and I were on vacation, and chose Beacon Ridge because it was suppose to be a very good course. Only the front 9 was open, because they were working on the back side. The front side had been aerated and sanded and we had to play the front two times. This was not what we expected
and did not enjoy the round.

Played this course many times & never get tired of it !
Course is in good shape & staff is very kind.
Has driving range & chipping area which is good to warm up with !!

Fairly tight fairways tree lined on both sides. Several bind shots so can be challenging for first round. Front 9 has many uphill shots to green. Back 9 more traditional and enjoyable. Conditions in late April was average ... Several fairways had brown spots ... Perhaps not recovered from winter season. Greens rolled well. Clubhouse staff was very friendly but not much of any stock. He said it was end of season close out ... But it was late April.
