The Currituck Club
Played On 06/09/2018Unbelievably bad course condition for what we thought was the best of OBX.
Could write a 5 page review but I really don’t feel like forming sentences to describe the disappointment and horrid course conditions.
1. Tee boxes on every hole were unrecognizable or in very bad shape.
2. Fairways had dried out or burnt areas throughout pretty much every hole. Drove the ball a few times right down the middle only to find a 15 yard patch of unplayable fairway.
3. Greens were recently aired out and were incredibly hard to navigate. (Was not informed at any point that the greens had been aired out recently)
4. Fringes and aprons to every hole were beyond unplayable, making it very difficult on a windy course to roll anything up onto greens.
5. Fairway on hole 3 had palates of sod everywhere and 8-10 employees actively laying sod while people were trying to play the hole. Sprinklers were also running on the first few holes on front side while we were trying to play. Hole 1 had freshly laid sod in several spots as well as extremely soggy and water saturated fairway thru entire hole.
I’ve played Currituck 3 times prior to this crap show but never saw it this poorly maintained. In all fairness we were warned that they had a “harsh winter” and that grounds crews were actively working throughout course. We were never informed that the greens had recently been aired out or the severity of how bad the course conditions actually were. Not sure how the golf shop crew could keep a straight face while describing the course conditions prior to play or how the grounds keeper could sleep at night knowing how bad of shape the course was in. Currituck is advertised as THE prestigious golf course of the entire OBX and greens fees are THE highest around by a lot. Next time offer an apology, a discount of some sort and don’t allow play until you get the course in playable condition. Very disappointing for a couple of annual vacationers looking to play what we thought was a pretty solid course.

Paid $13 so I'm not gonna complain to much but if you are expecting anything remotely nice or challenging then play elsewhere. Front 9 is way better to play than back 9.
Windy Knoll Golf Club
Played On 08/20/2016Worth the drive from Columbus
I wish this course was closer to me because I'd play it all the time. Very interesting layout with several interesting/challenging holes. I've played 8-10 times and have never payed more than $40 and have never played a round over 4.5 hours, even on weekends. The greens are very very firm but large. I'd say this is one of my favorite to play around Central Ohio area because of the value and character of course. Worth the drive.

I never score well on this course but I love playing it. Great value and a solid course.

Fun course to play. Front 9 is tree lined with lots of hills and challenging stances. Back is more wide open. Always in good shape and totally worth play.
Virtues Golf Club
Played On 8/17/20135 plus hour round 3:15 on a Saturday?
Longaberger is a great course and is always in great shape but my last two rounds there have been have been really close to six hour rounds and I played them both around 3pm on weekends. When we arrived they were unable to give our group any carts because they were out of them. We got our cart and loaded up about ten minutes before our tee time and that cart ran out of juice on the 14th hole and after three attempts to call the clubhouse someone in the restaurant was able to get me some help. The second cart they gave us ran out of juice on 18 and we had to push our way to the clubhouse. I have played this course 10-12 times over the past 7 years and it has honestly gone way down hill this past year. Not worth the hour drive and $$$ for greens fees.
Cumberland Trail Golf Club
Played On 8/04/2013Completely over booked
Course was in decent shape although inkers were unplayable and hadn't been raked in some time. Starter was not very cordial and to be honest he wasn't nice at all. I was a single and was told by him that he would try to get me out as soon as he had a group with room for one. It thought that I made a specific tee time so that I could insure that? I did get paired up with another single but didn't tee off till about 3:30 which was 15 minutes past my reservation time. Every hole was backed up with atleast the foursome ahead of us and sometimes the four ahead of them. I'd say we waited on average 10-15 minutes on every shot and after 15 holes I couldn't take anymore and went home. It was almost 8:30pm and I still had 3 holes to play. Didn't see any rangers patrolling and it would have been nice to have one speeding up play. When I got to the clubhouse a kid came out and helped me with my bag and I told him how incredibly slow the pace of play was especially for a later tee time on Sunday. The kids apologizes to me and tells me how they double book a lot of tee times and that this is a standard complaint at CT. Needless to say that I was not happy with my experience and I don't think I would ever play CT again even if it was only $20.
Riviera Golf Club
Played On 5/27/2013Challenging and well maintained
Very well maintained and challenging course with very fast greens. Was hoping for more overall character from this course but overall the layout was pretty good and would definitely play again. Make sure you bring your putting game because the the speed of the greens will test your putter.
adamantresp1,
Thank you for the great 4-Star review! We are glad you found value in the course, and that you had a great round. We look forward to seeing you out there again soon!
Best regards,
