Vacation Round

Nice course for the value, limited public options in the area. Course was in decent shape, was not aware of aeration however prior to playing. Must take cart, routing requires a lot of driving between holes.

nice Day at Beau Rivage

We had lots of laughs with the golf girls and saved about $25 per person by using Golf now. Com. It was warm, sunny, and breezy. Beau Rivage has a nice rolling hills terrain considering its near the Ocean.

Aeration

This is a course I play pretty often. The course is great but on this particular day the greens had been aerated and the putting conditions were terrible. Also we were paired up with 2 other single players one of which from golf now the other not. One was really good and my partner was not so good so the 4some was not ideal. But I understand you get what you pay for.

All in all it was fun. But I can't imagine playing at 40-45$ considering the condition of the greens. The food was pretty good though.

Lazy

Played this course multiple times and the conditions have continued to get worse. Tee boxes are unacceptable and the gps is more of a distraction than anything. I would recommend this course if u can play for less than 30. This course isn't bad but not great. Spend a little more and play cape fear national or even magnolia greens(after 3pm all u can play for 33).

Great course to play

We were not rushed at all and the staff was friendly. The course was in great shape and the golf carts had gps which was very helpful. I would play there again in a heartbeat.

Great Price!

Great course! I'm a beginner and I had a very difficult time with the greens. I have been playing at a "beginner" course, wide open fairways and not very good greens, so when I played this course I found it very difficult.

Beautiful Course, great experience!

I played this course while in town on business. The Golf Now deal made this course a great value! The course is very unique with a few more difficult holes, but pretty much a moderately difficult course. I love how the water is incorporated into the course! The course was in great shape. The greens, although a little brown, were still in great shape. They were quite fast and a little tricky to keep up with. I loved this course and will be back!

We'll be back!

Overall it was a great experience. The pace was fairly slow, but on a sunny day in March I understand everyone wanting to get out for a round. The course was in great condition, but if you are looking for green fairways we are still a few weeks out. Overall we had a great time !

Love this course

Even if the entire course was flat and dull the greens would make up for it.

But not the case here the elevations will keep you guessing twists and turns up and down and the best part the greens r like concrete ! So fast so much break it's amazing hats off to the greens keeper

74 Degrees about time.

Good course, large fairways, and fast greens. The course was in great shape for winter. Play was very slow, starter had people going off on top of each other. Lots of OB and none of the bunkers were raked. A beach course with quite a few holes with big elevation changes. Good beers on tap at clubhouse.

Great, challenging course

Beau Rivage is a beautifully designed course and is well maintained. Will be frustrating to the novice with its "blind" shots and lightening fast greens. Plenty of challenge here.

I never get tired of playing Beau Rivage

This course has somewhat wide fairways, definitely not to tight. The bunkers were well groomed with nice smooth sand. Water and marsh areas come into play on several holes, but not overly challenging. The greens were large, firm and very fast when I played. Carts are equipped with GPS. Lastly there is a nice grass practice range, large putting green and chipping green

gps carts. fast greens. interesting holes.

This course has a lot of elevation change for s coastal course, windy is the norm. The holes are a lil quirky but fun and the greens are slick. The par fives aren't all reachable. A real challenge that keeps you coming back.
