Our group of snow-refugees played here 2-7-11, in decent weather (especially for us). Course has recently changed hands, and is now called Hyland Golf Club. Pro shop and outside staff were super, and very customer-focused. Layout/design is about average, with the greens being the major distinguishing features. They are very large, and many slope severely from side-to-side, which is an unusual design these days. Generally, they putted medium fast and true. Bunkers were quite firm, and difficult to play. Fairways were OK, and had been overseeded, so they looked nice and green amid the brown Bermuda rough. Course is relatively flat, and walkable. In any other area, the course would be in the top ten or so, but here in the Pinehurst region, it sufferes by comparison. It's a straightforward design, "what you see is what you get," and it's reasonably priced. I recommend.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
