Fast greens
Greens were probably running about 13 or 13 and in great condition. Nice layout. Keep an eye out for alligators!
Challenging Layout...Maybe too much
I used to play here growing up. The course was challenging then, but the updates since changing it have made it close to unplayable. It's one thing the have hazards, but to have brush and natural growth areas off almost every fairway made the holes unforgiving. It felt as though a tee shot that missed a fairway wasn't a punishment but a death sentence. To miss a fairway almost meant a double bogey of lucky. In my opinion a missed fairway should mean you have to scramble to make a par, not scramble to your bag to find another ball. Plus the fairways have been reduced dramatically in width. I fancy myself a decent golfer, but this course was beyond tough. The greens were fast, but true, no issues there. They held well also. I probably will stay away in the future. It's a shame, because I loved this course as a junior. Sorry for the poor review, I just felt like I was looking for a challenge, and got a root canal.
Thank you for your feedback and we apologize for your poor experience. We assure you this is not the standard we strive to achieve and will address it at the course. Look forward to having you back soon and making up for this experience.

Awesome!!!
This course has had its ups and downs over the last couple years. John has it going in the right direction again and looking forward to playing this course on a weekly basis!!!
Thanks Tim for the 5 star review! We are pleased to hear you had a great time at Masonboro. Hope to see you again hitting the greens with us soon!
You said this was the Cape
If you use to play the Cape, the Massonbourgh is a big upgrade. A lot tougher and a lot better shape. If you wonder off the tee you will pay in your score. Paying $30 was a good deal, but the driving range was. Not open for the 8:00 Am tee time. I could of used some practice.
Thank you for writing a 4 star review and hitting the greens with us! We hope to see you on the course again soon.
Could be great
This course could be awesome. The layout is very interesting and quite challenging, especially off the tee's. The condition of the course overall is not very good. Lots of tee boxes are bare and fairways for most part are decent but some bare spots. The positive was the greens. They rolled pretty true and quite quick. There are a few bare spots on a few greens but no real problem with greens. The course just looks unkept with bunkers getting overgrown, crab grass growing in clumps on fairways and the course is just disappointing to the eye. Again, this layout if in the condition of say Cape Fear National would be so awesome. I got a solid $30 tee time on golfnow so no problem playing for that. I would not pay rack rate to play here.I would rather go to a few other local courses if paying full rate.
Thank you for your feedback. We assure you this is not the standard we strive to achieve. We are constantly working on course conditions and look forward to having you back soon.
Tough Course
Very nice course, but bring your best game. This course plays much longer than the yardage indicates. Elevation changes and undulating greens make for a good test. Very friendly staff and good place to have an after round TODDY.
Thanks for writing a 4 star review! We hope to see you again on the course again soon!
Great layout
This course has a challenge on every hole. Tremendous layout, with greens in great shape as well as fairways.
Thank you Amanco for 4 star review! We are glad you have a great time at the course. Hope to see you hit the greens with us again soon!
Slow
Pace of play was extremely slow. Waited on every tee and just about every fairway. Group in front of us had to all score 100+.
Staff was very friendly. Pro shop was a joke. Range balls looked like they had sat in a pond for 5 years.
Don't think I'll play here again.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the course didn't meet your expectations. We hope you can try Masonboro Golf Club again in the future!
Decent
Good course, played with a member. Group I played with were very nice and friendly. Course is very tight with lots of hazards. Bring a lot of balls. Course conditions were the only issue I had. For a place with a full time grounds crew they could keep the course healthier. Overall I got a great deal and the layout was challenging
Thank you Kapil635415 for the review. We appreciate our golfers taking the time to provide course experience and feedback. Hope to see you hitting the greens with us again soon!
Challenging course
Masonboro always plays tough but it's a great course. One of two holes on the front should be made int par 5s - numbers 4 and 9 to make this a par 72, but no other complaints. Be warned, there are no water stations on the course. This can be a big issue in the NC heat!
Thanks for the 5 star review! We are happy to hear you had an enjoyable day. Please come back and play with us again in the future!

Good Coastal Golf
Have played MCC several times. Some very nice holes that are challenging for a 10-12 handicap. Pace of play should be monitored more closely.
hootowl3,
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad some of our hole gave you a bit of a challenge. Hope to see you on the course again soon.
chalenging course

Not great
Play with some locals. They said course had been let run down. Just not in good shape. You could tell it had been nice at one time.

We are sorry to hear that you feel the course was not up to its usual standard. Thank you for informing us on your thoughts. We will take your feedback and address it internally in hopes of improving our course.
Great players course
Really nice players course. A lot of water and sand traps abound. Shot placement is critical in order to post a decent scorecard. Friendly staff and a nice little bar/ restaurant attached to pro shop. Bring your "A" game !

Great Day
Have not played in almost a year so it was a challenge. My son is a regular golfer and is a low HC and he also found it challenging. The course requires that you golf with course management in mind. It is not a course to just swing away. You need to plan your shots

Thanks for your review! Hope to see you on the course again in the future.

Beautiful golf course!
Wow, what a nice golf course! I was apprehensive because many reviews had said how difficult it was. Its true, you have to keep the ball in play, but you have to anywhere to score. I found the fairways and landing areas to be very fair. The course was in great shape, greens rolled nicely, and each hole kept my interest. Drove from North Myrtle Beach and was well worth the drive.

Exacting course
This course dictates that you control almost every shot or you will be punished... I had a fun day even though I some poor shots cost me.
The greens were fast, & true & some pin placements caused some longer second putts than I desired.

First play
Challenging but interesting course. Not for beginners. Narrow fairways with numerous hazards. You need to be able to hit the ball to a location. If you can't...bring lots of balls.

Great course, but tough
Beautiful course and ultra friendly staff. This course is not for the high handicap player though. Very tight fairways with hazards galore. The little bit of fairway that is there is undulating rarely providing a level lie if you do manage to get on it. Will play it again as I should be better prepared knowing what to expect.
