Golf in February
A winter round so grass dormant, but last fall cutting left the rough deep enough to stop a ball from auto rolling into the waiter hazards. Did get a lot of tool compared to summer. Greens were good, quick rolling, fair to play. Sand for the most part was tended and raked. Fair separation of tee boxes, buddy and I played gold, other guys played white.
In The Hole
Good time for all. Great place to golf . Best course in East NC
Great Course
Very friendly staff. Course is well maintained. Would recommend to friends.
Really Nice
Course layout is great. Gives u a challenge from whichever tee you choose. Some of the greens were a little rough. Hot summer.
Course Conditions must Improve
The pace of play was great. We were never held up by anyone nor were we pushed. The biggest flaw was the condition of the course. Multiple greens where over have of the green was either dead or didn't have grass. A tee box was not mowed and felt as long or longer than rough. I hope this improves because I am a fan of the layout of this course.
greens did not look good but putting them was no problem
nice course to play hot day few players greens look iffy but putted fine
Great course! Planning on playing again soon!
My father and I played 18 holes here yesterday, the course was recommended to us from a friend so we drove up from Jacksonville to check it out! Well worth the drive and money! The course layout is moderately challenging, with plenty of risk and reward shots! The greens are well tended... they bite well with a high approach shot, yet lower trajectory shots and putts can be fast. It was very interesting dynamic! The amenities were amazing too-- cooler provided for beer, draft and cans! I also liked that there were a seperate set of childrens tees. My daughter will appreciate that! going back soon!
Nice layout. Nice Staff. Enjoyable Round.
I played this course on vacation. The reviews made it appealing and the cost was reasonable ($32 mid-week). The course was in good condition and the greens were nearly perfect; not too fast and a good roll. The course has wooded areas lining most fairways but they are marked with red stakes so you don't take a lost ball with stroke and distance penalty. That saved me three lost ball penalties.
The staff is quite nice and they were very attentive. I appreciate this in a semi-private club where non-members are often given less attention.
Walking may be a bit difficult as there are some holes with a long distance between green to next tee.
Great course
Greens were perfect,not pga fast but rolling smooth and true I live 35 miles away and find this course well worth the drive Pace of play was good, our foursome played under four and a half hours.
The course is in excellent condition and a joy to play.
Afternoon single
I saw no evidence of the poor treatment referred to by other reviewers as I was welcomed at the Pro Shop as well as on the course when I paired up with a single member. Great new and young layout still trying to "green" up in the fairways, although they appear to be struggling a little more in the fairways to thicken up. The member mentioned that they have a new head groundskeeper that is focusing on that.
The course has wide open fairways
I was happy with the course and the lay out. It has a lot of chances to get birdies. The greens were in great shape and the fairways had a lot of grass even thought they were brown. I would play the course again and
recommend the course to everyone.
birthday round
The course layout is a true challenge . I expected wet conditions but found the course truly playable. The par 5's are a great set of holes and worth the trip.
The entire staff needs a lesson in courtesy!!!!
The course itself is outstanding. If you avoid most of the staff and their uppity behavior it would be a fine place to golf, but to give you an example of what to expect. I was asked how much i had paid online, as if that was any of his business. Before that took place, while I was warming up on the putting green another worker said only paying customers are allowed to use the practice greens, and the driving range is for members only. Needless to say I won't be going back.
Beautiful course
Course is in great shape, beautiful course. Facilities and carts in great shape! Would like to see a few more hot deals.
Worth the money
Wonderful layout. Greens and fairways in only fair condition.
Wait a couple months
Discounted rates are for the maintenance of the greens. They should have used temporary greens as they would have been better that what was there. I have played this course many times over the years and have never seen it in this bad of shape. Tee boxes were covered with branches and debris to the point where you had to move stuff just to tee off. Fairways were the same. I sincerely hope this course is not the next to go bankrupt in this area as it used to be the best around. The complete lack of maintenance is never a good sign.
A Modern Course Among a Very Fine Collection of Classic Courses
Carolina Colours is a terrific golf course - it is a modern layout with a nice variety of holes. From long and straight to dogleg left/right, and challenging par 3's, the layout keeps the player engaged. Furthermore, the tee box options provide a good balance of challenge for all levels of play. My only criticism belongs in the lap of mother nature - she had played havoc with the bunkers after several days of heavy rain. Clearly, the maintenance staff cannot be responsible. Surprisingly the greens and fairways drained quickly and the course was playable when others in the area were cart path only. And, you have to see the long wooden bridge that winds through the swamp.
Playing Carolina Colours is a pleasant contrast between several other beautiful classic courses in the New Bern area. I highly recommend this course, but also suggest you try Harbour Point and Minnesott Beach.
An enjoyable open course
Pretty wide open fairways. Greens were somewhat slow. Lots of recent rains had filled up the bunkers. Fun to play. I would say it's right in the middle. Not too difficult, but not super easy either.
Great Course
I love the course. I would call it a hidden gem. It has something special on every hole.
Worth the drive
Course is lovely to the eye. Everything was neat and in place. Greens were in great condition except very moist which made them very slow. Will play again when the course has a chance to dry out. The bunkers were like small ponds.
I forgot to write that the course provides you with a complimentary yardage book. A nice touch.
