Great Track

Nice layout, a lot of fun to play. Good mix of holes and shots to play. Great greens and fairways. Should be a lot of fun in the summer when the grass is green. Only downside was when we played after a big rainstorm, the course was wet and has a few cart path only holes. Would definitely come back.

Truly Impressed

This was my first visit to this course and I must admit that it exceeded my expectations. The design and layout of every hole was fair but challenging. The staff makes you feel as if you are a member. The ladies in bar were very accommodating and the view of 18 sitting in the bar is amazing. I read somewhere before I played here that this was one of the best kept secrets in the pines area, I now agree with that statement totally. You must put this on your play list for anytime throughout the year. My group will surely be returning soon.

Great tough course that was over booked!

I have never spent that much time waiting on a golf course! At first we thought it was just the group in front of us. After 8 agonizing holes we finally decided to skip a hole to get around what we thought was two groups in front of us. Nope! It was backed up at the way to 18! We just golfed the first 9 again and had a great time.

Great conditioned Course.

A1 conditions in November.
Greens are small, run true and are quick.
Really is a beautiful course from start to finish.
We were waiting on every hole but still managed to get round in 3.5 hours.

Absolutely no complaints.

Not what you think

I thought 7 lakes had 7 lakes???? The town is called 7 lakes & the course had more water than that, but not all of the H20 came into play.
Being from the Northeast, I wasn't used to playing on dormant grass so early in November, so the lies I got weren't the best, but such is golf. Not always the fairest all the time.
The course has lots of elevation,L-R,R-L, up-down,down-up, & very good Bent grass greens like we have in NJ.
All in all for the price($21 on Golf now) a STEAL>> Heard it was going out to auction on Friday, Nov. 7th. Hope somebody buys it, & makes a few improvements to a good course

Best Course in Pinehurst Area

Being a native North Carolinian, I can honestly say this is the best and my favorite course in the entire Pinehurst area. I have played them all and no other has the variety and playability of 7 Lakes. The course conditions are always superb and you can make this course as tough as you wish by playing different tees. Very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend. Very reasonably priced. Great value for the money.

Top notch

We had a group of about 10 and we couldn't have chosen a better course to start our golf weekend. The course is in great shape, greens quick and true. There is quite a bit of elevation change which is typical for several courses in the area. Our only complaint was no beverage cart and no snack shop open at the turn. But, we are there for golf right? Golf course is top notch.!

Very nice greens

This was our first time playing 7LCC and we enjoyed playing the course. It is playable for all levels of golfers. We brought a group of 12 golfers to the area and all 12 agreed (which is saying something for this group). From the time we arrived until the time we left the facilities we were made to feel welcome and that they wanted our business now and in the future. Mike, in the pro shop, was a please to work with and the grill & golf staff did a great job of taking care of 12 rather loud golfers. The greens are fast and the layout is challenging yet playable. 7LCC will be on our must play list for years to come. Thanks again Mike for all of the hospitality on Friday!

Very scenic course

My wife and I played here for the first time in almost eight years. Now we're wondering why. We forgot how scenic it is. I think every hole has an elevation change and many have doglegs. It was in great shape and we played in under four hours. The clubhouse staff was very friendly. We'll definitely be back the next time we visit the Pinehurst area.

It doesn't get any better than this!

Played on 10/22 with some friends in the afternoon and was truly impressed with the friendliness of the entire staff. We ate lunch in the Grill and Amanda was our waitress. The food quality was excellent. I had the Fish & Chips (best I've had anywhere) and my guests had the reuben & a burger. It was all served in a timely fashion and we had plenty of time before the round started. The price was very reasonable and we enjoyed the view of the 18th hole. Bob checked us in for our teetime and told us about the course and was very nice and informative. The course is all it claims to be. In great condition, greens are firm & fast and rolled true. The fairways are weed free and the rough was very playable. The attention to detail by the maintenance crew stands out beginning around the clubhouse. I plan to play here as often as possible in the future. Thanks for making us feel welcome and we will definately tell friends to play Seven Lakes when they are in the Pinehurst area.

Fantastic golf experience

Kudos to the ground crew who make the course conditions outstanding. The rough is doable, but the greens are challenging. The golf shop staff were exceptional, welcoming all who ventured out to the course that day. Pace of play worked for me. I did not feel rushed on any hole and we never had to wait. Food was very good. Overall fantastic experience. Will come back really soon.

Good value!

The course was in very good shape. Pace of play was very slow on this particular day., as we got behind a 9 hole league of seniors. (Really nice people!)

fun course

This was a fun challenging course. The day we played there was a slow foursome on front but they came out and pace pick up quickly. Many fun holes where you can be rewarded with a good shot if you are even or below hole.
