large field with large random greens

Great staff and packed but the course conditions were not good. Many weeds and difficult to distinguish fairways. Greens were decent but were generally all the same.
Would not play again.

Conveniently located and well maintained. There are some short par 4’s and 5’s interestingly enough. Fair number of par 3’s. Had an inexperienced golfer with me and they were able to enjoy the course and play well.

C you next Tuesday

I'm a local asked for the local discount. Was told I'd get it but the rude lady at the counter charged me full price the course isn't worth playing for 59 dollars it's basically a hay field. If you work with the public you should be a little nicer.

No frills, quick and forgiving course

$38 for 9. Easy enough course to navigate. No beverage cart and very limited options in clubhouse. Great for a quick round!

Overpriced and they don’t have carts

Paid $32 to walk 9, this place isn’t even close to being worth that price lol. Also had to walk cause they didn’t have any carts at 9:30 am

Poor

The service was sub par from the beginning. They would not let me play a twosome and threesome back to back as I scheduled. They finally did after I told them we only took one car. They did not have a ranger. If they did, they would have known the twosome ahead of us was hitting 4+ balls off of every tee with no care with the people behind them.

Course was in good shape. Only downside to the course were the firm and abnormally small greens.

Do not waste your money

Personnel were great, extremely friendly. Carts are new and very nice. Range was very good. However, the course itself leaves much to be desired. The greens are small, uncut,,bumpy and Sandy. Worst greens I have ever played. Course is very short, yardages on scorecards not even close on most holes. Rough and fairways were cut the same length. Hole #9 & #18 end fat from the clubhouse and no drinks available on the course. Pace of play very slow Huge power poles and lines run all across the course. For $60 I expected much better. Will not play here again. Pay the big bucks if you want to play the OBX.

Pay the extra money at the links or seascapes

If you enjoy playing a course where the greens have giant divots and craters of sand in them, this is your calling. Wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone, especially not for $60. The best part of my round was leaving the parking lot.

Aeration and sandy greens.

Course is listed on Golfnow and had no previous warning of aeration before arriving to the course on day of play. Come to find out the back nine was closed due to aeration and front nine greens were all sand filled and had multiple tire tracks per green. Course was in awful condition and not worth $54 at all. Would not recommend to anyone who plays golf.

Aeration going on.

Front 9 greens were recently aerated and the back 9 are being done now. Coarse is short and player friendly. We had a good time and the club house is nice.

Front 9 closes

When we showed up we were told that we could only play the back 9 do to the front being closed. Was offered to play just nine but we ended up playing the back 9 twice since my administration fees included 18.
