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.

Decent

Greens were good, most fairways were good, rough bunkers/wasteland areas could definitely be tended to. But fair price compared to other courses in the area. Played at 2:30pm during the week and felt like the only one out there which was nice

Round on way out of town

Played this course on way out of Pinehurst and thought it was good. Greens were very good as were conditions in general..Had some unique holes and provided the fun and winding down I was after following several days in Pinehurst.

Practice range is disappointing, course was in decent shape, greens were slow, staff was great and clubhouse was nice. Priced appropriately for what you're getting.

Slow start, ended well!

Things got off to a rocky start. As mentioned in another review, the kid in the golf shop was kind of a jerk. The free lunch was awesome, as was the service in the restaurant. The driving range is a dump. Not sure it would even be fair to call it a range. The first fairway is burned out. But things did improve. The fairways need a little work overall but are certainly playable. Greens are in excellent condition. It’s a fun course and I will be back!

Lots of work needed on this course

Silent adore stated we have one hole that is under construction to me it looks like there's a lot of maintenance and bad areas on this golf course that needs to be addressed. Some of the fairways were in great shape the majority were needing lots of attention. Same for the bunkers. Really nice golf carts nice comfortable seats.

Beautiful, fun, and friendly

I played Seven Lakes for the first time today after living in the area for nearly four years. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this wonderful little course. The views and layout are excellent and make up for fairways that are a bit rough in places. The greens were being aerated but I’d imagine they play quite nicely under ordinary circumstances. Most importantly the environment is very friendly. I felt like I had the course to myself. The carts are the nicest I’ve seen - plush leather seats and Bluetooth speakers. One round purchased through GolfNow includes a meal, complete with a draft beer!

Take a Chance

Got in late at night and didn’t have anything set up for golf.

Saw the course on net and just made a tee time.I was just a single and they made me feel like I was a life long member.

I was very well treated and respected.

Thanks, glad I took a chance.

Nice Layout, Great Value

Challenging layout. Greens were good. It helps to assess the grain otherwise your put will be off line.

Fairways were still brownish but give them a couple of weeks. Carts were in good shape.

Played Monday afternoon and had the course to ourselves. Saw one twosome and one single all day.

Great value!

Tough track, lots of elevation changes

This is a tough track. A lot of elevation changes, in some holes you fill like you're playing in a mountain course in the Rockies. The course will challenge you if you're not hitting long and straight shots of the tee. The course is very pretty and in excellent shape. There are quite a few carries, especially on the back nine. The water holes are super beautiful. My only recommendation is that if you're thinking of playing here, make sure your game is on point otherwise, it'll be a miserable round. The only negative is that the driving range is atrocious; it seemed like it was an after thought. I do want to play this course again but I want to make sure my game is on point before I do.

Nice course slow play

Nice course, the greens were slower than I expected. The pace of play was horrible. There were 2 foursomes in front of me and another player that joined me. The 2 groups in front were several holes behind the group in front of them. They were there to drink not play golf. This course needs a ranger out there to watch groups like this. First time playing the course, I disappointed.
