The course

What True Blue Golf Club plays like.

Designed by Mike Strantz and opened in 1998, this course features a unique blend of rugged terrain with expansive fairways and challenging waste bunkers. The layout is characterized by dramatic elevation changes and intricate green complexes, making it a strategic test for golfers. Signature holes include the par 3 3rd, with its island like green, and the par 4 18th, which demands precision over water. Known for its impeccable conditioning, the course is suited for both skilled players and adventurous newcomers.

Great layout/design/concept but crowded

Michael, Tampa

Course was in great shape, especially considering the dry conditions.

Tommy, Roanoke Rapids

Good spot and we enjoyed ourselves. A tale of 2 nines; the front felt a little scruffy but the back showed off much better. Would play it again as part of a package. Slow -lay again

Brian, Savannah

Greens a little suspect but great track

George, Chesapeake

Good conditions, good staff, but design was B+

James, Savannah

Great course layout and condition was great! Staff super nice

Rudy, Greer

Tru Blue and Caledonia clearly the marquee courses on Pawley's

William, Whitinsville

My favorite course I’ve played

Mike, Stokes

Hated this course 1st time I played it. Loved it this time.

Andrew, Oxford

Course is normally very fun however this year the staff seemed to be actively trying to make it so we didn't have an enjoyable experience. The starter felt the need to tell us he was disgusted we had caddie girls, the staff in the restaurant all seemed to be miserable and the ranger came around and asked us to speed up because the group in front of us was a hole ahead even though we teed off early and there was no group in the fairway when we teed off and the group behind us was not waiting on us. Also, the course was in the worst conditions of the courses we played all week.

Micah, Apopka

Played it Spring of 2025 and the course was in much better shape than 2026. Mildly disappointed in the condition of such an iconic course.

Anderson, Russell

Tee boxes and greens were in bad condition.

Moore, Greenville

A really nice course, but the group felt the condition of course has slipped a little over the past few years. We will probably forego playing it next trip.

John, Lively

Course very was dried out and not in good condition.

Dave, Spring City

Beautiful course, but very difficult. Need to pick my game up before I come back here again heh

Curtis, Annapolis

Great Sitting on the deck watching everyone finishing up on the 18th hole smoking a cigar and cocktails great way to end the day

John, Wading River

Met expectations and would play again

Michael, East Dundee

Wasn’t in great shape

Robert, Flushing

Cart path only, could have been 90 degrees

Stephen, Tiffin

Best course of the trip , layout was awesome very challenging!!! Will be back

Monte, Greensboro

Great forgiving track in the middle of our itinerary.

Havlusch , Belvidere

Great Shape. Fairways were soft due to some rain and some bunkers and sand traps had more standing water that was surprising. Greens were in excellent shape. Love this course.

Tom, Spring city

Great course! Tee to green great shape. A little surprised how much water was in some of the traps and waste bunkers. Greens were rolling great!

Tom, Spring city

Loved it. Too much noise from cart computer.

Chris, Greensboro

Great Golf Coarse but pace of play was horrendous....our foursome felt pushed all Day and we waited on every hole.... 5 1/2 hours and we teed off 20 minutes behind .....we actually missed our Tee time at another coarse for the afternoon...plus we were exhausted from all the waiting. not a big fan of starting on 1 and 10....I get it and understand but, we were last group to go of #1 and 2 groups that started on number 10 that morning had to wait on group in front of us and our group to tee off....it appeared to me that a group in front of us had 3 holes open in front of them ...

Michael, Wetumtka

Wish I could’ve started on 1 instead of 10

Raymond, Rocky Point

True Blue is one of my favorites but this year’s experience was terrible. It took us 6 hours to finish the round due to doublebooking tee times. I spoke with a few different employees and they are well aware of the issue but don’t seem like anything is being resolved. Course itself was great but I wouldn’t go back because of how terrible they managed tee times

Jacob, Clyde

True Blue at one point was my favorite course in the area but overbooking and pace of play has ruined it. The course itself was in good shape but it took our group six hours to complete the round while keeping pace with the group ahead of us. When we made the turn there were four groups waiting to start their round. Management needs to do a better job of scheduling tee times to clean up pace of play. It was apparent that this issue is well known but nothing is done about it. We have played this course many times but won’t be back until this problem is resolved.

