Little River Golf Course

Carthage sits in Moore County, the heart of North Carolina's Sandhills — one of the most concentrated pockets of serious golf in the American South. The sandy, well-drained soils that define this region are nearly identical in character to the great linksland of Scotland, which is precisely why the Sandhills has produced so many celebrated courses. Pinehurst is only a short drive away, and the entire corridor carries a golf culture that runs deeper here than almost anywhere else in the country.

Little River Golf Club is an 18-hole course operating in that storied context. The Sandhills terrain typically offers golfers open, rolling layouts where the ball runs freely, tree-lined corridors of longleaf pine frame the holes, and the firm, fast conditions reward ground-game thinking over pure aerial power.

For golfers who want to explore beyond the famous names of Pinehurst Village, the Moore County area offers a range of layouts at various price points, and courses like Little River represent the everyday fabric of a region that has built its identity entirely around the game.
