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.

Has been good for a long time.

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

Coures is in very good shape.

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

Super nice course!

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

Expected from from a 4 star rating

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.

Best shape that I have seen it in.

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!

Great prices through Golfnow.

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.

Poor Conditions, only 9 holes open, & they were aerated & sanded

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.

Challenging 18 with tight tree lined fairways with many uphill shots to greens. Back 9 much more enjoyable than front.

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.

great course for the money only 15 min from Pinehurst

Very friendly staff to start. Played in March everything dorment but greens were great but a little tricky. Short drive from pinehurst and will add it to our stop every spring. Great value with Golf Now hot sale. Somewhat challenging, but very straight forward and can score on some holes. Not super long and even for us longer hitters there are a couple of reachable par 4's and got to a lot of par 5's in two. Seemed like a lot of bunkers surrounding all greens. No gimiks just great course.

This course deserves respect

Beacon Ridge has several holes to challenge your golf skills, and some that will allow you to score. Elevation changes and water will ensure that you choose the correct club and make a solid shot so as to eliminate those bigger numbers on your card.

A very enjoyable course to play

The Clubhouse impresses immediately. The Pro Shop staff was friendly and helpful. The golf cart was in good shape, no GPS but the course has yardage marked on the sprinklers. Very few holes where you were restricted to cartpaths (par 3's). The first hole is a great starting par 5 that gives a good first impression. The par 4's are not long but because the course is a bit hilly the second shots play a little long and require extra club but there are four sets of tees so you can pick your yardage. On course facilities are porta-potties on both nines. Houses are scattered throughout the course but they do not come into play. The fairways are quite wide with bunkers strategically placed but not too abundant. and there is water only on a few holes Many of the greens were a little small with a fair but of undulation but they all ran pretty quick. My spouse and I both enjoyed playing this course.
