The greens were the only thing in nice shape

Checked in early and was told to come back in 45 min and he may have a cart for us, there were 9 carts sitting out front, finally after a long wait we checked again and we got a cart, went to first tee, a group was waiting to tee off, they asked us what time our tee time was, ours was at 1:30 they said go ahead ours was 2:00 ,It seems to me they were sending full price people out ahead of us.Making us wait because we had a discounted rate I would Only recommend this course for a discounted rate , it is not worth full price.

Too much money for the course.

The greens fees were originally 59 dollars, but I found a great deal on golfnow. Also found a promo code for half off so that helped. The course was in fair shape. The greens were small and the fairways weren't the best. This course was OK for the average golfer who wants to drink beer and have fun. If I had to pay full price, I would have went down the road a couple of miles and spent the extra 10 dollars for a nicer course.

This course needs a lot of work.

This course is not in good shape by any standards, should be rated only one star.
It does not have a ball cleaner on most holes. The pro-shop staff was not very friendly or helpful. There are very few signs directing you to the holes and all signs are barely readable. The fairways and greens are in rough shape. It is definitely a beginners only course and not worth the money being charged.

Save your money and visit a local driving range.

This course is a hay field. Greens, fairways, and tee boxes were in terrible shape. Yardages are different on the card verses the boards on tees. Course is poorly marked. Staff not friendly. There were a couple of positives. Carts were very nice and clean (cart guy needs tipped). Took out a personal cooler. Coarse was not crowed (positive and a negative). Pay an additional 25 bucks and play a nice course!

This course is a waste

This course is an ok course for beginners to go to, but if you want a decent place for a decent price do not resort to here. Greens look like a tye-dye tee shirt and fairways cannot be differentiated from the rough.

Not Good

This course is a short course that driver out of your hands on many holes. It is also not maintained very well. For $60 I would expect a lot better. I will not play it again. They should be charging about $25 not $60.

unbeatable price

The course was not in the best of shapes. Greens were average with the back nine being in better shape. Great value for players who don't require the best courses because they play only 1 or 2 times a year. Anytime on the course will be fun and we had fun playing here.

Got the hot deal, so 17$ to run an okay course was worth. Wouldn't pay full price after the fact.

Played a quick pace 2-3 hours for 18 for 2 of us. The holes are almost all straight and very short holes. The course doesn't have a real cart path. The greens were medicore. They were cut nicely, but the grass was not "green" grass it was like a short fairway. It was17$, so I was not bothered. I wouldn't pay more than 20 bucks to play at this course after finding out how it was set up. Golf is enjoyable either way, but during peak hours this place would get you fairly ticked off if your an avid golfer. The staff was very friendly and the golf carts were in good shape.

Worth the money, because its inexpensive.

This is the least expensive golf course near the outer banks. Its about 10 minutes over the bridge. It was very inexpensive, but you get what you pay for, it wasn't bad, but there was little impressive about it. There was absolutely no cart vendors or ranger presence. Extremely slow can go unregulated.

Great experience!

From the second I walked into the pro shop the staff was very friendly. They were ready for my arrival and explained where everything was.

The course was well maintained and they were watering the greens before and after play. It was a very nice value for the dollar. I will play there again and would not hesitate to recommend it to others!

Good value

Greens were well maintained, fairways and tee boxes had a few rough areas. Rained during our round and the course did not fully drain. Cart paths are not paved or graveled throughout. Great value at the golfnow rate.
