Played today in less than 4 hours, but was accosted on the 14th tee by the club pro, who told me and my foursome we were more than 3 holes behind. Next, he demanded we skip hitting our tee shots and play out of the fairway to “help keep pace.” We checked our watches on the 15th tee, at which point it had been only 3 hours since we started. The pro made a point not to say anything about pace since he knew we were ahead of schedule. It ruined my round and affected my playing partners as well. When we got to 16 fairway, we saw the group ahead in 17 fairway - only a hole ahead. Behind us was a threesome and a twosome of members who had obviously complained - but in reality it was the course’s fault for letting those groups out on a holiday weekend morning and setting the expectation they shouldn’t be waiting.

All in all a horrible customer service experience and I won’t be coming back. Who cares what kind of shape the golf course is in after the staff ruins your round and your playing partners’ too?

Has the potential to be a gem in the Pinehurst area with some interesting holes. Mostly designed for older players with wide fairways and relatively simple green complexes. Unfortunately most of the greens were baked out with a number of dead spots, and the ones that weren’t were kept very long and rolled very slow.
