A love hate relationship but getting better

Bunkers need work but no big deal. Greens are always great. It's never busy and with some wind will test low handicappers. New owners and clubhouse coming soon. No matter what the situation, I have always loved this course. Also to the new owners PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE shorten some of the distance between holes. The fence blocking you from 8 green to 9 tee is REDICULOUS! a few minor tweaks could increase pace of play by 30 minutes easy.........but I still love the place.

Great course for the money, bunkers could use new sand but the course plays great. Fairways are in great shape and the greens are perfect.

A solid option for NC beach golf

First visit to North River. Looks like it was meant to be a residential community course, but the community didn't develop. The course certainly did! Good course with plenty of water and sand (almost no trees....) A very entertaining round... Might well fit the "hidden gem" category. Worth a look.

Where is the sand?

Wonderful layout, challenging for ball placement and in excellent condition except the sand traps close to the greens where not raked. This course requires that you think about position and had several flags well protected by sand and water. Very enjoyable round.

This course requires extreme accuracy

The majority of the holes have water and a bordering waste area that comes into play. The waste areas and bunkers were in poor condition based on the excessive amount of rain they have had in the last month. This course requires a better than average degree of distance control and you must hit the fairway. Any shots that are 30 yards left or right of the fairways will likely end up in an unplayable area and/or risk not being found.

North River

Excellent layout and course design. HOWEVER, the multitude of bunkers on each hole are lacking one thing, SAND! They have completely let them go and it is a shame. Great layout and design but they need to spent some money on their traps. Greens were great and rolled true. Staff was extremely friendly!

Hidden gem.

This course calls for your best shots from tee to green. If you are striking the ball well, you will be rewarded; and if you're not, the course does what it should do, punishes you! Beautiful greens, perfect actually. Nice speed, true to the line and consistent throughout the course. First time in a while where I used every club in my bag, not because I wanted to, but I had to. If you're in Coastal NC and have not played North River, what are you waiting for!

Definitely play this course again!

Other than the bunkers needing some work, the course was in excellent condition. Course will make you think about placement but still "user friendly". Not many trees to get you in trouble but be careful of the water that runs along most of the fairways. Bring an extra ball or two :)

Nice

Great course, tee to green with lots of water. Bunkers were not in the best shape, hard pack and dirty but easy to get out. You do not want to walk this course, long way between holes. Will play again next time in the area

very nice course

Course was in good shape. Greens were fast and true. Bunkers need some sand in the bunkers Played from the tips, made for a great variety of shots. Layout was a little tricky. Look forward to playing it again

This course is worth the visit to Beaufort

This course was in good shape. Greens were excellent - rolled true to the putt. Fairways were good. Tee boxes were in great shape. Bunkers were wet in some spots and made it tough if you were in the center of em. Range tee box was in good shape as well. Putting green was true to course greens also. Would definitely recommend this course to others. Will go back and play it next time Im in town.

loved the layout

Clubhouse is a work in progress, but carts are new and clean. Staff was extremely friendly. We played late afternoon, and a staff member came to our car after our round and informed us of quality restaurants and other sites in the area. As for the course...wow. We played on a rainy, windy afternoon, but still marveled at the course conditions. The greens were the most enjoyble part. They held iron shots, and rolled true, even some putts the length of the green. Only here for a wk, but will be sure to return, especially at the price.

Great condition and a super challenge

Staff was very friendly. Great rates with GolfNow. Very-Very Long course, you'll need a cart. greens in super shape. a diamond in the rough. A bit out of the way, but worth the drive.

So much potential

This is one of the best layouts I have ever played. Each hole is unique, with expansive views on every shot. Unfortunately, there a definite lack of maintenance (probably due to lack of play). The greens, fairways, and tee boxes were all in great shape, but the majority of the bunkers were in really rough shape. I hope this gets taken care of and I hope this course survives because it would be a shame to let such a great layout go to waste.
