The best courses you can play in Foxfire Village, North Carolina

“Pinehurst’s crown jewel, No. 2, is a masterpiece. I’ve been lucky to play here several times and it never gets old. Donald Ross’s architecture here is so so good with tons of variety that forces you to hit tons of different shots.”

“Tom Doak did an amazing job with this property, which used to be a course called The Pit. The routing is superb, the course is playable for all handicaps, but still challenging for low handicaps, and the seclusion compared to the other courses at the resort is special.”

“Pinehurst No. 4 is an outstanding resort course that’s the brain child of Gil Hanse renovation of an original Donald Ross routing. Perfectly conditioned w/ excellent new greens that roll true but a bit slow. The stretch of the 13th & 14th around water is my favorite on property.”

“Mid Pines is always a treat. It’s a bit more adventurous and demanding off the tee compared to Pine Needles, mixing in some fantastic doglegs & significant elevation changes for the Sandhills. It has classic Donald Ross turtleback greens but they weren’t as slick as I’d hoped.”

“When it comes to strictly the golf course, it might be my favorite layout I’ve played. Just a ton of fun. Pace was slow but never felt slow, because you want to circle these greens twice to decide how to play your chip or putt.”

“Pine Needles is a brilliant, classic Donald Ross design with ample room off the tee but puts a premium on iron play and putting. Fantastic Par-4 variety and excellent quartet of Par-3s that are devilishly difficult, but it’s all about the greens here. Parkland golf at its best.”

“Had my lowest round of the week (78) at Pinehurst (No. 8), a solid Tom Fazio design that’s tighter off the tee than many courses, but its large greens are more benign. Very good Par-5s and a brute of a finisher; in excellent shape but cart-path only without warning was a bummer.”

“Loved it. No. 3 is a “short course” because it has 6 par-3s and a handful of short 4s, but it feels like a complete golf course for the most part. Great Ross green complexes and land movement with a good variety of holes.”

“Expensive pitch and putt. Everything is off mats. Several holes that are less than 70 yards. Took 2 hours to finish 9 holes”

“You don’t go to Pinehurst to play 7, it’s just an ok filler. A lot of the same elevated tee, down to the fairway, and uphill to the green. Greens very grainy…”

“Talamore is a fairly gentle handshake (unless you find yourself in their signature pot bunkers) compared to other Pinehurst area courses, this Rees Jones & Greg Muirhead design is well-conditioned. Several strong dogleg Par-4s & some pretty Par-3s; slick but pretty flat greens.”

“Good course but needs a facelift. Greens are too grainy and slow. A fun walk and some interesting holes, particularly on the front 9.”

“I enjoyed number nine. Interesting layout in the sense that you don’t hit a ton of drivers, but it’s pretty fun and played in a tournament here. Only resort course with bent greens and they are smooth.”

“Number 5 is a fun spot. Don’t remember it a ton but a cool spot and has plenty of good holes. Good final hole along the road and I remember a fun par three over water downhill.”

“A good budget option in this part of the country. Nothing spectacular but a good solid course for the money. Anything over $75 though is too much.”
