First Time Playing

Great course. Rude staff.

This was what we hoped would be the nicest course of the six we played in pinehurst. The course itself was BEAUTIFUL,PGA quality greens, but the staff in the golf shop left us feeling like the scum of the earth. Very unfriendly, one guy would not even respond when I greeted him. For what this place charges you should be treated like a king. We were informed that the members keep the price high to keep the riffraff away. We had much better rounds elsewhere.

challenging/difficult green and well maintained

This course is a private course. So, This course has well maintained green and fairway. The course layout is challenging but interesting. The green is difficult for short game and putting.

great but tough courses. tyupical Jack greens

This was a great course to play but difficult and test all your abilities. Lots of room off the fairways but the greens are tough. They are really big but if you are not on the right side, you may 3 putt them because of the severe slopes. We were told by the starter to use one more clubs into every green and he was right. Lots of elevated greens so use that extra club. If you can get a good deal on golf now definitely play it.

Love the course...pace of play was not up to par.

Course was in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes were up to par. Greens had been punched a couple of weeks before so they were a little bumpy. Pace of play really killed the rhythm.

Wonderful course which had just finished greens aerification.

This is a beautiful,unique and challenging golf course. My problem was that they had just plugged and top dressed the greens. This little piece of info should be provided to a prospective golfer before they pay for the tee time. I would definitely have waited 3-4 weeks before playing here.

Great 4 hours

Had a perfect day. Course was in great shape, and pace was good. Staff was friendly, highlighted by a great starter's speech which started off with "those white stakes people use to mark their property, those are not OB stakes. If you can find it, you can play it...." Unless you are scratch golfer, the Blue tees are all you want. Lots of longer irons into crowned greens. A MUST is getting the ball on the right level as the green undulation is huge. Course was in beautiful shape. Played on a super saver - and that was a great value. Resembles in condition and layout to Pinehurst #7 and #8 but is more difficult
