What a deal, er, I mean steal

Outstanding course underplayed. Fair but challenging from all tees. This is not a driver-wedge course. Greens are excellent and subtle. Fairways are ample. You must think and place to score. Staff is outstanding. Great pub 19th hole for post-round. Great $50-75 course but for $25? Are you kidding. Play at any price.

The course was in great shape and a must play when in Pinehurst!

If you like to use every club in your bag, Little River is a course that you will want to play. The front and back sides are almost like two different golf courses. The front side is long and fairly wide open while the back requires shot making and strategy. It is a good test of golf and the course was in great condition especially considering the rain that we have been having.

Hilly course, fun layout.

Greens were in good shape......rough needed mowing in many areas. Some bunkers needed sand, others had some cheap red sand with rocks in it added. Cartpaths were very rough.

Tough but great.

The course is in great shape.
The greens are really fast but the ball rolls great.
The bunkers could have had more sand in them, they were pretty firm.
The first hole and a par 3 on the back 9 are a little intimidating because of the lake you have to hit over.
I will be going back there again.

The starter was very friendly and the course was in great shape

I thought since I got the tee time on golf now and I guess I was starting time late ( I didn't think I was late) but the pro seemed to rush me out without being very friendly . My group was hitting from the first fairway so I caught up with them.

Beautiful and well maintained, but need a forecaddy on some of the tee shots.

Enjoyable layout with mix of difficult and moderate holes. More yardage markers would help, and the cart paths have lots of tree roots.

Fun, firm and fast!

Fun course to play. Open fairways, some long challenging holes. Firm greens the day I played recently. In some cases a runner onto the green is your best option. Greens were hard and approach shots had a hard time holding. Fast greens, unfortunately 3 putted 5 times. Not that I necessarily hit terrible putts but I would roll some 20 footers 5 feet by and missed way too many of those. It is a very nice course to play in the Pinehurst area and also has accomodations and very nice clubhouse available,

Loved it!!!!

Very nice course. Played from the tips (7000+ yards).
Minus a bad hole (scored 8 on par 5), shot 82!!!

I liked the layout, the greens...nice!!!

On a side note, order your food early (at least 1/2 hour before tee time).

Nice layout with a couple very interesting holes

The course was still in the spring transition phase so wasn't in its best condition but was good for the time of year. We enjoyed the round even though play was a little slower than we had expected given the number of people playing. Would like to play it again in the summer but it was well worth the $30 golf now price and if in the Pinehurst area again we'll add this to our golf agenda.

18 holes to remember

Being a Pinehurst residence for over 12 years, LIttle River is one of the areas best courses. The course is challenging yet fair. Each hole is completely different from the last, which makes it a memorable experience when you play here. The Green are perfect and the layout is pristine. Anyone traveling out of town, must make Little River a must!
