The Beaufort Club

We've played this course almost every year it has been open and seen the improvements. There is no beach course close in length and care as North River Club. Greens and fairway are well kept, while sand traps need some work. Par 3's from the blue tees offer a nice challenge, with the wind being the ultimate stabilizer. Great value and we'll be back.

I've played this course with family every year since it has been built and it is a great track. Bermuda greens are well kept and lush. Despite the area temps, you can tell they've been maintained and kept long for the weekend golfer. The course design is challenging, yet rewards great shots.

The rough is fair, but unforgiving. The fairways reward well placed drives. The water is a good challenge and not overwhelming. The par 3's are true from the blue tees.

This year, they have added a clubhouse and restrooms on each nine (as it is part of a new development). You can tell management values the investment and good things are to come.

The sand traps need to be tended to and improved, but hopefully you'll stay out of them. Once the grill opens, I suspect this will be a favorite destination for locals as well. I can't wait to get back!

Well done guys.

Course was in great condition, greens were in very good shape. The rough wasn't too high, but very grabby and fluffy. Course had seen some rain, so it was 90 degree on the fairways and the traps had some standing water. Always a great challenge, can't wait to play it again.

We played three times from the tips and enjoyed each one. Course is quite a challenge at that length and the wind was up, along with the son. We were first off all three days and finished before the heat of the day leaving the beach for that.
Many challenging holes with great risk reward opportunities. Course was in great shape for midsummer North Carolina sun and heat and we felt a bargain for quality golf at a fair price.
Will take it on again if I ever vacation anywhere near Atlantic Beach or Emerald Isle.

This is a challenging course. Always in very good condition.

Great course just north of Beaufort. Nice layout with large greens. Got a good rate thru GolfNow. Me and my brother-in-laws really enjoyed our round. A must play when you are in the area.

For the price, this is a great track. Several interesting holes. The wind adds to the course complexity. Greens average speed but rolled true and you can shoot at the pins. I don't know any of the details behind this golf venue, but I hope it can make it financially. Some of the fairway sand traps are not maintained, so you wonder about the cost. Great clubhouse. Has to be the best layout in 50 miles.

Clubhouse is nice - greens in great condition but slow. Bunkers still an issue.

First time playing this course and I will for sure be playing it again. some of the facilities are still under construction. Overall a great course!!

I always love playing at N. River. The course is a gem and the new drop-dead gorgeous clubhouse they just built is one of the best I've ever seen. The course itself is a good blend of links-style and traditional golf. The wind is always a factor which helps make it so challenging. I gladly drive from Jacksonville, NC to the other side of Beaufort, NC to visit and play North River!

The course was a challenging set up despite wide fairways and plenty of distance markers to help find proper targets. The course was in great shape, had a good look to it - despite the surrounding area not being anything special, and played like a championship caliber course.

As a once-a-year visitor to the area, I have played a half dozen or so courses within half an hour of Morehead City, NC, and North River is definitely my favorite.

Great time with my son in law. The new clubhouse looks great. No restaurants yet but I am sure they will do the right thing

Big Improvements. Greens were excellent. Sand Traps need better drainage.

Short, easy drive from Atlantic Beach. Brand new clubhouse. Friendly, helpful staff. Great driving range and putting green. Fairways in great shape and the greens were excellent. Fun, generous layout. Book an early tee time and meet your family at the beach by noon. I enjoyed it enough to book it for a second day of play. This course deserves more visitors.

Played it twice this week and many times over the last several years. One of my favorite courses any place. I love it. Greens are fantastic. New clubhouse is absolutely a showplace, it is beautiful. Snack bar was not yet opened. Lots of work being done to improve the course. By far the best course in the area. A must play.

One of the best courses in the area. A fair & chalanging layout. Great for low to middle hadicappers.

Love this course. If you avoid the fairway bunkers you can score low. If not, ouch! Beautiful greens and scenery..

This was a great course! Difficult, but fun. The layout was great...water and sand everywhere. Only thing they need to work on are some of the bunkers. They were pretty washed out, but I bet they will have those in shape by the time beach season is here.

This is a strange course. The layout is probably wonderful, but I could not really tell. Since I played while the grass was dormant, it was mostly brown, but very playable. However, the bunkers were horrible. Some were flooded and some were eroded, and very few were even playable. That said, when the course greens up in the spring, it should be a great place to play. Much water, although most can be avoided. Even though the course does not seem new (scorecard copyright date is 2007, I think), there is no real clubhouse. They even use porta-potties still, and very little merchandise in pro shop and next to nothing for food and beverages. If these things are not important to you, PLAY THE COURSE in the nice weather seasons--you should enjoy it.

Beautiful course right out in the country.
Great greens and challenging fairways..water on every hole!!
Facilities not great as clubhouse not built.Portaloo toilets. Friendly staff, beer for sake in pro shop...excellent value for money!
