A disappointment

Clubhouse surroundings make it look abandoned. Mr. Cook at check-in is extremely pleasant and helpful.
Entire course seems neglected and in need of fertilizer for what is not growing and a mower for what is growing.

Excellent layout rough around the edges

Under new management. Course has great potential and once was a great course. Is only somewhat challenging from senior tees, but a great challenge from longer tees. Lots of elevation changes. Can be physically demanding even with a cart.

Overall good course for the money

The layout is nice and very challenging. Conditions. Hold be improved, fairways and tee boxes are pretty bare. Greens are decent. Not crowed, but a couple groups playing like snails, one waved me thru and the other just keep plugging along, I finally drove around them and went to the next hole. Wish people would just have the courtesy to let you pass if they are going to play that slow. I played 5 holes to their 2 after I passed, and I wasn’t playing fast by any means.

Don’t play this course!!!

Horrible conditions. Even the clubhouse has weeds 2 feet tall around it. No sand in traps. Rocks & gravel in traps. No ranger. No visible staff anywhere. No food. Don’t wast your time, money, or clubs on this course.

Difficult but Fair Course Layout

Lots of elevation changes. Nice layout tee to green. Cart paths, like most sandhills courses, in poor condition. Offers a variety of challenges. Important to play from the appropriate tees. When greens are fast, a few have unfair slopes. On balance love the course.

The course layout is fine, but the conditions are atrocious. There is not a lot of maintenance going on here. I have played multiple courses in the Pinehurst area and this was the worst I have seen.

There is a new dogtrack in town and this one has my vote for worst course in the aera. After a year away I thought I'd see if they've made any improvements and the answer is nope absolutely not maybe in worst shape than when I played it last. Not worth the money go play something else. Sorry beacon ridge but your in a golf mecca and you need to know that your in dead last place of places I would play. Please fix it!!

Greens look like fairways

Not sure what these greenskeepers here are doing but putting on these greens is the worst. Doesn’t look like they ever mow them from what I saw. Will not be returning to this course.

New golfer.

The staff was very friendly and worked with us on our tee times. The pro shop was good. Definitely enough for any last minute needs. The only downside was that it didn’t have a restaurant or bar. If there was it wasn’t advertised.

Plays nice

First time in this course. Looks like they have been working hard to get greens & fairways in shape. A few tee boxes need some attention but overall great course. Cart paths could use some love but that doesn’t change the course for me. I will be back again.

That younger brother...

... you know the one: born into an awesome family, not rich but not poor, educated thinkers who take joy in the simple pleasures of life.
This course is that boy. Great potential, but hasn't earned the right to appreciate hard work. A little scraggly with a odd sort of fashion. Can be very precise when need but has no qualms of going full yolo at the wink of an eye.
The best quality of this boy is his friendship. I will be hanging out with this course again.

Elevation Changing Challenging Course

Challenging, but, fair course with memorable holes. Because of the Elevation changes it is important to select the right tees. Uphill holes will play longer than one extra club. There is a good balance between difficult and easy holes. Some holes have slopes that demand you stay below the pin. If you are into enjoyment and challenge this i the course for you.

Good value, course needs work

The course had a nice layout. The fairways had many weeds and bare spots. Would not return until the course is improved.
