Westport Golf Course

Been playing the game for nearly 30 years. I should’ve known there was a reason that it was the only course in the area with early morning availability just 3 days prior to booking. I just relocated to NC about 10 wks ago, so it’s all new to me.

Absolute cow pasture ~ this course should be shutdown and refurbished. An utter embarrassment of a course.

I’m a high handicap golfer and have played a few nice courses but I’m not picky where I play. This course was nice in that it has a lot of elevation changes a few hazards but mostly open and playable for any skill level. The course conditions weren’t great. There’s not much fairway, many of the greens were not great but it was all playable. The cost was good worth what I paid 35 with a cart. However on the day I played it was cart path only. I really didn’t enjoy that, so check before you arrive.

This should be a $20/18 holes price point, even on the weekends. Course is a mess, as much dirt as there is grass on fairways, carts are 100 years old (one of ours brakes barely worked), no beverage/snack cart and the clubhouse is basically a trailer type set up.

I don't need Torrey Pines - but this place was bunk and they charge way too much for the type of course it is.

The entire course is in terrible conditions. Tee box had weeds all over it plus the dirt was so hard I broke 3 tees just trying to push them into the dirt. Fairways are covered in dry hard clay patches. Greens are unplayable, I’m pretty sure if you drove over the green in a golf cart it wouldn’t do any harm to it at all. I paid 100$ for 2 players with a cart 18 holes. Terrible terrible terrible course.

We have played here before and enjoyed it. This day was not a good day. We had an 8:40am tee time. Apparently they scheduled a tournament that morning also. After checking in and being sent to the starter we were told that we might get off at 9am. Start was about 9:10am. It was 2 hours before we finished the 4th hole. What was really disappointing is that we were only able to do 9 of our scheduled 18 hoes due to the dleayed start and slow play.

Red tee boxes difficult to find and in some cases just not marked. Tee boxes are not well groomed. Lots of weeds in the fairway.

Staff is not professional or friendly. Layout is okay but a lot of money considering the condition of the course.

Tried Westport for a second time yesterday. I will not be back. The lack of care at Westport was evident at the first hole. Although there was a storm the night before, which accounted for the greens not being mowed, they should have at least taken a few minutes to blow the debris off of them. The cups were cut in areas of the greens that were unputtable due to green damage and didn’t need to be. The staff was nice but until Westport cares more about the golf course conditions and golfers, I don’t care to be back.

I live close so this is a review based on my proximity. Price is right most of the time. They usually have day of availability. Course is in ok shape but rains have done some work on it.

Clubhouse has a nice staff and they will get you set up. Pretty relaxed. I think there is a new course manager who is trying to make a difference.

Course has lots of dead spots, manicured for daily play, and the layout is nice. Like almost any course just needs some $ & TLC to be a good course. There is no driving range but there is a putting/chipping green for warm up.

It's not really the best kept course but it's also not priced to be that. It could be an amazing course if they would keep up with it, but they really don't. I enjoy playing it if I don't really have anywhere else to go and I want to save some money. The greens are hit or miss, you could get one hole where it is about perfect and one hole where it's mostly sand. Tee boxes are not good at all and some fairway's lack grass completely (in parts).

I golfed at Westport last week, and was extremely disappointed. Having played the course numerous times over the past three decades, I have seen it go from its plush conditions of its inception, to disrepair, to overall improvement under Stan Overton's direction, to various shades of further disrepair. The conditions of the course have never been worse. Greens were bad, tee boxes were worse, fairways were lacking a major ingredient -- grass. Sadly, this course is ruined, and it will take a monumental effort to recover. I pity the folks who have homes on this golf course, as there are no positive elements to enhance their home values. Won't be playing this course again unless and until huge improvements are made.

Had to play the back nine twice because of green aeration. No notice on the app that this was scheduled. Recent storm had an excessive amount of downed trees and debris. Not the courses fault, but could have prioritized clean up before green aeration. Tee boxes trash looked like it hadn’t been emptied for a week

Well you can’t have it all. Westport is appropriately priced for its situation. This course just needs some love as the layout is still challenging.

The staff in the clubhouse was the rudest I’ve ever experienced. Showed up for my tee time and asked for an extra cart. Was told it would cost 50 dollars. The guy at the register said he didn’t care what the price online was that was “his rule” riders pay full price. Drove an hour to play here and was told to leave because I asked for another cart and even when I said the rider would just ride in the cart with us was told I had to pay 50 extra dollars and cussed out. Never been treated like this at a course and I was as polite as I could be. I don’t know how the man running the register has gotten through life to this point because he was the most disrespectful person I’ve met. DO NOT GO TO THIS COURSE!! Worst experience ever and I’ve probably played 100 golf courses in north and south Carolina
