How is the course?:
Aberdeen Ridge Golf Links is a par 3 track located a short drive south of Pinehurst, and opened for play September 2001. Planned to eventually include a full 18-holes, architect/owner/pro Scott Shepherd placed the existing "back nine" of this course along a ridge. The resulting elevation changes of 50 to 70 feet provide for some dramatic shots. The rolling fairways are generally open, and play to large, undulating greens, averaging 4,000 to 7,000 square feet. The Donald Ross inspired greens require an accurate approach shot in order to hold them. Aberdeen Ridge plays from 850 to 1,500-yards and offers three sets of tees to accommodate a variety of handicaps. There are four forced carries over water, and the course is not heavily bunkered. For additional information call (910) 944-7000 or go to www.1strategolf.com.

The course was built in 1998. This eighteen hole course features a front nine that is open and a back nine that is cut through a wooded area.
