Atascocita Golf Club - Shores/Pinehurst Course

Pros: Staff is incredibly friendly, range balls included in the fees, carts ready for you in the parking lot, fun course to play

Cons: No water stations on the course (heat index was 106° yesterday), no beverage cart, decent amount of standing water, just rolled the greens so they were awful

Staff friendliness alone will bring me back soon - just with more water and more time.

The greens could use some work but overall this course is awesome. I will return

The reason I would not recommend this course is the price to play. Maybe that's due to new carts, they are nice but green fees are a lot higher now.

Understand that upgrades are underway. I will wait awhile before going back. And definitely will not go there after any rain at all. CPO after minimal rain. Excellent new carts

I hesitate sometimes because of the price, but every time I play here it’s easily money well spent. The course is always in good shape, and I was thrilled to play Shores again for the first time in forever. The new carts and info center are a huge upgrade, although they restrict you from getting more than a couple feet in the rough so it’s a little annoying when you’re searching for a ball and the cart says “no”. But free range balls, super friendly staff, I’m always reminded that it’s by far the best value course in the area.

Had an awesome time here. The course is in great shape, the new carts are a nice bonus, and everything just felt well taken care of. The staff was friendly and welcoming from start to finish. Definitely a place I’d come back to. Highly recommend.

Cart path only after a lot of rain. But fairways were good and greens rolled well. Coming under new ownership and a lot of plans in the coming months of years. Will get even better. Worth a visit!

Starter was very nice and let us get on earlier, also answered our questions.

Well it all started out great. Signage states to load your cart and then proceed to pro shop which was new to me but thought it was a great way to start. A fellow golfer explained how it works and where to go after my cart was loaded.

The gentleman in the pro shop was extremely polite and helpful. But unfortunately it all went bad when I arrived at the starter shack. The older gentleman told me and another golfer that because we were single golfers that we would have to share a cart and ride together. Well the other golfer and myself were not happy with that demand so we both refused and then the starter ignorantly said to just go ahead. Will not return to this course because of that rule.

In terms of value for the money, I paid about $93 a person I expect a lot more out of a course for that kind of money. The greens were patchy, some were sandy, and had holes. Grass overall should be better for the course fees. One great amenity was the free range balls. Pace of play was great. $65 a round would be good value for this course.

Five hours to complete a Friday afternoon round is simply too long. Course layout somewhat confusing and could be marked better. Greens are small. Tee boxes do not appear to be moved daily.

Played by myself, the groups ahead of me let me play through, nice local course to play

Really warm welcome by the pro shop and range staff.

Course conditions were poor however. Lots of sand in fairways and on the exceptionally bumpy greens.

Very little definition between tees and fairways
