Three of us played. Fairways were extremely wet. Greens were in great shape considering it was Oct 23rd. Cart fees were too high considering the condition of the carts. One of the other groups on the course had the roof come off their cart as it was not fastened on properly. None of the carts had windshields which considering how windy it was would have been nice to have. The cart I used often had trouble starting.

I found the course long and difficult for the following reasons. The course had a bad distribution of par 5's and par 3's. On the back 9, 13 is a par 4, 14, 15, 16 are long par 5's and 17 is a par 4. If you are not skilled in the use of fairway woods you will find these holes extremely long. The fairway grass was long on the day we played which prevented the ball from rolling after it landed. There are 4 holes, hole 1, 9, 10 and 18 where you are required to tee off from astro-turf tee boxes. I don't think I will play this course again.

North Granite Ridge is a picturesque golf course. It is somewhat difficult. We had a great time. The pace of play was slow.
We had an issue with the fellow at the pro shop when we arrive to pay our green fees. I had arranged the round for my friend and I through Golfnow. Unfortunately The course did not have two tee spots available even though they had posted them on Golfnow. The fellow in the pro shop gave us a had time and was quite rude. We finally were allowed to tee off. Every one else at the course was polite and nice to deal with. I would recommend playing this course and hope the guy in the pro shop has a better day next time we go there.

The greens are difficult to read. The course was in great shape and the weather was perfect. There is lots of water on this course so bring extra balls. The tee boxes could use some work as they are not flat.

The course was challenging. I did not like teeing off from astro-turf on 4 holes. The grass on the fairways was a little too long. All in all it was an enjoyable round with extremely challenging par 3 holes. There are some long par 5 holes and they are 3 in a row with no relief. This was my first time playing here and due to a lack of directions had trouble finding the next hole on several occasions. We had to cross highway 21, 4 times which I found a little dangerous. They could use lights or a bridge with the traffic as heavy as it is on a long weekend.
