First time playing course. Booked online through course website that is linked to golfnow so it prepaid. Winter conditions on course which meant brown grass and dormant greens that were very fast! Received a reduced rate gree fee which made the conditions acceptable. Plan to return in warmer months!

Great course. Bear I've played from New Bern to Wilmington. Can find deals for $45 dollar 18 holes. Layout of 5 tee boxes to choose from. Greens very fast and for most part nice spacious landing areas for quick play.

Well, the course itself gets 5 stars even though I didn’t play my best today…shot a 101. I’m normally mid to high 80s. It was a little windy and chilly. Got stuck behind members who wouldn’t let me play through…that’s how they roll at their courses though. The tee boxes are very elevated and the further back the tee box, the higher. Some were over 6 feet tall and almost a 45° angle to walk up/down. Not good for folks with knee issues or anything of that nature. The 3 staff members I spoke to were nice.

My wife and I just moved to New Bern and found a great deal on Groupon for a round of 18 with a cart. The club house has a ton of merch to choose from, the grill was reasonably priced and the service was great! And although I blame my putting game on the rain from before, we had a wonderful time and the course is beautiful and well maintained.

A challenging but fun course. The greens where in top notch shape. The tee boxes where are great. The fairways were very good shape with very little dampness after a lot of rain. I can't wait to come back and play again.

Very glad I decided to drive up from Atlantic Beach to try this course. I found excellent greens with subtle breaks and beautiful fairways. Significant rain overnight did not restrict driving carts. Course is mostly flat but mounding makes it interesting. The green complexes are first rate. Bunkers were freshly raked and tee boxes are very good. Did not use the range, but it looks good. Only drawback are the broken cart paths... I'm glad I don't play off of them. Got a great green fee deal on TeeOff.

Poor staff putting a group of 5 out first slowed play down to a crawl. Course layout is good but in need of maintenance.

Tee to green was in great condition. The greens are next level with speed and pin placement and true. You have play this one. The Green keeper is the Man . We played Saturday afternoon in a little rain that didn't stop the speed of the greens.

Very nice course! Lots of water, sand traps, and mounds. Greens were in great condition. Above avg speed which I liked. All together it’s a fun, challenging and beautiful course. Found deal online $65 for 2 players with cart which is very reasonable for a course of this caliber.
