Improvement Slow Down

It has been a couple of months since I last played the course so I was kind of disappointed in conditions. The fairways were not mowed, bunkers were not raked and had grass growing in them and the greens showed signs of damage. They added markers and targets in the range but hitting area was not mowed so it felt like hitting from the rough. In its current condition it would be hard to recommended to friends.

Cheap Golf in need of Maintenance

Rate was very reasonable. Interesting course with challenging holes however badly in need of maintenance. Greens were okay but fairways loaded with weeds and not much turf. Ok for a quick round. You get what you pay for.

Actively Improving Course

I started playing about a year ago, and this is my local course. It’s recently (within the last couple of years) under new ownership after sitting for an extended season. The current leadership is definitely putting money in, redoing the bunkers, adding new bunkers, clearing dead trees, and changing the layouts of some holes. I always have a good time playing The Pines, and I’m excited to see where this course is in a year or so!

Amazing bang for the buck

Can’t get a better deal than this place! Worth the drive from OBX to avoid the ridiculous prices. Greens were in great shape and course was nice and green. Tee boxes need a little work, but not bad!

Players lunch special.

Always enjoy playing this course. Also , My wife a I enjoy a nice cold beer after rounds but was told this special was discontinued. We usually order lunch with the beer but I guess will prob stop getting lunch after rounds. We always looking forward having a cold beer specially after a warm /hot round.

Driver friendly course

Generous fairways with good turf conditions. Premium on approach shots as many require crossing water hazards. Greens were well manicured. Definitely will plan a return trip

Summertime conditions

The course was not bad, although the conditions are summertime golf. Fairways hard and greens not very receptive. Gotta play Texas style golf and roll the ball up by hitting short and how that you don't roll off lol.

The greens were extremely challenging. Small, and firm, you needed perfect shots to keep the ball on the green.

Pros and Cons

First time I played here I hit my first hole in one and that was awesome. The rest of that round wasnt as cool lol. This time I brought my girlfriend who doesn’t play, she just wanted to come enjoy the weather with me and when we got going towards the first tee box they yelled at me to come back and pay $12 just for her to sit with me. That’s the DUMBEST thing I’ve ever heard. I lost my interest to ever play there after that. The course definitely needs a gps to help find where the heck you’re supposed to go because every hole is right next to the other and the flags are caddy corner in ways. Greens were Sandy from air raid I guess but I had a good time still.
