Slow Play

I have played Kilmarlic in the past and loved it. This experience was different. The greens were really slow, which is a minor problem. Also, the staff member that comes to your car to load your clubs managed to lose my driver headcover. Also a small problem. But the outdoor staff and pro shop people were rude when I tried to find it. Bigger problem. We started on the back and played in two hours. When we made the turn, there were 3 groups on the tee. The second nine took 3 hours.

Loved the course

I have never been to the Outter Banks. Ive been looking forward to playing this course since I found out about it. The layout of the course is awesome. There were some dead spots around the greens but the fairways were really nice. Sand was tough but nice to play out of. There is water on a lot of the hole, which I loved. Overall, I really enjoyed this course and would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking to play golf in OBX..
The staff was great. We were given a card with the course layout showing distances to bunkers and water hazards. I highly recommend looking before every hole. There are some hidden water hazards that arent visible from the tee box.
Thank you Kilmarlic for a great round.

Birdie Features with Bogey Upkeep

Fun layout with enough challenge. Happy to only have played the front 9. Areas around most greens were just outright unacceptable to charge prime rates.

A bit disappointed…..

We’ve been coming to Kilmarlic for several years and it is very easy to say it’s our favorite course in OBX.

As usual the fairways and greens were in excellent condition, but we were very surprised by the conditions around the greens. Most if not all greens had large areas under repair around them.

Hope they can right the ship and return to the expected conditions.

Just awful, go somewhere else

Never submitted a bad review for a course before but this place is a disaster. They don’t water parts of this course at all. The greens and fairways are ok if your ball doesn’t go in a hole but if you don’t land on the green and are on the fringe, GOODLUCK. pace of play is a nightmare, waited about 5 min in between every shot. Would never play here again, plenty of other courses in the area.

Great course

Layout is excellent with your choice of risk. Greens in great shape, fairways good but dry due to no rain versus maintenance. Some of the tee boxes a little rough. Loved the staff and amenities...

Greens were good, hard pan / dirt on aprons of the greens. Fairways thin, no grass in the rough. Need to water the course to make it playable.

Excellent Course

My son and I headed out today despite the heavy winds, but it worked out pretty well. The course is not long but is in excellent shape and is somewhat challenging with water, bunkers, and turns a plenty. The clubhouse gals and staff are great, and the food and drinks were good as well. Whether you sit in or take it on the turn this place was a pleasant surprise!
