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.

Top Tier Value

First time playing the Pines and it was GREAT! Staff is incredibly welcoming and hospitable. Booked thru Golf Now and received amazing value for the quality of the course. Felt as though we had the course to ourselves. The grounds were in very good condition and surprisingly dry after substantial rainfall. Greens were fast and pin placement was challenging but achievable. I will return often, it’s worth repeated visits. This course is a hidden gem!

The pines a hidden gem

The gentleman in the pro shop was great

The course is open, water and sand bunkers everywhere swing easy and keep your head down and you'll stay out of them.

Take the time to play there you'll enjoy it.

Getting a face lift

The Pines is seeing some new features starting with the addition of yardage stakes and some new fairway bunkers. They are also working on existing bunkers and bulkheads. The course challenges you to play smart golf just gripping it and ripping it will put you in some difficult positions or cost you some strokes. The greens are firm and small so accurate approach shots are a must Looking forward to warmer weather that will stimulate the grass growing.

Coming Back!

Played the Pines for the first time in a long time after leaving there during the YMCA days. My son practiced there this fall with the Camden school team & it still had a ways to go. But they have put a ton of work into the place the last few months and oh my goodness what a difference!! Greens were rolling on par with the higher end courses in the area and the bunkers they are keeping were playable & very decent. I won’t be renewing my membership at the Carolina Club/The Pointe this year but going to join the Pines and keep my money here in this area, the Beach courses don’t need it.

Elizabeth City needs Golf & The Pines!

Headed in the right direction! Awesome work!