Andrew, Fort Mill

Loved the layout. Loved the condition. Hated the pace of play! Would be in top courses if not for 5.5 hour round.

Chris, Anderson

Mike Strantz design, very good layout, nice views, good condition, friendly staff. Must play, replay available with sister course caledonia a plus. Good practice facility. Great pro shop.

Eric, Womelsdorf

Good layout. Good conditions. Friendly staff. Great holes.

Eric, Womelsdorf

Excellent golf course

Jeremy, Nottingham

Good service better conditions

Glynn, Northville

great design, good condition.

Eric, Womelsdorf

Beautiful place but it was cart path only very slow pace of play maybe they overbooked

Donworth, White Plains

Wish there was GPS in the carts

Missory, Hermitage

wow what a cool course and overall great experience

Michael, Elyria

Conditions were disappointing, highly excited to play it and tee blocks were rough. Neat overall

Jordan , Port Hope

Jumped to the top of my favorites. Great golf course with outstanding staff. Visually appealing, generous fairways with great green complexes. Its just a fun course that offers challenges but doesn’t beat you up. Too pricey to play as often as I’d like but I’ll definitely be back.

FRANK

Great course, great staff, very challenging but had a great time.

Jim, St.Clair

Awesome course! Staff was great. We will absolutely be playing Tru Blue again!

Huber, North tonawanda

Great course and conditions. Split tee start strategy employed and pace of play issues.

Imberman, Port Washington

Beautiful course. Very difficult but people are friendly and nice

Scheidel, Bristol

Great course, With precision shots required.

Guy, Elizabethtown

A real test of golf. Loved it.

Dennis, Plymouth

Not even tiger could have gotten close to some of those pin placements, greenskeeper must have had a rough morning with the Mrs.

Brian, Stratford

very hard course fairways a bit thin greens very fast a lot of sand

Charles, Harleysville

was the #1 course selected by group

Denny, Sioux Falls

Due to the conditions, prior rains, it was not at its usual shape.

Lara, West Columbia

Good course- Greens were in good shape

Mike , Manassas

New course for me but now one of faves

George , Hopewell Junction

Great course great day

James, White Plains

This course was the week’s highlight. Excellent condition but it shines most in its design. My second Michael Stranz course (Tobacco Road) and I’m a big fan. Lots of risk/ reward decisions. SO much fun. Wish we had time to sit on the clubhouse deck, but we had a plane to catch.

John, Gilford

Not in as good a shape as previous years.

Bob, Easton

fun layout and great conditions

Jonathan , Cincinnati

course in good shape, fun layout, good organization at check in...slow play suggest ranger, liked gps...and not charging for range balls, liked donation par 3, starter friendly

Brian , Columbia

Lousy bunkers that weren't maintained.

David, GIBSONIA

challenging as expected. beautiful layout. in great shape

Rob , Lindenhurst

Love True Blue, but it’s beat up. Tees and fairways were shaggy.

David, Gibsonia

Waste areas were terrible. Deep footprints everywhere. Not well manicured

Doug, Mars

Nice staff, charger on cart not working. Not sure why course does not invest in better yardage markings. Discovered the Golf Distance GPS on Myrtle Beach Golf App is useless. Gators were impressive. Greens, T's, and fairways were in good shape.

Daniel, Holden

Great course. no complaints.

Albert, Strawberry Plains

Of the three, I likes True Blue the best - it looks intimidating but actually is very playable. I'd definitely play this one again when I come back to Pauleys Island.

Burt, Amherst

First time we've played this course. Half the guys loved it and half the guys don't want to play it again.

Jim, Scituate

Just about perfect as far as conditions and a notch above the others as far as presentation, facilities and course conditions. Perfect day at True Blue!

Nelson, Greencastle

Great layout. excellent condition. The golf staff was friendly and customer focused. First time played, and it was a definite keeper for a future trip.

