Holly Ridge Golf Links

The course layout is pretty straight forward, a few blind shots but in general a very fair layout. The rough is definitely a hazard, thick and pretty high Bermuda. I probably play here once a month or so, yesterday the pin placements were crazy. Every pin was minimum legal off the front or the back. I hit the ball well all day, but have never had a round with so many putts. It became comical after awhile. The triad has courses with fast greens (sedgefield, colonial, Jamestown, Cardinal) and Holly Ridge is normally in that group but yesterday they played evil. Every hole on a slope and no way to slow the ball. Greens were so fast wind would get the ball moving. Still a good day on one of the triads top cources

Got a change to play here again this week while in the area. Its a fun course to play and in really good shape except for the greens which were just average. its a links style layout and pretty open, but the rough is very tall, thick, and penal. If you miss the fairway, you will find your ball, but will pay for it and may wish you hadnt. The fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. The bunkers had not been raked and were wet and some full of water, basically you had to take them out of play. The greens were firm and very fast, but the had some other different types of grass in them, and this is what keeps the course from getting for stars from me. I am big on the greens being smooth and these were not. Still, its a great, fun layout, and a decent deal for the price.

I play Holly Ridge every week and this is one of the best courses in the area. Always in great shape and the clubhouse and bar and grill staff are some of the best. You won't find a course in better condition in the area.

Played this course yesterday in a tournament and I was very surprised. The course is wide open with fairways lined with mounds. Very inviting for all skill level of golfers. The greens were some of the fastest I have ever played. Slight undualtions on the greens make green reading and putting speed a must. Even with the dry weather we have have the last month the fairways were plush. This is a must play if u are in the area.

Played at Holly Ridge for the second year in a row when I was in the area. I really like the course. It has some rolling elevation changes and movement in the fairways. The fairways and tee boxes were in good shape. The greens had some sand on them but we're extremely fast. You couldn't stop the ball for anything which made it challenging. The course is mainly pretty open. But there is some water around and the rough is extremely thick Bermuda. Getting in it was basically a stroke penalty at least. Would love to play it once when the greens weren't sandy. Bc I really like this one.

My wife played here during a golf outing for work and afterward said I would like it. She was right. Even though we have had a lot of rain recently, the course was in good condition. Greens had been sanded as part of fall conditioning, but they were in excellent shape and rolled true.

The course is reasonably challenging with a good mix of hole lengths, fairway and greenside bunkers, and water. But almost every green is open in the front so you don't have forced carries. There are four sets of tees (blue, white, yellow, and red). My wife played the most forward tees and this allowed her not to have forced carries over water off the tee.

Slow play is the worst, so I am happy to report that we teed off at 2:30p on a Wednesday afternoon and finished by 6:00p -- a 3.5 hour round, which is awesome. We caught up to a foursome on the back 9 and when they saw us they picked up their pace of play. Depending on day and time YMMV.

$31 during the week to ride 18, and $23 to walk 18. Course is not flat, but it is walkable if you are in reasonable shape.

Should also note that they have a nice practice putting green AND practice chipping green (rare in my experience), as well as a driving range. We didn't eat but the grill looked nice.

This course is worth its weight in gold. Course was in great shape. Greens were perfect could not have asked for a better place to play. Staff was very friendly. Will play again

Played at Holly Ridge Sunday for the first time. I really enjoyed the course. I loved the layout and the course had some interesting holes and was challenging but not overly hard. Helps to have played there before bc there are some blind shots. The rating would be much higher if the greens had been better. They were Bermuda and we cut down almost to nothing. It was almost impossible to stop a putt near the hole. Especially if it was downhill.

Wonderful course! Never have any complaints about the staff or condition of course. Power lines are annoying but are avoidable. Great bar and very nice putting and chipping area. Take cash to course, it's cheaper!

We usually once a year take a weekend trip to the Greensboro area from what I like to call golf mediocrity in Roanoke, Va. and play. This course is a great course period. Not only for the value but the course itself. It was in great shape. FAST greens which I love! Play it.

One of my favorites in this area for sure! Nice staff very friendly people. Well maintained beautiful course !

Great course but I will not be back until they take credit cards. I just checked the calendar and yes, it is 2013. I would have sat down after my round and had a couple beers and some food but did not have cash. Yes they have a cash machine in the club house but I do not want to pay ATM fees from both sides.
