This was my first time playing in the Pinehurst area, and I was very impressed with this golf course. I played on 2÷5÷16 and it had just rained the previous 2 days, so I wasn’t sure if any of the golf courses would be playable. I didn’t run into any standing water in the fairways, just in 1 sand trap which wasn’t a big deal. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in great shape and they do overseed this course in the winter time which not all courses do. There are 2 courses here and they had us all plays the pines course that morning since the river course was just recently aerated. If you don’t keep your ball in the fairway, you will pay! The one thing I didn’t like about this course was after you finish the front 9 you are nowhere near the proshop. There isn’t much for snacks there anyway so make sure you bring your own food and drinks. Other than that, staff was friendly and overall a good experience.
