Talamore Golf Resort
Played On 12/31/2023Talamore Good Winter Course
Course was in good shape for winter golf. Greens, tees, and bunkers all were playable - they have mats on the Par 3 tees, understandable to protect the tees, but makes playing a long iron an extra challenge. A couple of the Par 3's are quite long. The llamas are a special treat to see. Choose your tee box wisely, the cold weather really lengthens the course.
Sandpiper Bay Golf & Country Club - Sand Nine
Played On 08/27/2023Sand + Piper
Courses were in fantastic condition - fairways are like thick carpets. Greens putt true and roll well. Would play here anytime I can.
Legacy Golf Links
Played On 07/20/2023Legacy Golf
Very interesting layout - every hole feels different/unique. Greens roll really well despite having been recently aerated. Greens soft enough to hold a long iron shot. Tees and fairways in good shape. A couple of greenside traps could use more depth of sand but most are fair and playable. We had no pace of play issues. Staff is very friendly and accommodated our being a little late. Good service in the bar after playing.
Scotch Meadows Country Club
Played On 05/22/2023Scotch Meadows
Great value despite being so far away. Demanding but certainly not unfair - staff person was extraordinarily helpful with advice on playing. The only downside of the course was how very thin the sand is in the traps. There seemed to be less than 1/2 inch depth in the traps I found. Very hard dirt underneath. These conditions required a chip shot rather than a sand blast.
Beacon Ridge Golf & Country Club
Played On 05/08/2023Wonderful course design not matched by condition
I wish I could say otherwise, but I won't be playing here again until I learn that the course conditions have been significantly improved. The staff could not be nicer or more helpful. But they can't make up for the very sad condition of the grass. It is a terrific layout, worthy of fine care - I have no idea why it has come to be in such poor shape. I hope they're able to recover because it would be a great place to play, if....
Legacy Golf Links
Played On 09/19/2022A Pleasure to Play Here
This was the third time I've played Legacy and I intend to play it often while we're in Pinehurst and I'd freely recommend it to anyone. The white tees were very fair in distance and fairway width. The blue tees really test you, especially on the challenging par 3's. The staff are very friendly. The only thing that might surprise you is the quickness of the greens. They don't look thin or particularly fast. They easily hold a high approach shot - many of mine rolled only a couple of inches, but they putt very fast and true.
Lake at Carolina Trace Country Club
Played On 07/04/2022Awesome Par 3's. Don't miss this course.
Awesome friendly staff! Really made me feel welcome. I played during the hot part of the day and there was almost no one on the course, so pace was exactly what I wanted - I played in under 3 hours. The Lake course layout is fabulous, and the par 3's are totally awesome. A little lengthy but so beautiful. Greens were in great shape. I'd play there again in a heartbeat.
The Pearl Golf Links - West Course
Played On 06/06/2022The Pearl is a Real Gem
Perfect weather, great course, wonderful condition, and best of all, the delight of having friendly, helpful people who run the place. While the cost is a little higher than local competitors, the value is much greater. Much. Don't miss the opportunity to play here - must be one of the top ten courses in all of the Myrtle Beach area.
Meadowlands Golf Course
Played On 05/22/2022Remarkable Opportunity
A wonderful surprise - to find a very well cared for course with extraordinary staff. From beginning to end, staff were courteous and efficient. Fairways are thick and great to hit from, sand is fair to hit from, tees well cared for, greens mowed to roll smooth and at appropriate speeds. Greens have actual collars. Very interesting design, no two holes seems alike. Generous fairways but plenty of water and tree trouble if you hit astray.
Lockwood Folly Country Club
Played On 05/20/2022Not worth the drive
Sad to see this fine layout crumbling due to lack of care. Fairways are thin and greens should be rated as mostly under repair. Greens do not roll well and have lots of weeds and dead spots. Many had extensive sand and repair spots. Oddly, the many bunkers are in reasonably good condition - they have more depth of sand than many courses in the Ocean Isle Beach or Calabash area. But I cannot recommend the course anymore - it is in worse shape than any of the others I've played in the area.
