Gem tucked away Southern Pines 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 6, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful views of the lake (reservoir) as the course meanders through a slightly hilly pine forest , skillful challenges that involve multiple flight paths and elevation changes abound, with holes that range from 230-400+ feet, the park also has restrooms and possibly other facilities

Cons:

Parking

Other Thoughts:

I saw someone post about all par 3's not being birdie possible and I disagree. This is more based in skill level as I birdied #2 which is one of the questionable holes and almost birdied the long downhill hole on the back.

Secluded and well designed. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 22, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Clean, with trash cans and benches throughout
- Really high quality course maps available
- Navigation is easy
- Park is full of activity, but from holes 2 - 17 you see none of it (except the walking path)
- The walking path appears throughout the early and later holes and is just far away enough that only a truly awful throw would hit someone walking
- Course was carefully designed to use available space, with good use of terrain and trees to create challenge that isn't annoying

Cons:

- Its kinda easy
- Easier the second time. I took off ten strokes just knowing where the pin was (some are blind) and some awareness of terrain rolling to/away from the pin.
- If you can't avoid a tree at 175', you will hit quite a few trees here. Several holes have trees dotted through the middle of the hole. The hole wants you to grip and rip because its mostly open, but you'll likely chop wood if you do. More of an annoyance than a con

Other Thoughts:

- Very fun course with a few memorable holes
- Several blind holes...I generally hate them unless i have a quality map like this course, then no problem
- Couple of short holes going uphill and long hills playing downhill...fun to struggle to hit a 190' drive due to hills and trees
- Hole 18 needs improvement....its way too easy. 18 should break you off imo, this one was just a rainbow curve left, i hyzer'd a beast about 8 feet from the pin. Easy birdie. Too easy.

- Play this course if you're close by. I drove 35 miles to get here from Ft. Bragg. Worth it, played it 2x.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

One of the best short course I've played. Large variety of drives are useful for this course. I throw backhand 99% of the time, but I do use a forehand on hole 4. There are a variety of backhand throws utilized here: hyzer, anhyzer, hyzer flip, and even a hyzer skip (hole 5). Many holes have a variety of routes (straight/low, spike hyzer). As a whole this course is great for working on a variety of shots for intermediate to pro. This course is also good for beginners first starting out.

Cons:

Even though this course has natural tee pads they are much better than other I've played with natural pads. Concrete is nice, but I do like running in the sand.
A few holes are a little close at times (9 and 11, 12 and 13), but in all the course is laid out well. Good use of elevation etc.

Other Thoughts:

I gave this course a 4 since I feel I can choose different shots on several holes each time I play.

Great course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 7, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very well established course
main course for practicing/playing tournaments
great course to introduce my friends to the sports

Cons:

some of the teepads are difficult to drive off of
only one sign with layout of the hole (1)

Other Thoughts:

Ive been playing for about two years now and i have to say this course never gets old. I'd play more at wildpine but that course is a lot longer and tougher on the edges of the fairways. this course is great for someone of my skill level.
