target golf so don't miss the fairway or u will loose your ball. great course with fast greens and a great mix of holes

Nice layout, relaxing place

Lack of a restaurant, eat elsewhere if you have an early tee time.

Nice Course. First few holes are nice then 6-9 put you asleep, but the back nine is interesting and worth it.

People down home & nice

Great course, relaxed atmosphere, close to center of Pinehurst off Rt 5.

Early in '03 they had a problem with the greens - after areation in early May they are fine.

One of my Top Five courses to play on a golf trip. As others have noted, built on an old quarry with lots of hills, mounds, and elevations. Every hole is different. No blind shots. Lots of trees, but the woods can be played out of. Played 36 holes on 5/30. Excellent condition. Not in a housing development. They allow six pack coolers.

Helpful yet unobtrusive staff.

Greens, variety of shots

none

This is a fun layout, I like the island green. I think it's #11. The staff really takes good care of you. A must play if your in the area.

Great

Layout. Not the normal course layout. The course is kinda tight, so you have to be on your game or you may need to bring a lot of balls.

Some of the back tees were not in the best shape.

Just played this last week and was not disappointed. This is one of my favorite courses in the area, especially for the price right now...around $40. I have paid as high as $90 to play it, but I'm not sure it's worth that much.

views and challenges

some greens have almost impossible pin placements!!

Loved this course. Stunning views in a couple of spots. If you spray the ball, you will be suicidal after the round, but if you can keep it under control, you will enjoy the layout a lot. The greens were nice (pretty quick) and not that hard to read. I was pretty nervous about playing at The Pit based on reputation, but I found it rather playable!! Of the 4 courses we played, The Pit and Tobacco Road were my favorites.

pro shop was okay, friendly people.

Visual interest and playability.

You'll find it difficult locating your ball for the most errant of tee shots.

Our group loved this course. It's been around a while, but it's a joy to play. There is a lot of challenge to the course and it is visually very interesting. I stop short of saying beautiful as it was built in a massive sand mine area that seems to still be operating. The whole course is a series of sand piles and pits and holes and valleys and such. It is one of the most interesting courses in the Pinehurst area. The playable areas are very manicured, but this does not have that "country club" appearance. It's more like golf on a moto-cross track. Don't get the impression I am saying anything negative about it because it is a great track all around and very playable.
