Very beautiful golf course

First off the staff was great. Very friendly. Course is very well kept and manicured. It is the definition of a mount course with many elevation changes and lots of scenery. Some very challenging fairways and greens but I thoroughly enjoyed playing there. Played from the white tees and glad I did. May have been too difficult from the blues or gold tees. I’m a 11 handicap.

Must Play

I have played Olde Beau many times, it is one of the most scenic courses in North Carolina. The conditioning is fabulous, the mountain views are awesome and the facilities are great. I would not recommend it for the average walker, you will need to be in excellent shape. The course has many challenging holes so bring your A game! love the course.

Wow!

This course is stunning! I have played quite a few mountain courses in the decades I’ve been coming here, but this one is special. It’s beautiful and challenging but without being unfair. You are rewarded for being in the fairway, but still allowed room to miss without having to dig back into the bag. There is a high level of risk reward. The greens were large and surprisingly flat making for a fun experience. I’ll be back!

Check your cart

This was the third time playing Olde Beau. Is was as I remember. Greens, bunkers and tee boxes were in great shape. Fairways were good for the most part. Incredible views from many areas throughout the course. The issue we had was with the golf carts themselves. We had to go through 3 carts before we found one that was safe to maneuver up and down this very hilly layout. The first one was unable to make it up an incline from a standing start and had to back down a hill to get a running start to make it up the hills. We changed out carts at the turn. The second cart was even worse as the brakes would lock up even going at a slow pace down a hill. This was very concerning as there are many steep inclines and sharp turns to maneuver. When we were able to get a phone signal,we notified the pro shop and they brought a third cart out to us. No apologies from anyone in the pro shop for this. Love the golf course but will very likely not return.

Extremely challenging back nine

Olde Beau is not a course for the faint hearted. Even riding in a cart it is physically demanding with many changes of elevation. The mountain views are spectacular, handling the golf cart demands extreme care on some of the very steep cart paths. Number seventeen is a hold one never forgets.

what a course! it is not a ordinary golf course. every hole is tee very high or green very high. nice layout and fantastic mountain view if you do not see mountains everyday. green was almost perfect. fairways are little thin and green sides are wet and muddy which was worst part of the course.most tough course I ever played.

Challenging

This is a very difficult course with small greens and narrow, terraced fairways..Little to no room for error. Several greens were blind and very unforgiving. I've never had so many challenging shots in one round of golf. Many of them were from the fairway. This course was a humbling experience for me. Be prepared.

Enjoyable golf

We played around noon and the course was wide open. Great pace of play. Holes 12 & 13 were closed for maintenance so the Pro said to play 1 & 2 again after 18. There are a few holes on this course I’m not fond of & 13 is one of them so that was okay. The greens are fairly firm but very good for putting. They were medium to fast and smooth and true. Course is green and fairways pretty good almost everywhere. There are numerous beautiful views on this course, deer and other wildlife and some very hilly terrain. The higher elevation and lower temperatures are a plus. Beautiful location for golf and enjoyable experience.

Awesome Views

This course is always top notch condition. The recent heavy rains did some damage to the course but they are quickly fixing it. The staff is friendly, the location can’t be beat, the green putt true. I love playing here.
