Seven Lakes – Lakes and Golf

Two distinct leisure interests are central to a stay in Seven Lakes: the lakes and golf. At the lakes, specific swimming, boating, and picnic facilities matter; the golf club can be described by its course features and woodland setting. These differences provide a practical basis for planning your trip around your preferred focus.

Lakes and Water Activities

The community’s seven main lakes are called Sequoia, Echo, Big Juniper, Little Juniper, Longleaf, Timber, and Ramapo. The Seven Lakes Landowners Association community includes seven recreational lakes suitable for boating and swimming. Individual lakes have their own facilities, so the specific shoreline area matters when planning.

A community description from August 2019 lists a swimming area with a swimming platform and boat ramp at Lake Sequoia, and a swimming beach and two picnic shelters at Lake Longleaf. An amenities document from August 2019 lists a swimming beach, swimming platform, and ladder at Big Juniper. Check the current availability of facilities at Big Juniper before your trip.

The facilities at Lake Sequoia and Lake Longleaf are within a residential community with gated access. Access through the community’s entrance gates is restricted. Therefore, confirm access before making a visit to these shorelines part of your plans. This helps align your swimming and picnic plans with the actual access options on site.

A rules description from 2019 states that non-motorized boats such as canoes and kayaks are permitted on the lakes of Seven Lakes North. Check the current lake rules before launching a boat. Lake Auman, covering 820 acres, is in the Seven Lakes West community and provides another named point of reference when navigating the lakes.

Golf and Landscape

Seven Lakes Golf Club has bentgrass greens. Its course features significant elevation changes and undulating greens, as well as scenic woods with mature longleaf pines. Thus, the course’s specific features include not only its greens but also its terrain and woodland setting. The club is about 10 miles from Pinehurst #2.

Historical Background

The community’s early development is also linked to its lakes. The earliest homes were built on the north side, mainly as weekend and summer retreats beside seven spring-fed lakes. This background adds a historical perspective to today’s recreational opportunities: the lakes were a focal point for seasonal stays during the early residential development of the north side.

For water activities, the specific lake, its facilities, and restricted access are relevant; for golf, the terrain, greens, woods, and approximate distance to Pinehurst #2 provide useful context. This helps you match your search to the leisure activities you have planned.