Ernie, Scarborough

For a high end (expensive) course, it did not meet expectations- Cart broke down last year. Did not have GPS on one of our carts this year necause some were missing them.. Probably won't go back

David, Oakville

Very challenging. A lot of sand to contend with

Roger, Valpairaiso

great shape, great service in all areas

Bob, Williamsburg

Difficile pour femme.

Carol, Beaumont

Nicest course I have ever played. We will play this course ever time we come.

Charles, Hamilton

Mike Stranz is an artist! True Blue is both visually appealing and exciting to play.

James

Great course, but they booked too many golfers. At times we were 3 groups on a tee.

Guy, Elizabethtown

A True Blue Challange ! Loved the course but tough! Glad we played it

Samuel, Greensburg

Cool trac but employees at the course weren’t great kind of rude. Course was not in great shape.

Brett, Scottsdale

Greens were just punched. Club house was closed so no food options.

Brett, Charlotte

This course had a lot of traffic and the ProShop tried to split our group (2 threesomes into a foursome/twosome + their add-ons - while blaming GolfTrek for the booking). They recanted and the round went well)

Paul, Randolph

Really enjoy True Blue - it was one of our favorite courses

Richard, Burlington

My favorite course of the bunch, but was not in the shape I remember. Lots po annua on the fairways and the greens were just OK. Staff was friendly.

Ed, Ellicott City

Some spectacular par 3s and challenging approach shots. The target golf aspect of the course slows pace a little with first time players. You are continuously checking the gps screen to verify the distance to the next hazard. Great golf course nonetheless.

Marc, Georgetown

Fantastic golf course and would highly recommend

Matthew, St lazare

Great layout but course conditions were lacking.

David, Natick

Really excellent course. Wide fairways so grip it and rip it off the tee. Watch out for the alligator hazards near water.

Joseph, mahopac

Super conditions! Frost delay, but got us on the course as quick as possible! No cart restrictions except par 3's Unlocked computer on cart so handicap player could go everywhere.

William, Lexington

Best course in MB, great experience

Brian, Penticton

One our favorites and a must plat every trip.

Konrad , Ottawa

One of our favorites and must be on the list every trip.

Konrad , Ottawa

We got rained out and they gave us rain checks that are good for 5 years

Matthew, Falling Waters

Got rained out after a few hole’s. The few hole’s were great

Scott, Martinsburg

The course was awesome as usual. We had a back up before getting started but then things moved better. It seems as though the course is being overbooked.

Andrew, Cramerton

One of my favourite courses I’ve ever played. Deserved the same level of recognition & hype that Tobacco Road gets, if not more. Loved the Finn Scooters also.

James, Charlotte

great course except for the mosquitoes

John, Greensboro

In poor shape. Greens shaggy. Practice tee largely unusable. Fairways thin and spotty. Tees often in poor shape - especially par 3s. Drive a very long way to play these two great designs. Very sad to se show poorly maintained they are.

Jim, Greensboro

Just aerated. Would have played another course

Michael, Camp Hill

This isnt an shot at the course. Its a great track. One of my favorite down there. They had just punched the greens. Its really frustrating this wasnt shared with us before our trip. We would have changed courses.

Justin, Ashland

Amazing course & staff! Definitely recommend playing again

Vincent, Lanham

Course was in great shape. It we played a 5.5 hour round. Called the pro shop multiple times about pace of play but nothing was done. Course was in good shape, but pace of play and service were disappointing.

Chris, Hingham

A favorite of the group along with Caledonia. This course will also make next years list.

Robert, Bethel Park

Great course! Greens were perfect! Loved it!

Shane, BOILING SPRINGS

6 hour round and they did not care

James, Warren

Great experience all around.

Anthony, Killen

our new favorite course had to do a replay

Gordon, London

How this ever gets rated behind Caledonia I'll never know. Easily one of the finest tracks around. can't come up with anything bad to say. even the rest rooms were nice

Geoffrey , Elkton

Great course....very tough

marc, shrewsbury

Competes with Caledonia. Will be a staple next year.

Vladimir, Rochester

Excellent Course. Well maintained and very scenic.

Colin, Columbiana

Did not enjoy the waste bunkers lining the fairways.

David, MECHANICSBURG

Course was in great shape

Paul, Peoria

Great layout. GPS of carts helped pace of play. Second play will the more enjoyable.

