Title explains it all…easiest track I’ve ever played. Next stop putt putt and that may actually be more difficult. Still had tons of fun

Absolutely worth everything paid for

Holly Ridge was one of my best golfing experiences I have ever had. I put together a golf tournament at Holly Ridge and the staff was absolutely amazing. The staff took care of any needs that our group needed and let us relax and have fun. The course itself was in outstanding shape, the greens were rolling pure and the fairways were cut perfectly. Great amenities as well for a good time after the round. If you ever need help setting up an outing, make sure to ask for Nick, he's the man!

Not really worth the money

For the price, this wasn't worth it. Greens were slow, long and unkempt. The course is a bit uninspiring with portions representing a par three course carved put of a flat field. Definitely a disappointment.

Avoid

Cheap is it’s main appeal. Might be a good place to take a new golfer as the holes are short and many of them are pretty wide open. The greens are horrible. Slowest I’ve ever played and extremely bumpy.

Enjoyed the fairways

Nice little course
Look forward to playing it again

Why was I charged $7.97 on my credit card and had to pay the green fee at the golf course?

Awful expericentce

I didn’t play. They would not honor your rate, so I told them no. I have not been able to get any reply from anyone at Golfnow. I need to be sure I was not billed even 1 penny for this. I don’t know whether to call it false advertising for bait and switch but I need to know I’m not charged for this. I believe I’m owed an apology for this.

Call ahead

Went in with 9:00 o clock set up on Golfnow and they basically said they don’t use it and you have to “wait till a spot is open” after your tee time if you want to play. Would definitely call ahead but not a bad short course for the money .

Affordable Golf in the Outer Banks

I spent a week in the Outer Banks and wanted to play a few rounds of golf. We stayed in a cottage near the Wright Brothers Memorial, so I googled several local courses. Most were $60 to $90 per round, but Holly Ridge GC in Harbinger was only $49 with a cart, $37 to walk. The reviews were not appealing, but I gave it a shot.

I walked and thoroughly enjoyed the course layout, good greens, and the friendliness of the pro shop staff. The fairways were rough in spots, but very playable. I get very appreciated and with the walking deal, I opted to play 2 more times that week. With a relatively flat layout, the course was very walkable.

The course isn’t very long , 5500 yards from the tips, but several holes were challenging with water hazards on a number of holes.

I will certainly go back when I’m in that area again.

Friendly and Quaint

Really good bang for the buck course! All the others I played throughout the week were packed, so this was a very welcome change of pace. We were able to hang out and golf, without feeling rushed, and for the price it was perfect! The staff was very friendly. Thanks to everyone at Holly Ridge!

Good course for first time playing

This was a good course; everything dormant; not great fairway grass. Putting was okay. Lots of water! Didn't like the power-lines running through several holes.

Fun day on the course

The course was I great shape. The greens were very well maintained and we had a great time especially for one of the less expensive courses around the outer banks.
