Cedar Rock

Overall course was in great shape. Played blue tees. Beautiful scenery and views. Course laid out to suit golfers of all abilities. Greens rolled faster than most i have played recently which was nice. A few bad spots here and there in fairways but did not take away from my experience there at all today. All staff probably one of nicest overall I have had the pleasure of meeting. Super friendly.

Cedar Rock

I was extremely pleased with my round at Cedar Rock. My son had checked the website before we played, and said that the course was rated #3 course in NC in 1970. I can see how that was true.The course is difficult, with all terrains imaginable throughout. The greens are huge, with perfect grass and quite fast. Water comes into play. Traps are well maintained. My son and I were a twosome, with him playing the blue tees (6600) yards, and me the green (5600). We were both challenged, shooting mid-80's. Not bad for 1st time around the tract.

Still Got It

They have fast bent grass greens in great shape, good fairways and tee boxes. This course is in great shape with a good layout, beautiful views, and just a really good course in really good shape. Requires well struck shots to shoot a good round. Good mix of easy and hard holes and just a joy to play. I recommend this course 100 percent.

Be on your toes

Cedar Rock is in excellent shape and not overpriced like many mountain courses in summer. What it does have in common with the others is tricky greens and fairways that require a fair bit of precision. No. 5 and 12 will get your attention. All in all, I wish it were closer to my summer home.

Excellent layout with very good Greens

First time playing CRCC, nice layout with really good bent grass greens. Unfortunately the course was nearly under water from all of the recent rain. Will definitely play this one again when its drier, pace of play was slow, just as I had seen in other reviews.

Poor Management on Tee Times

One of the best nicest courses in this area. Only problem is every time I play here, we never tee off on time and they seem to have a problem “sneaking” to many people off without tee times. Took over 5 hours to play 18. Management needs to step it up.

Nice

Nice course. The day me and a buddy played it had rained the previous night and most of the morning so the course was wet. But that didn’t effect our day. Once we started the sun came out and it was an enjoyable round. Great course for the price. Would play again!
