I spent a week in the Outer Banks and wanted to play a few rounds of golf. We stayed in a cottage near the Wright Brothers Memorial, so I googled several local courses. Most were $60 to $90 per round, but Holly Ridge GC in Harbinger was only $49 with a cart, $37 to walk. The reviews were not appealing, but I gave it a shot.

I walked and thoroughly enjoyed the course layout, good greens, and the friendliness of the pro shop staff. The fairways were rough in spots, but very playable. I get very appreciated and with the walking deal, I opted to play 2 more times that week. With a relatively flat layout, the course was very walkable.

The course isn’t very long , 5500 yards from the tips, but several holes were challenging with water hazards on a number of holes.

I will certainly go back when I’m in that area again.

While this course has a great layout, paying $54 for a 1 pm tee time with spotty greens and poor bunkers is overpriced.

The signs denoting countries at each hole is a nice touch, but the signs are hard to read and should be cleaned up or replaced.
