Great track
Very beautiful views throughout course. Greens in great shape and they run true.Beautiful country, great course.
New course for me!
Excellent course! The only sticking point for me is the drive, I live in Va. Beach so I was a 1:45 minute drive each way but if you live closer this course needs to be on your regular rotation! The greens are TOUGH so bring your A game when putting. I will definitely play here again!
Top tier course
SHP has become my go to course in the area to bring my clients. The course is in fantastic condition and the holes along the water are superb.
A fabulous course off the beaten path!
This Palmer layout sits along the Chowan River/Albemarle Sound in splendid isolation. The crowds have not come and only a few homes have been constructed. That said, the place is a gem! Visually interesting, great greens and grass all around, bring your A game from the tips or something less (like me) and play up. I've played many of the top course from Pinehurst to Doral and this track ranks with the best of them. You will not be disappointed in any way!
Excellent Course
Great Staff, Great Course, Great Friends. I have played the course many times and am fortunate to live nearby. From the GM to the Cart guys, all will do their best to accommodate if possible. TJ and staff have performed expertly, for the course is in absolute great shape. Bunkers need some care, expect the rough to penalize, so keep it in the middle! Expect to see Deer, Bear, Bobcats, Turkey and Eagles, for they also live nearby.
The great course and great service than the price
You can enjoy golf in nature and the facilities are excellent.
The staff is also the best. I'm looking forward to playing excite golf here again.
One of NC’s Best
This is a special test nestled along Salmon Creek and the Albemarle Sound. Perfect fairways, challenging rough and rolling greens. Only the bunkers need some tending to as most are very firm and more concrete than sand. Once that happens, this place will be one of the best on the Eastern seaboard. But frankly, the rest of the course is in such great shape, it still gets five stars for condition.
It doesn’t get much better than the 1-2 finish of 17-18. A par 3 17 along the sound with no bailouts available, followed by a par 5 18 with water left and bunkers in so many landing spots. Don’t overlook 9 as you hit the turn, a long uphill fairway with a couple holes and the sound below you on the right.
Amenities are great, and the course releases so few tee times publicly (usually only on GolfNow) that you can go at your own pace and get little to no resistance or traffic. Definitely have to look into their rent and play deals they offer on weekends.
Wherever you are, this is a drive to get to, but it’s completely worth it. Make a day of it and get to Scotch Hall for a truly great day. Arnold Palmer had some fun with this one.
General management is very poor
We had 12 people going to golf today through labor day. Because of Daniel the general manager they left and won't be back. Its a shame we were treated so poorly by him. Everyone one else is great
Your course is beautiful and the staff at golf pro but your general manager is very unprofessional and is making yall lose so many people going there. Our company Thermo fisher will not go there because of him.
Hi, thank you for reviewing us. We see you rated the course 2-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve before your next round. Feel free to comment on this review or reach out to the team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Scotch Hall Preserve, and we hope to see you again soon.
Great Course
First time there, and I would go back again!! Fairways are plush, greens are perfect, and the staff is great. Definitely recommend anyone to go there and play, you will not be disappointed. Staff knows the bunkers need some work, and let you know up front. My thought, stay out of them and you are fine. This place is a hidden gem!!! Even have golf packages to stay on site.
great course but the general management is very poor.
Bunkers Galore!
I think I played from a majority of them! Course is in fabulous condition. Fairways could be greens, and the greens are near perfect.
Tough course...Palmer has control!
Terrific environment along the inland coast, and some very special hole designs.
The bunkers were not in good condition...too much rain.
Did not score well...but had a great afternoon on this course.
Great Course
Always a pleasure to play at this course. Always in great shape and very friendly service.
Best in Eastern NC
My son and I have played this course twice the past two months. This place is outstanding, the course, the layout, the staff and the amenities, everything was great. Staff in the pro shop have been extremely nice and helpful each time we’ve been there. I definitely recommend this course to anyone and we can’t wait to play there again.
Very poor general management
