Great course

Since we had a bad rain a few days prior the bunkers where washed out and the greens where soft. Besides that can't wait to get out there again. Straight forward course fun to play.

Pleasantly impressed

Very nice course. I like the layout. Not super challenging which was nice since I am still learning the game. Would definitely recommend this course and will come back again when I am back in the area. Greens were well maintained considering how dry the area is.

Played this course with two novice golfers (6 times per year players). We all enjoyed the course; a fair challenge with varying length holes. Will play it again!

Wonderful Day

This course continues to improve each year. I think it's a great idea that you pay $5 for the range rather than a small bag of balls that most other clubs offer. Very clean and fair prices in the pro shop.

First time this season

This was the first time I've played colours this year and was impressed by the green speeds. The back nine fairways could have used a touch more grass and my ball landing in tire tracks down the fairway but other than that great experience. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

Fairways need some help

Greens were in nice shape but the fairways/rough were in terrible condition. It was hard pan throughout the whole course. I would hit balls in the fairway and a dust pile would go up in the air when it landed. The approach shots were coming in like knuckleballs due to the hardness of the ground. It had rained the day before. I love the layout of the course and the greens but not being confident in the fairway due to bad playing conditions kill the vibe.

Beautiful course with greens in excellent condition.

I was surprised to see the course in such good condition considering all the rain we've had lately. The cart paths are smooth and the staff is very friendly. The pace of play was good. We enjoyed the day playing at a relaxing pace.

Hidden gem!

This course offers 5 tee boxes so everybody can play and be comfortable... The greens are awesome! The few houses that exist, sit way back off the holes so your not playing in peoples yards. I think it's the best course in New Bern, hands down!

Great First Impression

I normally play in Florida, so enjoyed the Carolina topography--especially the winding cart path through the swamp! I wanted to just sit there on the bridge and look out at the scenery--as for the golf, I liked the handicap info available for choosing the tees and I played gold for the first time--din't do too badly! Interesting and beautiful golf course.

A true gem in south New Bern

My wife and I had the pleasure of playing Carolina Colours recently, and were genuinely delighted with the combination of challenge and beauty incorporated in this tract. Many holes meander through dense wooded forest, providing the player with isolation from neighboring holes. The holes are well designed with multiple tee boxes to give players of varied ability an appropriate starting point. We were especially impressed with the par fives, which were beautifully designed, appealing to the eye, and providing a good challenge for the shot making of your game. The ninth hole is basically a straight away par five, but does require a carefully struck third shot as it is guarded by water on the left side, and any hooked shot will find the water. The eleventh hole is a double dog leg, par five that plays 543 from the Green tees, but is beautifully designed. Par 3's on this course are varied, with the sixth playing over 200 yards, while the 16th is a mere 120, each provide its own challenges however.
In short, this is a must play, if you are in the area. We were so impressed with it, that whenever we come here to visit friends, Carolina Colours will be on our agenda!

Very nice layout with great practice facility

Some of the fairways are tight because it's only 5 or 6 years old. But they are doing a great job with the course. Closed on Mondays.

Very good layout and great scenery.

The course is laid out through a development, yet the homes are not close to fairways, which is great. The fairways are wide
and you have six sets of tees to choose from. For a course that so young it is in very good shape. The bend grass greens are super to putt. The driving range is great with ample hitting stations and unlimited balls for one price. Two putting greens offer ample practice space. Overall, a great place to play golf.
And a very quiet place to play. The homes are set back and very seldom here anything but the wildlife.

Great course, great value

The Bill Love layout is excellent (challenging and yet fair). With six sets of tees, it was easy to find a set of tees to make my round enjoyable. The condition of the course is amazing, considering the course is only 2 years old. I especially loved the bridges and the care that was put into protecting the natural environment within the golf course. Beautiful and memorable! The staff welcomed me when I arrived and took care of my every need while I was there. It was an enjoyable day and I will be back soon!
