Cart Paths ONLY
Would not want to play again with cart paths only, walking may have been a shorter distance, (12,0000 steps!) I've played here before, like the course, layout, greens good even though recently aerified.
Discovered a New Gem
We visit New Bern every year and not sure why we missed playing at Carolina Colours. It was fairly early in the spring, but the course was in good condition. It is a wonderful course and the staff was very friendly. It has just enough challenge to make it a fun golf day we will definitely play there again.
A fun round of golf
I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course. Much improved since the last time I had played it. Greens were in very good condition as were the fairways. Traps need some attention. The staff provided a "handicap flag" which allowed me to enjoy the course even more.
Winter play
The course was in excellent condition for February. A couple sand traps needed work, but I'm not complaining. It's always a pleasure playing the Coulors.
First cut rough grass swallows balls
This would be a 5 star course for me if not for the rough grass. On many holes the grass is just high enough to hide a ball, even a few feet off the fairway, thus frustratingly slowing down the game. The last time I played I vowed it would be my last, I was so angry. I'll probably be back, though, but with pocket full of cheap balls.
It's an amateur course, no need to slow the game down and have it to be even more irksome for something as simple and controllable as the first cut.
Excellent greens
Almost no flaws on the greens! Challenging, very nice course and facilities.
Anxious to play again in the Spring!
Perfectly fine experience
Very well run facility. Very nice shape, especially for the time of year. Fine layout but a little too open for "high " drama but certainly good enough, dare I say it, the average golfer.If I'm back in the area will give it another try.
Awesome!
This is a great course! Accurate tee shots are rewarded with excellent scoring opportunities. The greens roll fast but true. There are some very unique holes that are a lot of fun to play! I really love this course!
Very private course
Course was very well maintained and also has the unique feature of homes being located on just one side of fairways. Some holes had no homes at all. Beautiful bridges crossing wetlands. For the middle of November the fairways and greens were very lush. Excellent value for the cost of greens fee and cart. Will be on my must play list the next time I'm in the New Bern area!!!
Such a Slow Place to Play, Arrg!
I have driven the 45 minutes to play this course a few times. I always call to see how busy they are, if busy I stay away. Called and they said wide open, wrong. The members of this club are on average quite old and play very slow which just brings your whole round to a grinding halt once you catch up (5th hole today). The tee boxes are a bit rough and some of the greens were not very nice either. Anything off the fairway is in this sponge type grass which just buries the ball and even makes it hard to find or see. The layout is average, no real interesting holes except maybe 3 and 11 and even 17, the rest pretty bland.
Recommended
Solid 18 hole layout where each hole is its own. No missing a fairway to end up in another. I really enjoyed this unique layout. Fairways were firm and fast. Greens rolled true but could be a little bit faster. I played in the afternoon and they were a little hairy. Biggest knock was a few of the back tees had little to no grass. Was teeing off dirt on several holes. All that nit picking I still give it 4 stars and for the price is certainly one of the best values in the area. No doubt about it, I'll be back.
great layout
found the course to be extremely challenging without being exhausting. Love the layout and variety.
Impressed
The staff is also very friendly and the course conditions were very good.
Nice Layout
Always enjoy plaing the couse. Like the layout. Greens were pretty good. Overall course was in great shape. They work hard keeping it up to par.
Beautiful Back Nine
This is my favorite course to play, especially the back nine which is still undeveloped so the landscape is picturesque and the wildlife occasionally make an appearance. Each hole has it's own uniqueness.
