Typical Carolinas course on steroids

VERY scenic with constant shifts in elevation and dips and moguls you won’t see from the tee.

DON’T GET PIGGY.

A shot into the trees is gone forever.

Morning greens are soft and receptive then turn into marble when they dry out. Watch for mud around the greens.

Par 5 #17 is a double black diamond.

At $34 for a Friday morning holiday weekend tee time, it’s stupid cheap.

My favorite Carolina course in spite of a pre-ordained high score.

Great place

Amazing scenery, challenging course but very fun. Hitting the fairway is a must, being a little off here can hurt a lot. Would definitely recommend.

Give it a try

A friend and I drove up Thursday morning to play this course. I had heard a lot about it and driven by it numerous times.

The course was a wonderful mountain course with fantastic vistas. The views were as good as was the course. Being from the mountains I have a different appreciation for these views. We will play this course again and I am already looking forward to it.

Great scenery

Very great scenery and its peaceful. Love the layout . Greens are very firm and small so precision is a must. Fairways are hard as a rock and hard to get a lot of spin due to this. Definitely need more grass in the fairway but waant horrible. Bunkers are horrible they need alot of work. Tee boxes were in good shape. Very challenging course from the tips.

Enjoyable Round!

We enjoyed our day at Old Beau. Have played there many times over the years. Temperature is 10 degrees cooler than courses below the mountain. We had the course to ourselves on this Friday afternoon. Course was in great shape, greens especially! Staff was friendly and helpful! Plan to play it again this summer!

Very beautiful golf course

First off the staff was great. Very friendly. Course is very well kept and manicured. It is the definition of a mount course with many elevation changes and lots of scenery. Some very challenging fairways and greens but I thoroughly enjoyed playing there. Played from the white tees and glad I did. May have been too difficult from the blues or gold tees. I’m a 11 handicap.

Must Play

I have played Olde Beau many times, it is one of the most scenic courses in North Carolina. The conditioning is fabulous, the mountain views are awesome and the facilities are great. I would not recommend it for the average walker, you will need to be in excellent shape. The course has many challenging holes so bring your A game! love the course.

Wow!

This course is stunning! I have played quite a few mountain courses in the decades I’ve been coming here, but this one is special. It’s beautiful and challenging but without being unfair. You are rewarded for being in the fairway, but still allowed room to miss without having to dig back into the bag. There is a high level of risk reward. The greens were large and surprisingly flat making for a fun experience. I’ll be back!

Check your cart

This was the third time playing Olde Beau. Is was as I remember. Greens, bunkers and tee boxes were in great shape. Fairways were good for the most part. Incredible views from many areas throughout the course. The issue we had was with the golf carts themselves. We had to go through 3 carts before we found one that was safe to maneuver up and down this very hilly layout. The first one was unable to make it up an incline from a standing start and had to back down a hill to get a running start to make it up the hills. We changed out carts at the turn. The second cart was even worse as the brakes would lock up even going at a slow pace down a hill. This was very concerning as there are many steep inclines and sharp turns to maneuver. When we were able to get a phone signal,we notified the pro shop and they brought a third cart out to us. No apologies from anyone in the pro shop for this. Love the golf course but will very likely not return.

Extremely challenging back nine

Olde Beau is not a course for the faint hearted. Even riding in a cart it is physically demanding with many changes of elevation. The mountain views are spectacular, handling the golf cart demands extreme care on some of the very steep cart paths. Number seventeen is a hold one never forgets.
