When golfing Carolina Colours’ Golf Club in New Bern, NC, no overview of the Carolina Colours Golf Course would be complete without mention of the exceptional golf practice range’s tees and fairways. We are unaware of any practice range in the central coastal region that compares with the Carolina Colours’ facilities. Nearly 400 yards long (and slightly uphill) and about 90 yards wide at the tee (and it widens from there), it would boggle the mind if anyone, of any ability, could drive the golf ball through the end of range, absent a hurricane wind from the rear. With two separate tee areas, so as to preserve the teeing grass, and with targets flagged for distance, the golfer should have no limit to the scope of his warm-up and practice sessions.

Adjacent to the golf practice range is a practice bunker, available for both explosive and long shots. Most of us need work on our sand games, and the opportunity to get that work presents itself at Carolina Colours.

Adjacent to the Pavilion (clubhouse) is a putting and chipping green. With two tiers, there is plenty of room for multiple players to practice at once. And finally, there is a small warm up green adjacent to the first tee. As you wait for the foursome ahead of you to tee off, you can get in that final couple of putts, preparing for that (hopefully) personal record round about to begin.
