OK for $20

Got a hot deal and paid $20. Good thing! First the positives, the staff was wonderful, and the greens were fantastic. The biggest problem with the course is the uninspired design, I felt like I was playing the same 3 holes over and over again, Stick with their sister course down the road. The Pointe is a great track with better conditions for the same price.

Very well maintained for time of year.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The course was in good shape considering the time of year( dormant Bermuda) and recent weather. Greens were in great shape and putts rolled well. Glad to get a hot deal price before the rates change back to prime season.

This was my first time playing here. I really enjoyed the layout! Easier holes mixed in with some more difficult ones really made it an enjoyable round. Greens were in excellent shape! Really enjoyed the Par 3 7th hole!

Going to Carolina in my mind ( JT)....

Well run well done !
Small cozy golf course where I always feel right at home on my trips to the Outer Banks.

Played this course before and they are doing it right!
Chad the pro knows how to make people feel welcome when you walk into the club.

The bar is small, cozy and has a relaxed atmosphere yet you are served in a timely manor.

The course was in good shape considering it was winter. I enjoy the total experience when I'm at the Carolina club, they know customer service.

17th hole is a very cool par 3 :-)

Excellent Course and the Staff are worth the trip!

Got a great rate on Last Minute Golf for 18 holes. Would have gladly paid double. The course is a lot of fun, nice mixture of easy to moderate holes, with a occasional tough one. The staff was extremely friendly and honestly to me that is the more important than most things about a golf course. No one wants to play when the staff has a "better than you" air about them. Clearly not the case with these folks, very down to earth and courteous.

No ranger

Would have enjoyed the course if someone was out there making sure that the pace of play was enforced. Longest round of golf I have played when not in a tournament of some kind or weekend 5&1/2hours. The foursome I front of us had three to four holes open in front of them and we waited on every shot for 18 holes.

We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant round. As you can see from previous reviews, this is not the normal pace. Please know we take pace of play as one of the most important aspects to making a round of golf enjoyable and will look for ways to avoid this issue from happening again.

Choose your medicine.

Excellent golf course.
Several sets of tees to choose from so choose to your playing skills. I'm a 15 handicapper, not a long ball hitter, and played from the blues @ 6200 for an 88.
Fairways well defined, the rough was tough, and the greens were fast.
Price was very good thru GolfNow.

Good Course, Value

Was looking for a course to play while on vacation at the Outer Banks, came across a Hot Deal for this course, and glad I did. Course was in good shape, and uncrowded midday on a Tuesday. Course isn't incredibly challenging, but likely could be if you back up to the Championship tees. Really enjoyed my round.

Very enjoyable

Conditions were very good. Had a group of 7 and was paired with a single to make 2 foursomes. Pace of play was excellent. Went from green to next tee with no wait. Course was fair even though a very windy day. Follow tee recommendations for your handicap and you will not regret playing here. Did not buy any food so gave average rating because of no knowledge.

What a great course.

I was pleasantly surprised in this course. Staff was super nice. They brought the car to our car and loaded our bags for us. Pro shop small but nice. Bar was Small but nice as well. The only thing I didn't love about this course was the greens. They were fast! Which is great however, you can tell this place gets a lot of traffic. Ball marks everywhere and not properly repaired. Ever green I made sure to repair two or three ball marks. So the ball had a tendency to bounce off my line. The fairways were nice and well maintained. Bunkers were mostly nice. Some were packed down from the sprinklers. Go figure that's where my ball would land and stop not in the nice fluffy parts of the bunker. I will most definitely be playing this course again.

A Well Run Club

If you're heading to OBX make sure to stop in here and play. They are doing things right at the Carolina Club.

You are greeted properly as they pull a golf cart right up to your car. The pro shop has a nice selection of shirts, hats, equipment.

The course is in amazing condition even with mid August drought conditions. The greens roll true .

Stopped in for lunch and the bar area has a fun laid back feel with friendly staff.

Who ever is running this club is doing an amazing job. This was not my first time playing the Carolina Club, they are very welcoming and consistent.
Great place to spend the day at when you go to OBX.
Didn't have my best round of golf but I did have the best time!!
Thanks to all of you @ the club

The course had a number of interesting holes. The greens were true and played fast although not excessive. Course had some damp patches on the fairway due to recent rains. Overall a fun day out and would play again. Staff very accommodating.

Best Course Near Outer Banks

The course plays very well. I spent a week in the outer banks and out of all of the local courses the was the cheapest by nearly $80 and from what I saw the best course. Hole #7 is defiantly the highlight of the course. It is a average length par 3 but the island green throws in a little twist. That is just one of many great holes on this course. This is a perfect course due to the challenge it presents but still allows the average player to enjoy their round.

Great deal

Got lucky and grabbed a hot deal on golfnow for Friday afternoon round. First time playing the course and had heard great things about it. Pro shop desk was helpful and friendly and told me I could tee off whenever. First hole had me concerned as side of fairway was roped off for mud and there were weeds in fairway but course conditions improved immediately. Greens were soft (think it has rained earlier that morning) but still quick enough to make you think. Lot of water hazards but I liked the heavy par 5 and par 3 setup. Wind wasn't too bad for being near the coast but it was into you on most of the back 9 so it played long. Best part was I didn't wait to hit a shot until 16 when I caught a twosome. Still finished under 3 hours. Overall, good course with challenging layout. Wouldn't pay rack rate for it but absolutely will watch for deals and play again.
