Little Jewel in Elizabeth City

What a pleasant surprise, aside from the confusing chris cross layout and they didn't cut the greens in the morning, I enjoyed this fun tricky layout. From the blue tees plenty enough of a challenge, small well guarded greens, elevation changes, outstanding water holes lots of carry over water to virtually island greens and many obstacles. From the tips quite a challenge.

Can't wait to play it again.

Needs a lot of work.

Many Tee box's not mowed.

Fairways were in bad condition, as was most rough.

There was still debris on some greens from a storm a few days prior, Guess they don't own any blowers.

Several cups were not set at the proper level, and some cup holes had been ovulid out making the cup not sit straight.

It seems the flags are to big for the cups as several times the whole cup came out when trying to remove the flag for putting.

Course was just OK. There were a few gimmicky holes, but more holes were just in poor shape. The overlapping fairways with no barriers (natural or otherwise) left several groups hitting into us.

Saturday afternoon

Have played this course several times, always a fun time. A few greens were a little dry but overall course was in really good shape. Will definitely return in the near future for another round

glad to see it is open again

greens are rock hard. fairways are decent. Staff is fantastic. It will take another year of work to bring the course back after being closed during covid. Stop in the Bistro for a cold one and a great sandwich.

Nice Layout, but NEEDS WORK

Nice staff, not a bad track. The course however was in the worst shape of any place I’ve played for a while. Not being able to find balls in the fairway, unplayable bunkers, greens that had severe damage. Greens can be damaged by weather, but there’s not a real good reason that the fairways and bunkers were in the shape they were. Won’t be back until I know things are much better. Again, nice layout and kind staff. Course needs some serious love.

Remarkable Improvement!

Last time I played this, it had just come back from bankruptcy and abandonment, and 7 months later it had nice greens, and decent fairways for the winter. Hole no. 4 still has failing bulkhead as well as no. 13 as I recall, but these did not prevent play. This course is tight and challenging and all holes are about 8-10 foot elevated so if you don't get it on the green it will roll back to give you a second chance, lol.

I would recommend the course to play....just bring your "A" game!

Course is always nice to play, but it was very wet that day. Still like the course after all it’s January.
