The Snow course was in perfect condition. Greens were medium-fast. My only gripe is that by 4:15pm when we finished, the Pro shop was closed. We couldn't play another 9 nor could my friend buy merchandise.
GET YOUR SHOPPING DONE BEFORE YOU PLAY.

Warm (mid 60s) and partly sunny day. Course conditions were fairly wet from the inch of rain the day before but balls did not plug. Bunkers didn't hold water. Greens were receptive leaving mild ball marks. Just fast enough where my preference was always under the hole. Rolled fairly true. Rough is non-existent as exhibited by tan colored dormant bermuda mown low. Fairways were dyed green and with the rain left lots of tight lies. Tee boxes were good since I didn't struggle to find a good spot. Can't wait for the growth spurt to happen.

Overall, the course is in great shape. The greens rolled fairly true. The rough is lower than normal and lays down in its dormant state. Some people me not like how thin their ball may lay in the fairway but I have no problem with that. Bunkers were raked. Tee boxes weren't too beat up with divots. Please fix your ball marks otherwise stay away from this course because it deserves to be maintained to maximize enjoyment for all. I love the water views here.

This course is in great shape tee to green. Greens were receptive to shots so you can really go after pins. You might have to fix an extra ball mark or two because they get a good amount of play being the closest course to the southern half of the Outer Banks. Be warned that if the wind is above 25 mph, the teeth really come out. Wayward shots are heavily penalized as in lost ball. Hole#4 might be the most tricked up. The tee shot is either over the hazard or layup short but It varies 25 yards depending on which side of the fairway you land. Par 4 Hole#12 is a blind tee shot that will make long drivers curse and demands a long second shot up hill that a lot of players may find too challenging. Hole#5. #9 and #18 (2 par 5s and a par 4) are the most scenic in the OBX. The Sound runs along the entire length. Negatives include a limited flight range, modest putting green, and lack of short game practice area. I can get over that. If you can't, the nearest decent facility is The Pointe roughly 30 minutes away. Rates are the 2nd highest around. Currituck club holds that spot and both managed by the same company. I truly enjoy the layout even though it's set within the waterside neighborhood. The homes look kept up. I've never eaten here so I can't comment on food. If you're good with the price and appreciate water views, the shot value is there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Overall, this course is in good shape given the amount of play it gets. The greens are NOT pitted with ball marks left behind. Staff was friendly and quick despite I was a cheap GolfNow customer. The turf problem areas have been sodded over. I will be back.

The only thing that detracted from a good playing experience was the light punched greens lead to bumpy rolls and slow green speeds. You can barely see the punch. Very small holes and no top dressing. The seed heads on the poa annua were popping too which didn't help putts roll out. Some people can adjust better than me so this could be a minor point. Course looks like in great shape.

Early Spring is a tough time to play. Bermuda grass is still dormant. Greens get aerated. People are coming out to play. At Currituck club, the greens were punched but still fast and puttable. Not sandy. They have the most undulating greens around OBX. There's a lot of new sod on tee boxes and some bunkers removed last fall. All good improvements. All things considered, this is the best of the OBX at the moment.

Let's not kid ourselves of what this winter is so far in Chesterfield County. Mild and a little wet. Sometimes, borderline hot. All Bermuda grass is dormant. The course isn't growing. So the rough is low everywhere, very thin in spots and bare in others. You may find drives in the fairway unrewarding because of the soft thin lie where chunking or skulling is a real possibility. Nothing can be done about this now. Ball can rest on bare lies in the rough. But the real fun is on the greens. Above the hole is treacherous and defensive. It has become a local knowledge course because middle of the green isn't good anymore because of there's alot lot movement. The putting surface is hard. No ball marks. If you find this type of green upsetting, try somewhere else. I like the challenge.
Course conditions earned an average only because of the dormant Bermuda but it's Playable under difficult scoring expectations.

I haven't played here since the greens were redone. This place can compete with any course in the area. The slope, speed and consistency was very surprising on a cold winter day. Even chip shots grab your attention because of the need to stay below the hole. It was a lot of fun. I highly recommend playing the Highlands.

I play this course 4 to 5 times a year. Normally a good value considering the views, course layout and conditions. This time, I felt cheated on that enjoyment. Either GolfNow failed to post aeration warning and/or the golf course didn't care to. There weren't recently punched so maybe that's why GolfNow didn't have it but the golf course didn't do all they could to make putting less of a game of plinko. They could have dressed the sand filled holes are he same height as the putting grass surface to lessen the craters and roll the greens for a smoother surface. Neither existed. What a shame. I WOULD NOT HAVE PAID TO PLAY KNOWING THESE CONDITIONS.
I do recommend the course but wait 2 to 3 weeks for this to heal unless they fix it.

