fun course

This was a fun challenging course. The day we played there was a slow foursome on front but they came out and pace pick up quickly. Many fun holes where you can be rewarded with a good shot if you are even or below hole.

Beautiful golf course that challenges all levels

I have played this course numerous times since moving to North Carolina. The course is always in excellent shape. The staff is friendly and helpful. Food is great. Prices are outstanding.
The course is a challenge for golfers of all skill levels, yet not so difficult that it makes your round not be fun. The course is always green and in good shape. Bunkers are excellent. Greens roll true and consistent. The course has some beautiful holes and is well laid out with a mixture of good holes, easy holes, and good risk reward holes.
I would recommend this course to anyone.
My father in law from Ohio who has played lots of nice courses said after playing 7 lakes that it was his new favorite course and couldn't be quiet about the beauty of the course and the condition.

Fantastic Course, increadible Greens (!), one of the TOP I ever played ! ;-))

This is GREAT fun to play !
I was playing many many courses all over the world.... and this is for sure on the Podium of my TOP 3!

Fastest greens I ever played (ok... I´m not a Tour Pro....but... ;-) )

Playing from the back tees ... it´s pretty challenging but not unfair.
Some room for drives... giving some opportunity to go for the green ;-)

Staff is very friendly, had some nice discussion about golfing.. got also nice tips for my next trip around.

There´s no need to visit Pinehurst #1-6... you will get more value for the money here !!

Great Golfing Experience

Our group has played Seven Lakes CC for 10 years as part of our annual golf trip. Every year we play a 36 hole match play tournament on the best course for all players, and 7 Lakes wins hands down. The conditions of the course this year were outstanding and the best of all the courses we played during the week. We will be back next year for the excellent golf and exceptional hospitality!

Great Family Fun

Took the family out to our favorite course in the Sandhills and had an excellent time. The staff made us feel like pros and took great effort in making our experience memorable. The course was outstanding and we look forward to going out again soon. A must play if you are visiting the pinehurst area!

Excellent Course

Our group of about 20 go to the Pinehurst Area twice a year for our golf outing. We have played this course several times. I want to play this course every time. The course and staff are great. They actually say Thank You for Playing our course. Some courses seem to forget we are customers but not this one. Give it a try I think you will love it as I do.

The course itself was amazing, very playable for everyone and in great condition. You owe it to yourself to play this course, you will have a great time and be treated exceptionally.

Diamond in the Rough

I've played almost every course in the Pinehurst area, and this is one of my favorites. It's worked into my schedule every time I visit. The overall condition of the course is always top notch, but the greens are impeccable. As an experienced golfer, the one thing you look for in a golf course is greens that roll fast and true. I can't wait to get back there!

Time and money very well spent!

Although thecourse was private for a while so it was hard Paceet out there, now that it is semi private so many more golfers get the chance at this jewel of the Pines. The course is so tightly manicured its incredible. Pace of play is great also. Course is absolutely stunning. Cannot wait for my next round! Oh yeah the prices are unrivaled even from much lesser municipal courses!

Beats any Pinehurst Course any day of the week!

This course is outstanding. The greens and fairways are the best I have ever seen them. The staff is also equally as outstanding. I would come back even if the course was in poor condition simply based on how great the staff continues to treat its customers. If you are in the Sandhills and don't play this course, you missed out on the best! P.S. Bring some food to feed the turtles on hole 10 when you tee off from the island!!!!

Hidden gem

This course is hidden amoung all the heavy weights in the Pinehurst area, but can hold it's own with any of them. Tiny greens, lots of elevation changes, great variety of holes and shots - this course has it all. Has the feel of going back in time to a simpler, more traditional layout that requires shotaking to score well, but is fun for all levels. And the price can't be beat - $60 here or +$225 at Pinehurst or +$200 for Pine Needles - it's a no brainer. We wil be back.

Course and Staff Excellent

I was in a group of 10 golfers that showed up in the rain at the course. Chris, Mike, and the rest of the staff at the club and in the restaurant were outstanding in their treatment to us. It set the tone after the rain tapered down to allow us to play. Even with all the rain, the course played incredibly well and the greens were the best we played the whole weekend long. We already plan on going back next year for the whole day. We had to best of both worlds, a great course to play on and an exceptional staff to deal with.
