Perfect weather

Oh So short

Arrived 20 minutes early to a complete logical mess. Wet weather early caused a total mismanagement of the pretty full schedule in the morning. People waiting well over an hour with no movement. No carts or staff to help the pro. By 11 perfect weather and still sending everyone off the back. I stood there for 90 minutes saw 4 people on 1. Also, allowed several groups of 6 plus to tee off together....

All that said, the course was in decent shape, greens were pretty true.

Pleasantly surprised

After reading previous reviews of this course I was hesitant to book it. I am happy that I did. The course is short and narrow but in good shape. I will play it again.

Fun course close to the OBX

Nice course for the price and to be able to play while in OBX. Was a forgiving for myself being a beginner. The layout was a bit odd but overall a great day on the course. Will definitely go back next vacation.

Fairways are pretty sandy throughout, and very patchy. Greens were SUPER rough. Beverage Cart never made it out.

Holly Ridge GC

Good course if you need to just knock off the rust or work on your game. Course itself is not in good shape. Greens had just aerated and sanded. Fairways Avery thin and overrun with anthills. On plus side, we were basically on course by ourselves , so no one pushing us, even though we still played in 3 1/2 hours. Enjoyable day.!

Review

This is a course I play when visiting the outer Banks. It appears to be under new management and I see that there are improvements being made. Greens could be a little bigger and fairways over seeded to promote more grass growth. Overall it's a course I would recommend and play again .

Friendly staff

The course had not fully grown in for the season, so the fairways were kind of sparse. Even so, during full summer, this course probably would not be lush and pristine. That said, if you want to play near the OBX, this is the most reasonably priced course around. The staff is very friendly and it has a good driving range.

First time at Holly RIdge

Perfect for those just starting out. Harder than it looks because of some narrow windows. Not just driver and iron holes. Not very busy on a Monday and we did not have to wait or be pushed by others There is hidden water so know where you are hitting.

Backyard course

This course looked like it was in someone backyard. Greens were small and fast! The fairways and tee boxes were nonexistent and don’t even get me started on the bunkers. This course is worth half of what you pay. Only nice thing about the course were the staff were friendly and pace was good. I recommend this course to someone that is new to the game and is just trying to get out there.
