Rating 74.1

This is a well-conceived, challenging, yet playable course, with a good reputation among local golfers.

Water comes into play on quite a few holes. The fairways are relatively wide, but it will help to play your shot carefully. A few bunkers lurk in the fairways, ready to create trouble. There are also some greens that require well-placed shots over water from uneven lies. Overall, this is a well thought out, fun and thoroughly worthwhile course.

Peter Tufts, (the gentleman who designed the course), was the godson of Donald Ross and the Ross influence is obvious throughout.

Hidden gem

Tradional golf course with small greens, strategic bunkering and very well conditioned. 5 sets of tees allows you to play the course at a length suited to your game. Lots of elevation changes make you think about your shots. I could play here every day and be happy.

I have just purchased a place in Pinehurst for my son to attend SCC. I have looked for a nice course to play and we found it when we played 7Lakes. My son and I played 2 weeks ago and this past Saturday and everyone was friendly and the course was great. Yesterday was terribly slow as the twosome in front of us joined another twosome and they still had to wait like us. We quit on #16 as did some players behind us. I now have the pro shop phone # in my phone as I do not think mgt, would tolerate that kind of slow play.

Great place to play!!!

7 lakes gc - condition

Cris greeted us with a smile and a warm welcome. He advised us to get a large cup of ice and fresh water.
The course has lush, wide fairways in beautiful condition. The greens were almost perfect and the speed was consistent everywhere. There were lots of water holes, but they rarely effected play. The homes were set back from the fairways, so they had no impact on shot selection. Although I have lived in this area for many years, this was my first experience there, but I hope to return soon !.This is a most pleasant golf course and I highly recommend it.

Wonderful day of golf!!!

The day started with a great practice green and chipping area. Each hole was unique and challenging in its own way. I think I could play this course 100 times and it would never get old. Fun day capped of with the best fish and chips I've had in years. Thanks for reminding me why I love golf so much!

Great Overall

This course was very nice. The putting and chipping greens were nice. The staff is extremely hospitable. The fairways are in great condition and the greens are some of the best I've played on in quite some time. The course is laid out nicely and challenging. Definitely worth the drive as I drove from Bunnlevel NC to play.

Green lover

I just visited the area over the week, my boy played at the US kids world championship. After caddied for him in the morning, I wanted to check out golf in the area, got great deal from golf now for myself and my 10yo daughter . I thought I would get less than a 100% welcome from the staff for not paying 100%, sorry :). It turned out they are so professional, so friendly and awesome. They sent us out to the course way a head of our tee time. The course is in magnificent shape from tee boxes to fairway and green. Despite heavy rainforest couple of days, we got to roll our cart right on the fairway, drainage system is super, I guess. The slope rating is 142 but it doesn't seem too tough to play, lot of water off the tee but not too intimidating if you can hit a decent driver, beautiful course is all I can say. I will play again when return to the area, even at full price, it still is worth the money. Thanks the staff from the pro-shop, you guys are so cool.

A favorite of mine

Beautiful course with very good greens but a little beat up because of the wet/softness. Always in good shape with friendly staff.

Fun Course and great views

I played 7 Lakes because I scored a deal to the course, and far from disappointed, I absolutely loved the course. 7 Lakes is built in a private community and it wasn't uncommon to see golf carts cruising around some of the side streets within the gates of the community.

The course itself was in excellent shape from tees to greens. Many of the holes had water hazards of varying size and placement which necessitates good shot placement.
