Not a pushover

Fun course that looks like it has no teeth. Don’t be fooled , this track has elevated greens that require landing skills if you’re going to score. Well worth the drive from the Outer Banks to get a good challenge at an affordable price.

FunCourse for all levels

Everyone who helped me were excellent and professional and worked me into a tight scheduled course play. A ladies tournament was under way, but it was fun to observe them along the way, as well.

Worth the drive from the Ouer Banks

Nice layout, moderately long, plenty of water. Greens and fairways in great shape. Not much play. Very nice and friendly staff. Well worth the drive from the Outer Banks, would definitely consider playing again. Somewhat hard to find as the course in now affiliated with the YMCA, no mention of that on the website. Thanks.

It's a shame.

It's a shame what has happened to this course since the change of ownership. I've played here for years both casually and in tournaments. This course used to be one of the nicest maintained places you could play in Northeast North Carolina. Not sure I'll be going back unless some major changes are made in the funds spent to keep up the maintenance. I feel bad for the members who have been there for years, they are friendly and lots of fun to play with. They don't deserve their little piece of heaven to be let go like this!

Great all around course

Awesome course for all levels of golfers. Very well maintained and a very friendly staff! Be careful as the layout can get a little confusing at certain holes in terms of tee box placement. Five stars though for maintenance of course, friendly staff, and value
