Most beautiful course I’ve ever played!

The course was amazing from the tee to green. The greens were just aerated which was disappointing. I can’t wait to get back there when the greens are rolling true. Picturesque views were worth the price of admission.

Must Play Course in the NC Mountains

My favorite course to play in the NC mountains. The views, elevations changes and wow-factor holes are second to none in NC.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course

I definitely will go back. I have wanted to play there for some time and was not disappointed. The greens were some of the best that I have been on. The condition of the course was outstanding, and the views cannot be described, only experienced. The staff were super friendly and very accomodating. Playing as a single, for 11 of the last 18 holes, i had to wait every shot, not being allowed to play through as a single player. This was no fault of the course or the staff, just some fellows that need a crash course in course etiquette. The saving grace was that I was able to enjoy the views that were present at each hole. GolfNow needs to update their directions to get to the course. I was directed to a location 55 miles from the course. Notwithstanding that, definitely a great experience.

Incredible

Old Beau is an incredible mountain course.

It is truly a mountain course... not just foothills. Some of the holes are so interesting.

The course is particularly challenging if you're unfamiliar with the course. Bring a few extra golf balls.

Fantastic view and green

#14 and 15 have fantastic autumn mountain view. I love the green I wonder why other courses can not keep their greens like this. Drive 150 miles from home is the only problem but. Still worth it

Was this???

Was this a 5 hour round? Yes. Was there a ranger enforcing pace of play? No. Looking past all of that, was this the most fun that I have ever had on a golf course? Yes. This was my first time on a mountain course and I hope that it is not the last. The layout is fantastic and when you have to wait on 6 slow foresomes in front of you, there is always a panoramic view to behold. I couldn’t tell you what my score was because I had so much fun that, at the end of the day, I did not care enough to add it up. I will remember so much about this round of golf for a long time. Thank you.

Beautiful and Challenging Course

Mountain golf at its finest. There is a lot of elevation, blind shots to greens/fairways, and side/up hill lies. Bring your A game. Good news if your game suffers you only have to look around you at the stunning vistas and nature - and all is well. Highly recommend this course.

Amazing Views

Probably one of the best back 9’s in North Carolina and the bent grass greens are perfect.

Spectacular views! (Yardage book mandatory for 1st-timers!!!!!!!)

Views are truly incredible! Staff is friendly. Course is in great shape. It was our first time playing OB and by the third hole we realized we desperately needed a yardage book because of the blind shots. Pro shop was out. We lost count of how many holes we had to ride up to be sure we wouldn’t hit into the group in front. We got hit into three times. My point is not to degrade the course -the course is excellent and in great shape!- but to convey the VERY importance of knowing where to hit and when to lay up. I can personally assure you you’ll score several strokes better and save a few balls.

Great course! We’ll play again….with a yardage book! :)
