Overpriced

If the round was free or if my money was returned, I would have left. Greens slow with weeds, bunkers need more sand, if you miss the fairway by a foot you may not find your ball. There is no 1st cut of rough, 5 inches, lots of long dead grass in the fairway. I will not play again until I hear several great reviews.

One good thing: the ball cleaners were nice and the pace was fast because no one else was playing the field.

Overrated but Good

Good course to play if the price is right. The back has a lot of water. The greens are large, undulating and fast. The tee boxes and fairways are in average condition. A ranger was needed to speed up play.

Target Practice

The main complaint is the sandy greens, they roll true bug the speed is not predictable. It is a good place for target practice, but I would not take a group out there right now.

Not as good as I expected

Lot of bunkers which made the course fun and challenging. The drainage was not good. The greens could have rolled better, bumpy spots on occasions where the old pin placement was not flush with the green. I expected more from a TPC course but I would play it again for the right rate.

Greens rolled very true. Other than that, nothing memorable. The rate should cap out at $40.

Surprised

Heard good things about the course. It was a far drive from Charlotte but I thought I would give it a shot. The greens were very inconsistent. Course was way overpriced, should be $30 max during prime hours. Bunkers need sand as well.

I apologize for your experience and hope you will try us again some time. You caught us a couple of days after a very heavy rain and the course was not up to its normal condition.

Good track, could be better

Greens are too soft, high approach shots will plug resulting in lots of ill repaired divots. So the greens could use a little tlc. The pace of play was slow mid day Sunday because there was no ranger. Overall a good track but way overpriced.

Great course, if it was in Charlotte it would cost $65. It was worth the ride.

Okay Course

Not many options in the area to play, lots of blind shots, greens were slow but rolled true. Good value for the money if you are out of town and want to get out and hack around. Nice layout with a few challenging holes, the back plays easier and is shorter than the front.

Short layout

Short layout that allows you to work on your approach shots. 5 holes have shared greens. Greens had 35% sand. They should consider shutting down 9 holes to get the greens in playable condition.

Great Outing

Staff was very friendly, provided a yardage book and range balls on the house. Traps were nice and the greens were rolling true. The greens were holding approach shots. If you are less than a 10 handicap, you might want to play the tips. Pace was steady but slow due to a couple +40 handicappers we were paired with.

Bay Dunes Review

Cow pasture used for target practice. For the price, it was better to play than go to the range. I play this course during the holidays annually and the greens rarely roll true.