Steeple Chase Golf Club
Played On 08/11/2021Still Terrific After All These Years
I haven't played here in 16 years but the course is in even better condition than I remember. From tee to green, the conditioning is great. Despite having had a severe storm over the area in the AM, we had no difficulty playing in the afternoon except the traps were in tough shape. Greens are really exceptional for a public course where many players don't know enough to repair their ball marks.
Broadmoor Golf Links
Played On 07/22/2021Glen Oaks Golf Club
Played On 07/09/2021Great Value
I have played this course for many years and I think this year it is in the best condition ever. Fairways are like carpets, sand is OK, tees and greens are very good. Staff is terrific! Carts are good. I played with people who had not played this course before and they were pleasantly surprised that a remote country course would be so well cared for and so reasonably priced. A terrific value with the Hot Deal purchase.
Eagle Chase Golf Club
Played On 04/08/2021Will play here again
Very nice practice facilities - easy to warm up. Many interesting holes. Greens in great shape - still waiting for Bermuda fairways and tees to come in. Lots of elevation changes - it really helped to have an experienced player in our group. Even the bunkers were in pretty good shape. I'll most definitely play here again. Staff are wonderfully friendly.
Galleon/Brigantine at Shipyard Golf Club
Played On 12/28/2020It Isn't What It Used to Be
Shipyard is a beautiful design. Sad to see it in such bad shape. The starter was incredibly incompetent. There were 5 groups on the first tee when he sent us there. We could have hit balls and used the practice green for a half hour before our tee opportunity came.
Our round took 5+ hours - lots of waiting on each hole. The Clipper 9 is torn up with every bunker under repair. The greens are only moderately well cared for. The fairways are extraordinarily thin, it feels like you are hitting off the dirt most of the time. This was not at all the Shipyard of 3+ years ago. I won't play there again until I see a great review.
Red Bridge Golf and Country Club
Played On 07/17/2020A course to travel for
If you're wondering if the long trip to Red Bridge is worth your time, it most definitely is. The course is very well-cared-for, the greens are in great shape, the fairways are a pleasure to hit from. The tees are suffering a bit with the summer heat. Unless you are a real bomber, don't play from the back tees; the course is challenging enough from the white tees. Very friendly staff and a fair price to play.
Glen Oaks Golf Club
Played On 10/04/2019Interesting course
While not a long course, the greens have subtle breaks that easily lead to 3 putts. Fairways are in excellent shape. Greens roll very well. Rough around the greens is getting really thick and makes short chips very challenging. Lots of variation between holes - the par 3's are fairly challenging. Trap placement makes your approach shots really important. Traps are in pretty good condition. A very fun course that can trick you into a double bogey before you know it.
The 500 Club
Played On 05/31/2019Don't Miss This Gem in NC
Larkin has some of the best playing greens in the state. They hold your approach shots nicely and are as smooth as you can imagine. The ball rolls beautifully on them. Fairways are in great shape and the rough is not too thick. I've been playing here for 11 years (started when it had a different owner) and the staff is great. Not a fancy place at all but a wonderful value.
Your feedback is important to us, myronbish. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Larkin Golf Club.
The 500 Club
Played On 05/03/2019Try A Round at Larkin
Course is in very good condition overall. The greens are some of the best around for a public course. They hold an approach shot well and putt very smoothly. There is a nice mix of fairly easy and moderately difficult holes. Numbers 5 and 6 can wreck your scorecard if you aren't careful. Number 9 is a great challenge. 17 gives you a possible eagle from the white tees. Staff is very friendly. If you pay attention to directions, you won't have any problems navigating the housing construction areas.
Rock Barn Golf and Spa - Jackson Course
Played On 06/23/2016Always a place to consider
Wonderful course in great condition - tees, fairways, and greens. People in the pro shop are terrific - friendly and accommodating. Generous fairways, well protected, mostly large greens with a good bit of undulation. Many have more than one level. Receptive and roll true. Good value.
