Dormie Club Conditions?

[CDM]

Played there Sunday morning to finish up our Pinehurst trip. What a way to go out. Course is in spectacular condition this time of year. It was my first time playing it and the wow factor was up there. Total immersive experience in an awesome natural setting.

 

Ooooo you guys are killing me.... 4 days to go !!! Been wanting to get out there and play since reading about it years ago.

Well, how did you like Dormie ?

[CDM]

The course is awesome. The conditions if anyone is wondering are perfect. A caddie in our group noted he has not seen the course in that good of condition in 3-4 years.

 

Though I will say 10 is a little stupid =) but heard they are blowing it up next year? Also did not like the cross hazard location on 17. Nothing like having it 100 yard out from the green which is 30 yards up hill to start with in the last 225 yards or so LOL Pretty but to me was bit limiting on options.

 

The course really fit my eye and I played it very well for first time (score wise..stayed in the 70's) but played the blue tees not the tips. I played with two great guys who both took caddies so helped a lot as I knew where to hit to based on them discussing it.

 

A couple of highlights for me: 1st one was one of caddies noted on hole 8 that he had not seen anyone birdie that hole in 2.5 years. I hit a perfect drive at the tall pine and it rolled down to the bottom right side of the fairway. Pin was all the way back (5 yards off the back edge) so was playing like 500 yards for a par 4. (wth...lol). Hit a perfect iron to middle right of the green that rolled out as expected to 10-15 feet and made the putt for a 3.

 

Hole 14 which you have to go for =) I hit driver up the hill at the tall pines on the left as everyone notes and did the "Hope it rolls down" and sure enough it did pin high (middle of the green) about 10' from the collars. *Sadly missed a 10' birdie put there though...

 

I would tell everyone play the course right if you get the chance..!

^Did you use their online booking system or ring them up?

I see online it says 'includes cart' but I am guessing you walked? I'm 1/2 tempted to pop over for July 4th weekend, as I see they have lots of availability.

I used the "online" system and had booked it months back. I was going to walk but got talking to the marshal he said RIDE... so I took the cart.

 

Glad I did...the other two in the group had booked caddies and walked it. Though they did jump on the cart a few times for a quick ride when needed and understandable. Think with the heat index it was pushing mid/upper 90's with the humidity... :crazy: *All of us sweated out about 5-6 lbs that day I am sure.

Will do! I really want to play Mid Pines and figured I should pop 'round Dormie Club while I'm there too.

If I sort something out in the next while, I'll drop you a PM.

Was planning on playing June 23, but called the shop and they’re aerating the greens June 18-19. The guy I spoke with said the greens are usually pretty decent 2-3 days after, but does anyone have experience playing there after the spring/summer aeration? Still worth playing?

I was planning to play on the 21st since I’ll be in town from AZ. Super bummed about the aeration. Thanks for the info!

Played Saturday, greens have punched for sure but they were playable and are starting to heal. I would guess by the 4th they would be back to normal, the rest of the of the course was fantastic.

If they used small tines for the punch, they may be ok ~4-5 days out. If they used large diameter, I'd say 2 weeks to be close to normal.

 

The course is pretty cool, but I'd trust the people that run it about as far as I can spit.

[SBH9458]

Any updates fellas? Headed to Dormie with my sons next weekend! Been a long time coming and we can’t wait....hoping the greens are healed up!

[artist08]

I’d like to know, as well, since i’ll Be there next weekend

[ceejay81]

Headed down in a couple of weeks. Anybody know if Dormie is still in great shape? Might end up playing a round there.

[SBH9458]

Beautiful course. Greens were still a little bumpy/bouncy from being punched but otherwise great track. We got rained out on Saturday.....incredible rain. Hope to get back there soon for the full 18!

[Danny Noonan1]

I played Dormie 7/28 and 7/29 and the course is in perfect shape. It has been wicked hot for the last month and the bent grass greens are rolling pure and are in perfect shape. I understand the pro’s and con’s of Bermuda vs Bent in the Carolina summer but there is nothing like rolling a putt on bent grass. No grain, just read it it and roll it...

I’ve heard the Dormie Network is going to be adding another course to the ever growing Dormie Network soon. Victoria National being the latest.. the window for joining will be closing soon.

 

[NCgolf135]

Gonna be so sad if Dormie really does go fully private.

[Danny Noonan1]

You can join before it goes private and get a significant deal. With the recent addition of Victoria National and Ballyhack in Roanoke, Virginia it was an easy decision for

me. I look forward to the opportunity to share the course with others passionate about the game. If you’ve played Dormie before you can imagine how an uncrowded perfectly conditioned Coore and Crenshaw in the heart of Pinehurst will turn out over the long term. Exclusivity creates demand, I am thankful the new owners have chosen to go this route.

What's the cost of joining? Just curious, probably couldn't swing it with my other membership already.

The greens were tine punched last week. They’ve top dressed them and they’re rolling well.

Has the club gone completely private and the only way to access it is through the dormie network? or can you still call to schedule tee times?

They are still open to the public currently. I am playing in May.

[HackZogan]

The club is not completely private just yet. I will be playing out there on Saturday.

Kind of a bummer to hear the greens were just punched. Playing there on Sunday. Would love to hear about conditions from anyone playing there this week.

Played this morning greens rolling very good. Showing little sign of the aeration. Definitely didn't effect putting.
