Great staff, great layout, great value!

Strategic placement off the tee is crucial on many holes, so make sure to pick up a yardage book. Six sets of tees so plenty of options for players of all levels. The golf course is challenging but fair with wide fairways and well conditioned greens. However, trouble lurks everywhere if you hit the ball offline. Food and beverage prices were very reasonable, and the food was very good. I’d recommend this course to anyone, especially if players in your group have different skill levels.

Nice course, pace of play is getting worse, new gps carts need checked

Great course with very good scenery.. Challenging layout with a great selection of tee boxes. Usually have no complaints with Carolina Colours. As of lately the pace of play is getting almost unbearable. Slow groups don't keep up and refuse to let faster groups through. New carts a bonus with chargers for phone, although they are gps based and "beep" when not where they're supposed to be. However I had the cart right on the cart path at multiple different holes and it just started beeping randomly like I was of course and it would not move. Just a little remapping should take care of it.

Beautiful Course

Greens are in great shape for March. A lot of bare lies tee to green, but it’s early in the season. I love how this course always plays firm and fast. Always a good choice to play here.

Has potential, but not worth traveling to play

The layout of this course has the potential to be a top course in the state. It's a tournament style course with no tournaments or youth programs.

No community involvement. The greens are spotty and inconsistent. Fairways are lush for the most part, but definitely not a top 100 course in NC. Pace of play is fantastic because there was no one out there other than couple senior groups.

There are much better courses to play until they start making the proper changes. Out of town? Try somewhere else till they improve.

Great deal

Outside of a few greens that were not that good, the course was in good shape for having survived a hurricane six weeks ago. The green tees make it most challenging for an above average golfer. Local knowledge is very helpful on a few holes on the back nine.

Great course with great staff

On a 4 day weekend, I played the course twice. Staff was informative and friendly. Course was in great shape. Bent grass greens holding up good in the July heat. Would be a member if I lived in the area. Highly recommend it and will definitely play it again when I’m nearby.

Will go again

Very nice course. 4 stars on condition only because some of the sand traps were in pretty bad shape (standing water and wash outs), probably due to thunderstorms the night before. But greens and fairways were in very nice condition.

Nice course; tall grass though

Really nice greens and fairways. However, the "light" rough surrounding the fairways and greens was too tall; enough to lose my ball a few times which was disappointing.

I don't get it

I don't know what course others are playing looking at their reviews. But other than the first time I played this course in Feb. 2017, it's been a major disappointment. Not sure I'll be back which is very too bad given the great layout.

There were dozens of nutsedge weeds in the fringe of every green. They appear as tufts of grass like like four inch high pin cushions and could impact any shot from off the green.

It had rained two days prior and every bunker was hard and had not been tended to. They should have been declared unplayable.

The girl at the register was pleasant. The electric carts are great and the courtesy towels on them are a nice touch.

Pretty sure they were doing the golf course aerification at that time. The weather wasn’t great either. Go back and give it another try!

Nice layout

Very nice course, all holes kept in very good shape. Can’t see any other holes while traveling through the course as they are stretched out throughout the community. Lovely trails getting to next hole as well.

Staff is pleasant and overall great golfing experience.

dry weather

The very dry spring has created some very hard fairways. The good news: my shots went MUCH farther. The bad news;: some of my shots went TOO far! I love the course layout. The greens are true and it is WELL worth the money and time to go to this course.
