Hidden Gem!!

Being from Greensboro and a frequent visitor to the Sandhills Region I had seen the sign many time but just never thought about playing at Quail Ridge. Well now all that has changed! Great Lay-out to challenge any golfer, great challenging green complexes and plenty of elevation changes. Our group could not say enough about it!!! Will be in the traveling rotation that’s for sure..

Quail Ridge a Gem

My brother and I played this course for the first time. What a gem! Fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Well worth the money. Staff in golf shop were very friendly. Golf course was very busy but pace of play was perfect. Challenging yet forgiving fairways. Will definitely be back! Every golfer should add this course to their list to play if you have not played Quail Ridge before.

Overseeded fairways were fantastic

This is a enjoyable course to play. Conditions are above what I have experienced in the surrounding area. It’s very obvious the Golf Course Superintendent has high standards.
1: best overseeded fairways I’ve seen in the area, that includes private clubs. And I’m used to playing Arizona golf courses.
2: greens were edged, an effort is being made to keep the champion Bermuda clean against the collars.
3: sod work has been done to improve turf conditions.
4: all bunkers were clean and raked.
5. Driving range tee had just been topdresses.

Overall the course clean, fair, and fun.

First Timer

Went and played with three of my friends. We had a great time. Course was in fantastic condition and we decided to sign up for their frequent player card, which allows us to play at a reduced rate for the rest of the year. Will definitely be back at least once a month.

Over-seeded fairways makes it nice to play on green fairways. Greens a little slow but roll true. Good pace of play until a twosome jumped ahead of us on ten tee. Overall great experience.

Ovwrseeded fairways

Always green fairways #2 hole is very challenging it’s a bowl pin placement no matter where the pin is it’s a challenge, love this course especially in the summer
