Great course layout and it is a nice easy challenging course for sure with the tight fairways to the sloping greens. For how much rain we have had this month the course was in great condition and super dry out there. Definitely will be back again, love golfing in southern pines!!

Nice course

Just like any course in the winter time, the greens are hit or miss. A few greens were hairy than others were, but for the most part, great course, and well kept.

Goat Track

This course cannot be in worse condition so hopefully it gets better with the warmer weather so I would stay away for at least another few weeks.

Bad management

The lady who works the front desk is nasty. It also doesn’t open until 8am. So don’t book through GolfNow before then. Also- just don’t go.

Nice greens, beautiful layout.

We loved the layout, beautiful course. Greens were in great shape, rolled true and fast. The fairways were in winter shape but didn't affect our play. Great course for the price. If you're expecting conditions of higher end courses that charge MUCH more, then you might not be happy. Would highly recommend to the average golfer. The restaurant offers nice options.

Nice Challenge

Enjoyed the course and it's challenges. Greens were great but tough. Fairways okay, tee boxes a bit beat up. Everything else was excellent!

Very Nice.

Course is great. Fairways well maintained. Greens are very challenging. Bunkers could use work, but this a very good course at a very reasonable price.

Wouldn't play again

Granted the time of year was not ideal but the weather was fair. The overall condition of the course was poorly maintained. Everything was mowed the same height and the greens were so hard that with even the slightest slope to them your ball would roll right off the green. they looked they were rolled with the heaviest roller you could find. Collars were non existent because as I said before every inch of the course was mowed the exact same height including the tees. The only saving grace was the staff.

Great course for the money

This is a ncie course. The only negative I would say was that the areas surrounding the greens were overwatered and were too wet making chipping difficult. That and the difficult greens made for a tough front 9. That said the fairways were nice.
