Beautiful Vistas

Views from many tees and greens were fantastic. I think it we played Olde Beau 3 or 4 times we could figure out the blind shots which were many. Will play again.

Great course

Great course in great shape. Weather was perfect and greens were a bit soft but good speed. The bugs were really bad and pro shop didn’t have any bug spray. Make sure to put on the bug spray during your next round at olde beau.

Always a good time

The course was in great condition as always. Greens and fairways were in good condition. The only negative was the slow pace of play. It was a holiday weekend so I guess that is to be expected. Will definitely make a return trip soon.

Thought I was in Heaven!

This was my first time in NC and the first course I’ve played east of AZ. When I pulled up to the entrance, I thought I was in Augusta at The Masters. Then when I got on the course, I thought I had died and went to heaven. I’ve played many great courses in CA, NV, AZ and HI. But, this was my favorite of them all. And…it was less expensive than all of the other great courses I’ve ever played. I absolutely loved every aspect of Old Beau!

A beautiful place to play

Olde Beau never disappoints for a beautiful setting and challenging layout. Today the pace of play was a little slow and there was maintenance work going on and workers left equipment in the fairways during play on a couple holes. They could have and should have been instructed on locating said equipment in consideration of the players. We had to dodge the irrigation sprinklers a couple of times. No big deal but again crews should understand that players have precedence.

Great scenery

Beautiful Course, great scenery. I think back 9 is more difficult with some difficult and unusual golf holes. I may have been more tired but pretty hilly course especially the back. Temperatures are also 8-10 degrees cooler up on the mountain. Great test of mountain golf.

Great course, would recommend

Great course with the views to back it up.

Staff is always professional and welcoming.

Course was in excellent condition and pace of play was better than expected.

The views, particularly on the back nine are fantastic, great value for the quality and beauty of this course.

I recommend this gem of a course to anyone in the area.

Beauty in the hard road !

Stopped in on our way back from the US Open @ Pinehurst .

11 AM tee time . Staff was great and gave us some yardage books as newbies. My daughters are advanced college golfers and as the round unfolded the amount of blind shots and surprises rivaled the incredible beauty of the track .

Highly recommend playing this for the experience of the elevation changes and rare beauty. A bit more detailed yardage book aside, this is one you could only truly evaluate if you played it several times .

As the saying goes “Old Beau Knows” (how to surprise you!)

Very nice course. What a challenge the elevation changes made. The ups and downs was lots of fun. We stayed overnight on the grounds. Very nice resort.

Great mountain course with some amazing views

course in great shape except the greens which still had evidence of previous aeration. Back 9 much more difficult than the front. Would definitely play this again if I'm back in the area and would recommend the course to anyone who hasn't played here before.

Nice, but TOUGH

Quite a golf course. Starts out hilly and gets steeper and steeper. By the end, I felt like I was hiking the Appalachian Trail. Beautiful views throughout. One disappointment, though. I realize that maintenance needs to be done, but I think it's only fair to notify golfers when the greens have been aerified and sanded. These putted terribly. I think the course would have been impossible with really quick greens, but these were slow and irregularly bumpy. Still a very nice, if exhausting, round.

Beautiful, fun, and difficult

A mountain golf challenge with many hills, blind shots and challenging greens to hit. I believe the course is rated below its challenge level. Overall it a a great challenge with beautiful views. One of my favorite courses.

Stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains

The course is very challenging when playing for the first time, with many blind shots and shots from different elevations. Very scenic and a good bang for the buck.
