Great Value

Played here with my 13 year old son. Really enjoyed ourselves. Perfect day of golf. Nobody in front of us and nobody behind us on a 70 degree. Sunday. Will be back!

A hidden gem

Looking for a good tract at a valued rate in the Pinehurst area. This is your place. Could stand some cosmetic improvement but still a very playable course. A couple of quirky holes but still a very enjoyable round every time I play. Friendly staff and a good 19th hole called Filly and Colts.

Great value

This is a sleeper course. Other courses in the area have a have received more hype over the years however this course has all the makings of rivaling them. It is a diverse layout, taking advantage of varied topography. It would welcome some cosmetic upgrades however it is still a great place to play a round of golf. I played as part of a twosome in three hours. Excellent 19th hole (Fillys & Colts) which is an established group that has made their way around several golf establishments.

Pleasant Round

The front 9 played very fast - about 90 minutes. However, on the back nine it two 2.5 hours. The staff was very friendly, helpful and appreciative of my playing at their course. The value for the price was great. I would play the course again if I was in the area.

Good Value

My life-long friend and I met at this course. He lives south of Charlotte, and I'm in Raleigh. The course conditions were OK. The layout wasn't so difficult it was not enjoyable. We played from the white tees, but I would play from the blues when I return (12 hdcp).The greens were a little 'hairy' compared to what I am used to. Tee boxes had grass about 1 1/2 - 2 inches high. I think if they invested some more care in the course it could be a better experience.

Good for the money

Good course for the money…you get what you pay for. Staff was nice, fast play. It’s got good bones but needs some grooming. Lots of weeds in the fairway and not much of a difference between the rough and fairway. Bunkers were like concrete. Greens were in good shape though. I would play again considering the cost of the round.
