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.

Fairways and bunkers need attention.

It was a fun course to play. Small greens and tree lined fairways made accuracy a necessity. Better fairways would aid in that. The bunkers where really. Barren of sand. Hard to play out of. The price made it worth the play.

Nice surprise!

I started playing Beacon Ridge regularly 6+ months ago. The course was in rough shape (fairways were patchy, bunkers below average , and the greens were just “ok”). Within the the last month or so the course has undergone a dramatic change. The fairways are smooth and don’t have tufts of weeds growing everywhere. The greens are truly wonderful and roll very nicely. The bunkers could still use some work (more sand without pebbles mixed in), but overall, the course is great! The layout is very nice and definitely a challenge. Highly recommend this track.

Good Course, Great Value

We played the course for an event and then came back on our own. The course is very good. The 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

Greens look like fairways

Not sure what these greenskeepers here are doing but putting on these greens is the worst. Doesn’t look like they ever mow them from what I saw. Will not be returning to this course.

New golfer.

The staff was very friendly and worked with us on our tee times. The pro shop was good. Definitely enough for any last minute needs. The only downside was that it didn’t have a restaurant or bar. If there was it wasn’t advertised.

Plays nice

First time in this course. Looks like they have been working hard to get greens & fairways in shape. A few tee boxes need some attention but overall great course. Cart paths could use some love but that doesn’t change the course for me. I will be back again.

Excellent Course Layout

Conditions have greatly improved. Fairways and bunkers were very good! Some greens were recently aerated and sanded.

That younger brother...

... you know the one: born into an awesome family, not rich but not poor, educated thinkers who take joy in the simple pleasures of life.

This course is that boy. Great potential, but hasn't earned the right to appreciate hard work. A little scraggly with a odd sort of fashion. Can be very precise when need but has no qualms of going full yolo at the wink of an eye.

The best quality of this boy is his friendship. I will be hanging out with this course again.

Course manager needed

They've really let this course and facility go. Everything needs work and renovation. Hard to believe residents are not up in arms. Fairway look like cow pastures and the tennis courts resemble a skateboard park. They are in need of great repair. We feel for the staff... all three of them. It will be awhile before we schedule another tee time here unless the price comes down to match the course.

Nice Course.

I really like playing here. The greens fees are very reasonable, the layout is great, and the greens run true. The fairway and bunkers aren’t in peak condition, but for the price you can’t beat it.
