Great place to play!

I play at The Pines a lot. Staff is always friendly and willing to chat it up. I always bring my kids who are 5 & 3 with me to play in the mornings to beat the rush. The staff is extremely supportive of young kids getting on the course to learn. Always impressed each time I go. Course is getting back into shape. Greens are beginning to roll more true. Looking forward to getting back out there.

The Pines

Course was in good shape for this time of year. Staff was very nice, we had a great lunch also. I wouldn't recommend starting anywhere near lunch time. They have a bunch of regular players that feel they own the place. They start around noon, so stay clear. It's a shame this was the worst part of this course.

A MUST PLAY if you're in the OBX or Elizabeth City Area

This is an Incredible Track if your in OBX or Virginia Beach DEFINITELY worth the drive everything about this course was great fairways greens staff if this course was in a more populated area they would attract quite the attention. A little over an hour drive from OBX. This is a REAL Golf Course helps to be able to move it both ways off the Tee. No Gimmicks just Great Golf.

Staff arrogant

Person working desk as soon as I walked began complaining that GN is not listening to them and they have no Tee-Times available for the time I booked. Made me feel very bad about the entire process. I doubt I will be returning to this course again...

Maybe Next time.

I know I said "excellent to all the above" this course is very nice usually, and that is why I rated it this way.
Unfortunately it has rained almost every day here in Northeast North Carolina and the course retained water, so where it landed was as far as you got and it was Golf Cart on Path Only, and my shoes were soaked and of course I hit in swampy conditions alot.
Just wouldn't have been fair to say "Fair" it is a challenging course that I have yet to say I have conquered it, so "I'll Be Back".

Ok course - can't hit driver on range

I guess I t's worth the drive if you live within 45 mins but wouldn't recommend the course if you are driving further then that. Not super challenging but it's in pretty decent shape. A few of the holes were fun but not sure if I'd play there again. Can't hit driver on the driving range so don't expect to practice with it before your round.

This is a great course....enjoyed it very much.

This is a very good course. The staff is friendly and courteous. The owner has taken a very personal interest its development and operations. The pro Dave Masseti seems to be an excellent manager and welcomes each guest with genuine friendliness and professionalism. I enjoyed playing the Pines and look forward to my next visit.
