Olde Beau Resort & Golf Club

This course is great from hole 1 to hole 18. The back 9 is much more challenging than the front 9 and some of the best views in the state from a golfing standpoint. Course is usually in great shape, there's only 5 guys maintain this course and they do a fantastic job. The temperatures are great at 3000 ft in the summer months, fairways are like carpet, greens roll true and fast in the summer. The staff is some of the best I've dealt with, Steve is one of the friendliest guys in the business and is a pleasure to deal with. Olde Beau is super challenging with some fun holes, 17 and 18 can bring a high number so play them smart. And hole 14 is a short Par 3 and the #18 handicap...left is dead, right is dead, short is dead and long is in trouble....bring your A game you'll need it!

The course was in great shape and the greens were good but rolled around a 10. The course was not crowded but their was a worker that followed us around for the first four holes and it was very distracting.The course was very challenging but I would like to play it again.

I almost didn't book this course for the 73% rating. However I'm glad I did. Greens Fairways and views of the mountains were very nice. I found the course to be challenging from the blue tees. The staff was very friendly and I can't see the low ratings. I will definitely drive back their from Charlotte to play soon

This is an excellent course with the greatest views you will find on a golf course in this area.

We really enjoyed our weekend there, with one exception. We had a cooler stolen from outside of our room overnight. Cant blame our hosts for that, just kind of put a black eye on the trip.

We will be going again soon.

I always enjoy making the trip up to Olde Beau. I have played hundreds of courses. This one is memorable--somewhere between The Ocean Course at Kiawah and Talking Stick in Scottsdale. However this one seems to be a secret. Honestly I would like to keep it that way but the staff are so nice they deserve some advertising. That being said I am hoping next time I play the pace of play is what I seek; i.e., I could play 18 in 2.5 hrs or 3 and take my time to soak in the scenery.

The views are great. Course conditions were good. That said, this is target golf to the extreme. The course is extremely hilly and the last three holes are almost ridiculously tricked up. There were not many golfers on the course on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Glad I played it but I'm one and done.

We drive form Greensboro to play this course a few times a year. However, the last two times we have played it, the fairways and greens are not what they use to be. It's worth $35, but not $55 or more. The fairways have different types of grass and are thin in a lot of areas. At that altitude, most courses are consistently fescue and plush. the greens are bent and should do well again at the altitude, but they are eat up with some type of fungus. It has been that way the last two trips which were months apart. We love the vistas and scenery, but the golf is not what it use to be.

Olde Beau is golf like you have never played before. Not an easy course, with many elevation changes. A totally unique golf experience. It is a must try golf course.

I was disappointed. The pro shop was understaffed. The tee boxes didn't identify the hole number. The overall signage was poor; creating a frustrating experience going from green to tee. There was no overall course diagram available on scorecard or in the cart. Forget cell phone coverage here, so there was no chance to go to the Internet or use an app. Many parts of the cart path were crumbling away...and this is on some steep paths! On the positive, the greens were challenging and the topography was fun. This is not a boring course. I saw that the clubhouse, course, and many lots were being auctioned off. With a little care, this would be everything it looks like online.

Spectacular views, challenging tee shots and approaches and several very unique holes make Olde Beau (named after the designer's beloved dog) a very enjoyable experience. A couple of the par 5s, most notably the 17th, are unlike anything I've ever played. Hard to describe, but here goes: Iron off the tee finds tree 100 yards out. Layup 65 yards to edge of cliff. Hit 240-yard approach onto green for birdie putt. Trust me, it's a good hole, just different. Lots of elevation change, and plenty of very uphill approaches. Shotmaker's course.

The good news is the greens are pristine and the temperature is always cooler than down the mountain. The bad news is there are always several slow groups on the course. This is a difficult course with many blind shots so a good bit of delay is built in, but sometimes it can be painful.

Very tight course with lots of hills hard to walk or ride.

Great Course, but they had over 14 in of rain within the past two weeks. Some washed out ares on the cart paths. Cart Path only the day we played which made the day longer and more challenging on us.

the course was almost immaculate. Very well maintained. more blind shots than what I'm capable of playing but was still fun. 14 & 15 views were even more spectacular than I expected. you need to play this course.

This was the second time playing the course and it was just as good as the first. Course does have some blind shot so some knowledge does help. Greens were rolling true so I good putt will drop. My best advice for a good score is hit the fairway because the rough here is very penal.

Been here a few times now and the staff is very friendly and accommodating, the course is great and when you play a few times increase the challenge by moving back a set of tees and see how you do then.
I take friends here from all over the world and they love it and it is well worth the 1.5 hr drive to get there. Having mostly played in Holland and Florida it is nice to have some hills and undulations.

Great coarse, awesome views best coarse I've played in North Carolina.
