Course is average for the area. Greens could be in better shape. Signage for holes are lacking. Pro Shop was lacking with only a limited availability of drinks and no hotdogs.

Good course for the money

They look like a course in the middle of upgrading. New golf carts were very nice but missing divot sand containers. Lots of new plantings to show where fairways run tight to each other. Could use more signage to direct you between holes. Overall good course for the money

Not bad. Front is iffy. Back is a nice layout. Most Greens were less than desirable and furry especially on the front. For the price you could play some much better courses. Definitely a beginner’s course.

Not what I expected

Not much of a challenge fairly easy course to get through. Not many bunkers and some of the holes were not very long.

Could be a lot better

Course needs help. Greens are tiny. No difference between fairway and rough. Tee boxes are small! With some investment it could be a decent course.

We loved Holly Ridge GC

We had a great time at HRGC. Course was in good shape for as hot and dry as it has been. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend it to everyone!

This course stinks

Had to wait 40 minutes to tee off because they ran out of carts. Fairways were horribly maintained and completely dried up. The greens were pretty much fairways, and extremely small. The driving range was basically hitting off dirt.

Greens Need Work

Friendly staff and light crowd were good. Fairways not terrible. Tiny light shag carpet greens were a big disappointment.

Good 18 hole budget course

This course is a great alternative to the $150 a round courses on the beach. Greens are not great but the layout is good and the staff is great!

Conveniently located and well maintained. There are some short par 4’s and 5’s interestingly enough. Fair number of par 3’s. Had an inexperienced golfer with me and they were able to enjoy the course and play well.
