Public Golf Courses in North Carolina
Here are some of the top public golf courses in North Carolina:
1. Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Course in Southern Pines, was laid out by the Scottish born golf architect, Donald Ross. The course, which has always been lovingly maintained, has in recent years been restored back towards the original Donald Ross design, while the greens' foundations have nevertheless been rebuilt to USGA specifications.
2., 3. and 4. Pinehurt Resort and Country Club in the village of Pinehurst is home to no less than 8 different golf courses as well as the Pinehurst Golf Academy. The most highly rated are No. 2, No. 4 and No. 8. The No. 2 course was designed by Donald Ross in 1907. The No. 4 and No. 8 courses are both designs by Tom Fazio (2000 and 1996 respectively), although the No. 4 course owes a great debt to an earlier Ross course on the same site. The No. 2 is especially known as a challenging course, not because of any individual feature, but because of the combination of features that it offers, and hence is a popular site for golf championships, more in fact than any other course in the country, including having hosted the 2005 U.S. Open Championship.
5. Rivers Edge Golf Course is an Arnold Palmer Signature Course in Shallotte. The course is home to spectacular landscapes, and six of the holes sit upon bluffs which overlook the Shallotte River and surrounding marshlands.
6. Ocean Ridge Plantation in Sunset Beach is home to four courses: "Lion's Paw", "Panther's Run", "Tiger's Eye", and new in 2007, "Leopard's Chase". While all the courses have something special to offer, perhaps the best known and most highly regarded is the "Tiger's Eye" which has been rated as one of the best public golf courses in the country by Golf Digest.