I consider this a local course for me. Other than the bunkers, it's in great shape. I didn't have any shots in the bunkers but they look like they were either in process of work or need to be. Greens rolled very well. Fairways were hard due to the lack of rain but this isn't a complaint. Tee boxes were not wore out. Rough was manageable at worst but generally very playable. Two of us played in 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon.

Tee times are based on a foursome pace regardless no matter how many in your group. My playing partner and i were behind a husband and wife. She needed ample shots to reach the green which wasn't a problem since they were two and maintained pace. Her husband was driving the cart and would advance to his ball while she would hit and walk. Repeat. Repeat. Never hit into them until hole #14. Severe dogleg right, downhill and blind. We saw the cart move off. Waited. I called out my line ahead of the swing, hug the corner. But the result was a high over the trees. Husband screams that I almost hit his wife. It's blind, downhill and downwind. If she's in a blind landing zone, keep your cart visible until she's out of the way. Don't run ahead of the walker. It wasn't intentional, definitely regretful to scare anyone.. Gabby, the cart lady, stopped by later to explain the trauma. Sea Scape has half a dozen holes where the landing area can be blind. Use your cart to watch out for each other. Course is in excellent shape. Enjoy, have fun and play safe.

This is a local course for me. I used to play it back when it was just 9 holes. Today, the rack rate is steep but there are reasonable ones thru golfnow. The conditions are good. The layout is a little quirky and there's a noticeable difference between the original 9 and the 2nd 9. Half of the holes, I won't see my drives land bc of hills and only 2 greens are somewhat elevated on approach. It winds thru a big housing development but it's laid out well where you won't find yourself hitting close to someone's backyard. Bombers may like this course as there are no severe doglegs and just 2 holes were a hazard traverses completely across the fairway.
I paid $50 on an early Saturday afternoon round and would happily do it again. However, I was informed it was half their normal rate and sometimes cart isn't included. I was questioned by the staff to see my booking confirmation. Apparently, some tee times don't include cart. Luckily, mine included but be advised to check before you book as this could lead to a heated conversation. They need to straighten that out and make it a more enjoyable check in.

As usual, this course is staying in good shape. A good mix of doglegs left and right. Tuesday afternoon and they're running a beverage cart. Nice service. I had a great time. As with all courses in the area, it's significantly more difficult as the wind blows harder. A few of the holes have elevated greens so club correctly for both situations. ENJOY!

Perhaps slightly narrower than other surrounding courses, Seascape is more challenging than what the scorecard may suggest. Select tees carefully
It's in good shape. The greens rolled well. Fairways are not in prime shape yet until we get some heat for growth to occur.
There's no practice range here so be ready to putt a little bit and go.
I recommend to all levels. Enjoy the round!

Once again, Currituck club delivers excellent winter conditions. The green were smooth and quick to the point of not liking putts from above the hole. Bunkers were groomed well. the fairways were dormant so low running shots went on and on. The majority of the people playing are members so it feels very private. Most of the homes bordering the course were eerily quiet and empty. This is a great golf course.

Even though the Bermuda is gone dormant giving up it's green color for brown, this course is still very enjoyable and absolutely value priced. Feels like a private course. The area is very empty which is typical until the rental season starts again next spring. Best practice area of all courses in the OBX. Most challenging greens of all courses in the OBX. Pick the right set of tees and enjoy.

Fairways in winter condition but getting lots of runout. Greens were pretty quick and great shape.

Despite the rain last week, the course is in good condition. Sure, there were some areas wet/muddy. Watch your ball if it's headed to the Bermuda rough. This time of the year it can settle down and hide. Leaves would be the other factor but greens were blown clean. Fairways and tees boxes were maintained. At first, they charged me for an extra cart but changed their mind and refunded me. They even had a beverage cart on a Sunday. I live nearby and try to play here a handful of times per year.

I play here 6 to 10 times a year. Part of my rotation. October is one of the best times to play. Course is in great shape. Bermuda rough can be somewhat penal so keep it in the short grass or you might lose a ball or two. Greens are large but the most undulating around. They all slope back to front (e.g. higher in the back) so going long is generally bad. Bunkers aren't rutted out but with COVID rules, no raking so take relief from divots. Not tricked up but beware of the hazard lines and forced carries. Play from the right tees. A couple (#1 & #13) are elevated to give you a nice view of the hole. As with all courses in OBX, if the wind is 10 mph or more, know the direction relative to each hole and play for it. The practice area features natural grass with normal range balls instead of limited flight. Very large practice green for putting. Seriously deep practice bunker for sand enjoyment. Pro shop has some cool fellas to help direct you out. Fairly comfortable lounge if you need a bite or drink. Each cart is outfitted with a color display of each hole to give you typical distance information as well as player selected targets. Being the only course in the Northern beaches, rates are usually top tier so be ready for it.
