Rolling hills with tight fairways on many holes. Relatively short compared to your average course, but elevation changes compensate. Several holes give the opportunity to go for the green off the tee. However, this tends to slow down play. Many fairways are sloped, so you have to place your shots. I enjoyed the round, but would only play on a weekday. It has a 5+ hour round on a weekend feel.

Played after a week of rain and course was cart path only. Greens didn't seem like they were cut and were very slow. The course was well maintained from tee to green. Go to Golfnow or TeeOff to get better rate than $71.

No. 5 doesn't have the reputation of No. 2 or 8, but should be incorporated into any trip to Pinehurst. If you play one of the championship courses, you can play 1, 3 or 5 for cart fee only. Challenging holes over rolling hills with several dog-legs and forced carries over water. Pay attention to the grain of the greens. With the grain, putts can be very fast. Against the grain, velcro. Played 18 holes in 2hrs and 15 minutes on a weekend. Awesome!
Look for the bale of turtles on the 12th tee.

Course was in excellent condition and very challenging. Course played longer than yardage indicates. Rolling hills, dog-legs, and well bunkered with classic Donald Ross greens. It takes a few times to get the hang of where to and where not to hit the approaches to the greens. Staff was very friendly and it was a great experience.

Amazingly, it was a calm day and there was no wind. Played on a Sunday when the Eagles were playing and had the course to myself. The greens were fast and the rough was difficult to find your ball. Fairways were recently aerated and plugs were lying everywhere.
Mandatory 1 star deduction for no driving range. Yes they have a practice net at the clubhouse, but it's hard to get a feel of ball flight hitting into a net. Very noisy with planes from PHL taking off every 30 seconds.

Long rough, narrow fairways and well bunkered greens. The course favors right handed golfer hitting a draw. Not sure about allowing walking 5somes to play during prime time weekend.

Played here for years and have never seen it so neglected. The greens were the best part except many had areas that were dirt. There was little difference between fairway and rough. Tee boxes were combo of grass, weeds and dirt. Sand traps had crab grass growing in most. Senior and ladies tees were markers placed in the rough.

Very well maintained golf course with a nice practice facility and friendly staff. Narrow fairways demanding accuracy from the tee. The greens rolled very nicely and had quite a bit of break that was not obvious. Pace of play was awesome. Don't pass a chance to play.

Greens are gigantic and undulating. Knowing distance to pin is critical to avoid 60ft putts. Pin locations didn't match flag on a few holes which was somewhat annoying. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Tees on driving range were mostly dirt.

The Golf Course at Glen Mills is always in great condition and the pace of play right at 4 hours thanks to 12 minute tee times. Requires accuracy more than distance. Found blue tees to offer more of a variety of approach shots compared to white tees where I found myself hitting driver-wedge on most par 4s. Keeping the ball on the short grass is the key and knowing the grain on the greens.

The course was in good shape and the rough was very challenging. Back tees gave a little more approach shot variety compared to white tee equivalent. The practice green was very nice and in great condition but not representative of the greens on each hole. There were a lot ofspike marks and unrepaired ball marks. Bunkers need a lot of work.

The course was in great shape with the fairways and greens very nice. The greens weren't cut and were slow but you still had to read the breaks to make a putt. Course was challenging and in good shape. Beware the restricted flight balls on the driving range. Overall a good course and I enjoyed both times I played.

Play the course mid-week morning. Pace of play is horrible on weekends. The other annoyance is you have to sign-up for their social club to be able to buy alcohol from the cart girl or at the bar.
Course is relatively short but has some interesting holes. Conditions of greens have always been good and the price is right.
