    A nice 18 hole course just off hwy 158, 3 miles before the Wright Bro's Bridge. It's a public course. It's a nice place to get a round of golf in. It's not fancy but they have a few water holes and a few par 5s and long par 3s. They have a pro shop, pull cart & carts available. They have rentals clubs and they sell beverages.

    Yes, there is a graveyard in the middle of the course, and yes, the restroom is just outside of the 'clubhouse/check-in desk'. But, I am returning for another round of 18 holes. I was eager to try out a few courses during our vacation in the OBX. Since we had the space in our rental minivan, I had the opportunity to pack up my clubs. The location is just across the bridge from the OBX entrance, about 15 miles north of Kitty Hawk. They have an online reservation system but on a Monday morning, I had the flexibility to walk-on the course. For a mere $49, my fee included 18 holes and a cart. I'd say the course is on 'par' with some of the FFX Cty courses. There were a few others golfing early in the morning. With the ease of a cart and the semi-privacy of my lone golfing, I cracked the course in just over 2 hours.

    Just some dudes with sticks and balls.

    Just played my first round of golf ever. Had a blast. The carts seemed like they were new, the course is relatively flat. It was a great place to learn the game.

    I was vacationing in OBX with my family, and it was one of my goals to play a round of golf with my Dad. We're from Philadelphia and normally golfed at Juniata Golf course mostly. My dad is an avid golfer (played just under PGA level, cross country) and is a 2 handicap. I'm much more of a beginner and am a 15 handicap (lol). We arrived and had a very smooth check-in process and the lady working the pro shop was very courteous and friendly. The only complaint I had was that when I called for pricing I was given a price of $39/ a person, which is VERY competitive vs the surrounding courses, but when we arrived she informed me that those were the "local" prices, and it ran us another $20. Not the biggest deal, and we didn't make a fuss about it, but a pain the communication on the phone wasn't the best. The course was beautiful, although a more seasoned golfer would probably say it was average looking. We had an 8:30AM tee-time and the course was very wet with morning dew. Greens on the front nine in the early AM were VERY slow, as were the middle of the fairways. No puddles, but definitely made you put more "oomph" into your swings and putts, and the ball wouldn't roll very much after the initial landing. The back nine was more dry, especially towards the final holes, so putts would travel farther and have a lot more break on them. The course was mostly straight with a few dog leg rights (I think one on each side of the course), and had some very short PAR 4's and some longer PAR 3's. We had a single player in front of us, and a group of three older players behind us, and the pace of play was beautiful. We never got bunched up, never had to play through anyone nor did anyone play though us, and we never felt rushed at any point. Everyone on the course was awesome and kind, which is always refreshing. We got through the course in just a few minutes shy of three hours, and we made sure to grab a couple drinks from the pro shop as other reviews have indicated there aren't refreshments at any of the holes I could spot. Not a complaint as we just grabbed 2 each and we had no issues. The pro shop is small but serves all the needs you'll have pre- and post- play, and the driving range was kept very neat and player spots had plenty of space in between. I'm not a picky person, and I consider myself pretty easygoing, but our experience was really, really good. We already plan to come back next year and visit again now that we will know the course a bit more. Thank you Holly Ridge for the amazing time! ((NOTE - in the first 1-5 holes there are some power lines that are in the flight path of some of the opening drives, we played it as a free shot with no penalty as we hit them FOUR times.))

    This was worst course I have ever seen. Don't waste your money. No fairways, haven't cut the grass in days.

    I agree completely with Steph A. Greens are tiny and not maintained. However the cheapest place around.

The pool is not mentioned on other reviews and yelp at one point refused to add it as a category. I see they deleted it again. The main club house is beautiful and newer. Signage is new and on the bypass road. The pool is around 800 feet or so from the club house. It has nice parking adequate for the size. The lot is well maintained. Using the facility is for members or their guest. I must say guest passes have been a pain. It's been a while since obtaining one. The pool over the years has been improved. There is a toddler splash pool that has a canopy. The main pool offers a diving board. It's not large enough for competition. Restrooms are off deck and very basic. Guards do a good job of maintaining it and are friendly. Typically two guards are on duty, one watches the main pool, then relieves the other on breaks. No outside food or drink is permitted other than bottle water. No glass. You can order from the dining room and the food is solid. Service has been slow when busy, so plan ahead. So now Duck Woods Country Club pool has got some much needed Yelp love. Check into a membership if you enjoy country club life. They also offer two upscale dining rooms, tennis and golf. The locker rooms are very nice and are in the main building.

This one is shorter and flatter but just has fun and challenging. They get you checked in and ready with your cart. They have 2 putting greens & a driving range. They have a few challenging water holes. The wind can add another element of difficulty. Beautifully maintained course. Nice 19th hole bar. I would definitely play here again.

I got paired up with Marty and George. Two guys about my age who were visiting from Upstate New York. They were joined by their two sons and a daughter-in-law. We teed off at 7:30a with an overcast sky and temps in the low 70's just perfect golf weather if you ask me. There was no one behind us and no one in front so we were right on stride with similar games. I like the 5 different tee box options. The tee boxes are wide, grassy, well maintained and well marked. The fairways were wide with not a lot of trouble if you did happen to go wide. Even the 'out of bounds' was friendly. There is a fair amount of water but it does not really come into play except on four holes. Hole #7, at 143 yards over water will remind you of #17 at Sawgrass and the Island green. Hole #9, is a 450 yard par 5 & the Signature Hole. This offers the 'risk reward' option where you have a decision to drive it about 250 yards to a land bridge. You will then have about 150 to 200 yards over the water to the green. If you are fortunate, the pin will be in the front. If not you will find it's a very big green with lots of elevation changes. The staff is great and very friendly and welcoming. The green fee might be a bit on the high side but it's worth it for a great OBX golf experience.

Since you're on the narrow strip of the island, it can get very windy and of course mess with your game if you're not prepared. The staff were ok, nothing bad, but also nothing great. For the price of the round and everything else, I would've expected a little more and a more memorable experience. You're basically paying a high price for an everyday course. We had a good day, but nothing to write home about.

I have seen this course go through good times and bad, both conditions and staff. I will say, that this is a great course and I have always enjoyed playing here! That being said, the course is in decent shape with the exception of the greens. Players (hackers) are not repairing ball marks or taking care of the course (common etiquette). I played this week and observed the following: The pro shop allow groups of five players, extremely slow play ( no rangers to be found anywhere), players hitting three and four tee shots each, three foursomes on one hole with a fourth pulling up to the tee box, players in the woods for extended periods of time looking for balls, players playing balls from out of bounds (people's yards) and players driving carts where they don't belong (next to the green) !! The pro shop is obviously taking full advantage of dynamic pricing, at $180- 200 per round during the week, maybe if the course was in top shape and it was being maintained and managed properly!!! Played two rounds, no beverage cart in sight. I will wrap up this review by saying, I am extremely disappointed with how the course is being run and maintained, to charge the premium prices and have the conditions be what they are is ridiculous!! To the management and staff... it's not about the quantity of play, it's about the quality! This is a beautiful course and it deserves better!
