Solid Beach Day

I think this course is a great value at $30, not sure I'd go higher. They have free range balls super plus.

Great value

Just wanted to play while at the beach. This place was a great value. It was a little wet when we played but it seemed to drain well. Very flat course, wind affects a lot of shots. Greens were rolling well.

Fantastic

Bunkers need some work and greens were a little bit slow, but this is one of the most enjoyable courses I’ve ever played. Very fair setup with various sets of tees to accommodate all skill levels. The layout was superb and the course was very open. My biggest disappointment was not playing well. I can’t wait to come back and redeem myself.

This course had a great layout but offers the challenge of some type of water hazard on nearly every hole, some of which were blind. If I played it a second time with the knowledge I know now they wont be much of a problem. Staff was friendly and the course was in fantastic condition. Greens are very slow, but true on breaks. Very enjoyable experience. Walking isn't an option unless you want to walk a marathon in your round as holes are very spread out between one another.

Layout has potential

It was my first time playing Beaufort Club today. This is a 2006 Bob Moore residential layout with a fair amount of distance between holes winding through the neighborhood. The course was built in the early 2000s and and it feels like it was impacted by the recession because most of the lots have still gone undeveloped.

The bones of the course were good, but it feels like a course in transition. The greens were top-dressed, but were the best part of the course. I suspect they can get really fast and interesting. The bunkering and waste areas are fairly extreme in poor shape.

I use ‘transition’ because there are some elements of the course that appear to be under renovation like the clubhouse that show potential. Overall, we had a nice day and look forward to exploring other courses in the area.

The course was in good condition fairways and greens. The sand trap could use some attention.
Overall I enjoyed the course.

Nice tract with challenging approach shots

Played in very windy conditions. Only had time to play front nine. Very nice course with challenging approach shots to most holes. I normally walk, but took cart since green to next tee distances are large. Pro shop staff were very friendly. Grill staff also friendly and excellent; great lunch too.

Great layout! New favorite course in this area.

I come down to Emerald Isle, NC for vacation every year and the past several years the courses locally have taken a turn for the worse. Between neglect and hurricanes there aren’t any good tracks worth spending money on in my opinion. I’m a golf addict and need to play at least 2 or 3 times on vacation. I decided this year to try to find a course worth playing in the surrounding areas. I read up on Beaufort Club and even though it was 35 minutes away from where I was staying in Emerald Isle, after playing one round it was definitely worth the drive. This will be my go to course when I come down to Emerald Isle every year. I enjoy a difficult course with unique holes and Beaufort Club doesn’t disappoint. An added surprise was the free range balls to get warmed up before the round. There isn’t really anything special as far as a restaurant or great food or beverage to grab at the turn or after the round but the course makes up for that. The 18th hole is a gem!

Great back 9

Was a very nice course in good condition. Was very impressed with the back 9 it had a ton of character! Would definitely recommend the course. Be prepared to play in some wind the course is flat but very windy and we played on a day when the surrounding areas were not windy! Enjoy!!

A windy challenge

My 2nd visit here confirmed, this is just a windy location. I'm not long off the tee, 220ish, but into 30 mph on 396 par 4's, trying to reach was very costly. The links style mounds quickly ate up my errant shots. Shaved 11 strokes on the back 9. Sand traps still stressed after storm damage, more like waste bunkers. Greens & Fairways VG, roughs, a different story. Maybe one day I'll get to play with only 15 mph!

Very nice course.

Nice course. Good test of golf. Lots of water and sand. I played when it was windy and it was real tough, but fair. Covers a lot of acres.

Bring Your A Game

Beaufort Club has the best driving range in Carteret County and range balls are unlimited and included with your round of golf. A nice bonus feature here for sure. One certainly needs to make sure their swing is intact at the range before heading to the 1st tee because the course is possibly the most difficult in the area as well. Several sets of tees to choose from but if you think your good like me you’ll tip it out and face forced carries all day long and test every club in your bag on a gorgeous but penalizing course that is almost guaranteed to be windy!

Beautiful peaceful

This was a very long course but of course my husband being a senior and me being female had tees for everyone to play. The fairways were smooth beautiful well kept as well as the cart path was so nice. My husband really loved the layout of the course. Only negatives were the bunkers were sometimes filled with water and the greens were slower than we were accustomed to. I think the carts were maintained and cleaned exceptionally well. It is a beautiful clubhouse, but they were experiencing kitchen exhaust fan issues and did not have any food service that day. The course is just outside of Beaufort North Carolina and it is convenient and wonderful in not hearing interstate and road noise. The quiet was exceptional.

Great Golf course. Beautiful layout, fun holes, great pace of play... only downside this time was there greens while in great condition were very very wooly. Slow... which wasn’t the best. Other than that great time.

Reminded me of many beautiful courses I have played in Myrtle Beach. Pleasantly surprised as to how much they had cleaned up after Hurricane Florence!