Daniel, Sugar Grove

First time playing. Loved the course and it’s condition. Not knowing the layout made some shots challenging. Will return for sure.

John, Lively

I would play this course every day. Nicest course we played and in great shape.

Martin, Sylvania

Nice course and staff.

Gilbert L, Fairborn

Top course. A must play. Everything about this place is done right. From the clubhouse to the greens to the staff!

Joe, Betkeley Heights

The course is in great shape even with all the rain. Thanks for stopping the rain so we could get our round in. 👍

Richard, Taylor

Always fun to play that course… but like each and every time i play true blue, greens where so slow… it’s really a shame… last time to true blue for me

Hugues, LaPrairie

Green are good but realy not fast

Francois, St-phîlippe

Great course, very dramatic and a fun challenge.

Matthew, Chagrin Falls

If cart path only, it’s a long walk especially for seniors

Mark, Greensboro

Love being out there

Terence, Baltimore

Top shelf Whole group was impressed

Joe, Spotswood

Again, bag drop was very jammed up and pushed us back 45 minutes. Fortunately we were able to get our full round in. They allowed the first group out of the day to play a 3 hour 9 hole round

Ben, Baltimore

Great condition, started out slow but picked up nicely.

James, Charlotte

Outstanding condition Great service

DOUGLAS, LEVITTOWN

Incredible strantz layout and facility

John, Chicago

Fantastic! Glad we added it

Rick, Little Rock

really hard to get on greens.

Andrew, Villa Hills

Will never go there again 5 1/2 hour’s to play second time it has happy

charles, burbank

Nice course, needs better management on the course in my opinion

Stephen , Glendale

Greens were very good and course was great.

Patrick, New Bern

Course was great. We were trying to get some lunch between rounds. They gave us 15 minutes to get back out after we had ordered our food or said we couldn’t get our. Thought course would have been full. It was empty. Stil. Can’t figure that out.

Steve, New Bern

Great fun and only charged $40 for a replay.

Alan, New Bern

Great condition Great service.

David, Palatka

Love the layout of the course. Fun to play.

roger, Lenexa

good course but difficult

PAUL, Sarasota

Too many blind shots

William, Dallas

Only I can say is wow, it is the # 1 golf course in South Carolina. Really awesome and fun course.

Greg (I love the gray team), Royal Palm Beach

Great service and a great course. Would definitely go back and play this again. Again a few fairway spots were not as grown in as I would have expected in May but less than Pawley’s and not a major issue.

Joseph, Sunset Beach

Outstanding golf course, staff was wonderful to our group. I did slip and fall on hole number 2 when I stepped on one of those wooden ramps to retrieve my golf ball. In the early damp conditions, those boards are slippery ... maybe some signage warning golfers might be helpful.

Michael, Lakeside Park

Tough course but I love it.

Barry, Dover

One of my favorite courses but I was disappointed in the overall condition of the course. I’ve played this course a half dozen times and it was always in pristine condition. This was the first time where the tee boxes and many parts of the course near cart paths, surrounding fairways, etc that were not in good shape

Joe, Atlantic Beach

Great course. Long and the perfect match to Caledonia.

Bob, Voorhees

Not as good as Caledonia. Some greens were a bit messed up.

David, Belford

Loved the course - the staff was exceptionally friendly and the course was great!

Mattheew, Needham

Great course! Greens could have been better, but the course was in great shape and the staff was very friendly.

James, Emerald Isle

W Hat a great place, 4 finishing holes are a challenge. Great clubhouse

Tom, Manalapan

Conditions weren’t as good as the others or as good as expected.

Emery, Springfield

most scenic course and very nice layout

Jerry, Tinley park

A close second to Caledonia, the greens were on the slow side and 17 looked like a checker board with the poana. Ride the scooters they are awesome.

Parviz, Fairborn

This course didn’t disappoint. It’s in super condition. Wide landing areas off the tee boxes would make this course enjoyable for anyone. But if you a little off on your second shot. Be ready for your some deep green side bunkers.

Wyn, Fargo

Very disappointed. Some nice holes but lacked character and maintenance

Daniel, Tewksbury
