The Pines of Elizabeth City

Still like playing the course. It is a challenging layout. But it doesn't seem like course maintenance is being done as well under the new YMCA management. Greens are going away and during a previous visit we had to bypass two greens because there was so much goose s___ you couldn't putt and this was mid morning. Bistro is still pretty good, but changes are happening there too. Liquor stock has recently been removed. Luckily the staff at the Pines remain friendly and helpful.

Not a pushover

Fun course that looks like it has no teeth. Don’t be fooled , this track has elevated greens that require landing skills if you’re going to score. Well worth the drive from the Outer Banks to get a good challenge at an affordable price.

FunCourse for all levels

Everyone who helped me were excellent and professional and worked me into a tight scheduled course play. A ladies tournament was under way, but it was fun to observe them along the way, as well.

Worth the drive from the Ouer Banks

Nice layout, moderately long, plenty of water. Greens and fairways in great shape. Not much play. Very nice and friendly staff. Well worth the drive from the Outer Banks, would definitely consider playing again. Somewhat hard to find as the course in now affiliated with the YMCA, no mention of that on the website. Thanks.
