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.

Winter golf in the Sandhills

I've lived in the area for 30 yrs. It's early spring and things are just waking up. Conditions everywhere in the area aren't at their best yet. That said Beacon Ridge was a great value and a challenge for a couple of older, average golfers.

Going Down Hill

I thought that i would give Beacon Hill another chance, but unfortunately this trip was like the previous two visits. Even for winter conditions, this course is not in good shape. Very little sand in bunkers. Very little grass on tee boxes and more sand than grass in the fairways. I had to drive the cart on the fairways because the cart paths were in such bad shape, ruts and gaps from broken asphalt made the ride unbearable. This is a course that needs some financial investment. I would not be happy if I owned property there.

Over priced

I have not played this course in several years. It was very disappointing to see the condition and the pricing. I probably won’t be back.

. The course condition is very good. The Tee boxes are good , all greens roll true and the fairways are thick. For the price we paid it was a great value, especially considering other good Sandhills courses charges you $100+. Recommend

Good Reasonably Priced Golf Course

It’s not a resort, and I didn’t pay a resort price. $49 on a weekday is very reasonable for this nice public course. Chatted with a few members and they said this course improved a lot this year. I will come back.
