Pine Valley Country Club sits on a coastal plain in Wilmington, North Carolina, where live oaks and longleaf pines frame the fairways. The course was built in the late 1960s and features a routing that alternates between open, wind-exposed stretches and tighter corridors through dense vegetation. Several holes play along the edges of freshwater ponds, requiring precise club selection on approach shots, while others are bordered by natural waste bunkers filled with pine straw and sand. The greens are TifEagle bermudagrass and are maintained at a moderate speed that favors accurate lag putting. A central drainage canal runs through the property, influencing the design of at least four holes and requiring carries over water on the inward nine. The layout includes a mix of doglegs in both directions, with several fairway bunkers positioned to catch drives that miss the preferred side of the landing area. The practice facility includes a full-length driving range and short-game area with similar turf conditions to the course.
