Played here 2-4-10, in cold, wintry conditions, mainly because it was the only course in the Pinehurst area that was not Cart Path Only, and we had a guy who wasn't up to the extensive walking back and forth across fairways. Course may have once been worthwhile, but is seriously run down and in very poor shape. Design is generally OK, but is a little quirky, as apparently some holes have been rerouted from their original layout, and there is an unusual degree of distance between greens and tees: not a walkable course in my estimation. Course is also fairly tight, and not very well marked. Some challenging holes, including good use of elevation change and water. Tee boxes were OK, but fairways are severely rutted, with loots of drainage problems evident. Bunkers were very bad, and the greens were only so-so, even considering the time of year. Pro shop is minimal, with no snack bar, but the guy on duty was friendly, and made us feel welcome. However, there are LOTS of courses in the Pinehurst area and this one should be absolute last on your list.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Worse than average course for the area
