Nice lay out
Very nice course. It is a bit out in the country.
Nice terrain and many streams. Greens were in good shape and putted nicely. If staying in the Pinehurst area about a 40 minute drive.
I my opinion worth the drive

A nice little gem in the middle of nowhere. Greens in good shape, consistent. Plenty fast and large. Few ball marks. LikeTifeagle Bermuda. The whole property is not overly manicured but the areas in play are well-maintained. Traveling to So. Pines from Wisconsin via a winter in Fl. Nice overseeding at this dormant time. Sooner or later I need to get better chipping out of dormant grasses. We’ll be back.

Hidden Gem!
I had not played this course for about ten years, but, remembered it as one my golf buddies and I liked. It was nice to see the renovations had improved upon a good thing. The routing was still the same, but the course had a huge improvement in greens, sand traps, and tees. I highly recommend this course.
