Great Test of Golf

We played three times from the tips and enjoyed each one. Course is quite a challenge at that length and the wind was up, along with the son. We were first off all three days and finished before the heat of the day leaving the beach for that.
Many challenging holes with great risk reward opportunities. Course was in great shape for midsummer North Carolina sun and heat and we felt a bargain for quality golf at a fair price.
Will take it on again if I ever vacation anywhere near Atlantic Beach or Emerald Isle.

Great Course even for a winter round

Weather was a factor as winds added to the challenge of playing a dormant wet track. Always a fun round whether winter or summer.

Very nice facility

Very nice course and facility. Staff was very friendly. Carts are new. Only complaint is the wind. Sometimes tough to putt as you had to brace against the wind. We'll play it again hopefully on a day that is less windy.

Excellent Course

It was my first time playing this terrific course. I was greeted by two friendly and helpful staff, one of whom took me to my cart and explained where everything was. There were free range balls on offer on a well-maintained range that offered numerous targets and turf to hit off. The course is a serious layout. I played from the gold tees which were apparently 5800 yards but played more like 6100 in the cold and the wind.

The only downside is that if you have mobility issues as I do it is a tough walk. In fact, it damned near killed me. I should have checked before I went out to see if they had blue flags and could turn off the automatic shutoff when you venture beyond the cart signs.

In any case, I thought the course was terrific. It was in great shape, especially the greens, and I enjoyed the layout, even though I found it pretty tough. I definitely recommend that anyone in the area play here at least once. You won’t be disappointed.

Great condition

Greens were in great shape. Staff was friendly. Tee boxes and fairways were in good condition for this time of year. Complimentary range balls was a nice touch as well.

Very Nice

Excellent course layout. Demanding but fair. This is not a walking course, must ride due to length between some greens and next tee.

Hidden gem

It's a bit off the beaten path but definitely worth the trip. Greens rolled true and fairways were well taken care of. It's a long and challenging course and makes you have to score when given the chance. Play it when you can

First time at Beaufort

Wonderful course to play. Went by previous reviews to pick a course to play and was not disappointed. Four of us drove 11/2 hours to play and was well pleased with court. Course in excellent shape and look forward to playing again because of not knowing exactly where to place shots and watch out for little ponds behind hills.

Not a walking course. Otherwise not bad

Course was in good condition. At check in I asked if I could walk the course. The person gave the literal answer “yes”. But practically it is a challenging course for walking. I think that the distance from 8 green to 9 tee box was several hundred yards if you followed the path. If you try to cut the distance you need to cross two drainage ditches which did not seem safe. It would be so much better if they constructed a couple foot bridges. There were a few other long stretches from green to next tee.

They are not able to put a bridge in between the ditch because the grass road in the middle is not the golf course property.

Enjoyed it

For the amount of rain that the course received the night before I was impressed with how it handled. The greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Putts rolled true, and we didn’t have any plugged balls. Rain or shine this place is ready. Since I normally play in tree-lined mountain courses, this was a welcome change to a more open, windier test.

Fun course to play in good condition

First time playing this course and it was very enjoyable. Course was in great condition from tee to green with the exception of the bunkers, which they are reworking. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone.
