Played here 6-30-15 for the military rate of $115. Price is high, since the course itself is OK, but not superlative. However, it's the only course for 20 miles down NC Rt-12 though Duck, which can be a very trying drive, to Duck Woods Country Club or to Sea Scape. So, one balances the differential price (about $20), versus the commuting hassle...and there's the decision! Personally, I'd prefer my frustrations on the golf course, so I played here.
The course itself is nice enough, not much terrain variation, so it's sand, water, and trees. Still, the layout is interesting, and pretty fair. Tee boxes are flat, landing areas generous, and greens quite large. Most greens are sloped, some contours, but nothing too terrible. Lotsa bunkers. Carts have GPS (don't see that too much any more, what with handhelds so prevalent).
Conditions today were good. Fairways in good shape, with only a few bare spots on very few holes. Greens were surprisingly slow. Bunkers were a bit inconsistent.
Course is pretty compact on the front nine, but strung out over some serious distances on the back. I don't recco walking, especially for seniors like me.
Staff was uniformly excellent: courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. Obviously well-trained! I recommend...
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
