The Revival Golf Club at the Crescent

Overall a beautiful layout and fun course to play. There are a couple holes where there are dirt spots in the fairways which just treat as ground under repair. Clearly are removing trees and doing their best to open it up. Overall tee boxes were in good condition. Greens were nice had a good role to them. Would definitely play again. But once the grounds under repair are fixed it's going to be an outstanding course

Have played golf for 40 years and watched a group turn around and play back up the next hole to pass a group. 9:20am group 7/18 should not be golfing when it is busy. Zero awareness. Just let people play thru. Unfortunately it ruined what was a nice course with great greens. Looks like the course is recovering from some damage, but it is not bad. I’d play again but they need a ranger.

Greens were great. Fairways and tees ok

I’d play again

I played The Revival at the Crescent for the first time today. I usually play at MOORESVILLE Golf Course and the Warrior in China Grove, NC. Both those courses are a little harder to play, but for the money, you can’t beat The Revival! I found the Revival to be in excellent shape. The greens were perfect and the pace of play was excellent. This course is tucked away in a nice community In Salisbury, NC. The course has a grass driving range, along with a nice putting a chipping green. The course is not difficult to play. I would rate it a 7 in difficulty at the most. It’s a fun course to play without a lot of hazards. The best part was the price. I’m a senior. Riding 18 holes was $30! A bucket of range balls (100 balls) was only $10. The staff are some of the friendliest people I have ever met. If you are looking to score low and get a great value for your money. Look no other than the Revival Golf Course In Salisbury, NC. You won’t be disappointed!

Clubhouse and grounds staff are always excellent. Newer carts are in good shape as well. Tee to green, the course is in excellent condition. Tees and fairways have plenty of grass on them, and give nice lies. Bunkers are kept up well and have good amounts of sand in them. The bent grass greens are showing considerable signs of stress from the summer heat. There were a few on the front nine, along with #16 that have significant issues. They were syringing greens during my round, doing their best to keep them alive, so the desire is there, but it's just so hard to keep bent alive in this climate. I would give the greens a chance to recover before playing here again.

Played Revival for the third time this year. The staff is great, and the club has recently updated their cart fleet. The course conditions from tee to the green were by and large great. Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. The rough is lush, but fair. You can play out of it, but it will test you. Most of the greens are fine, but there are some that are experiencing issues. The 5th hole had a temp green, as the regular one had been completely resodded. The recently reclaimed front of the 3rd green is showing signs of stress again, unfortunately. A couple of others also showed signs of stress from the summer heat.

If you haven't played here recently, they have converted #4 to a par 5, and #6 to a par 4, flipping the par on those two holes.

Played this course several years ago when it was in need of major repair. What a difference it is now. Greens are in great shape, fairways are kept mowed. Several areas are still being worked on and will be part of the course soon. Course is kept clean. short rough is maintained. Sticks are kept picked up. Was a great experience.

Wanted to give an update on Crescent, as it's been over a year since the last review was posted. The club has new ownership and a new name in 2017. It is officially called The Revival At The Crescent. The new ownership has put a lot of resources into bringing the course back from the edge of death. I found all but one tee box in great shape. They were as lush as any I've seen this summer. The fairways as well, save the 6th, have finally recovered from the winter kill of '15. The weather has allowed the bermuda to thrive. The greens have never really been an issue at Crescent, other than the 3rd, and that is still the case. The greens were spongy underfoot and rolled fairly true. There were a few unrepaired ball marks, but nothing too bad. The club has done a lot of work on all green side bunkers. They have redone the drainage in the bunkers and added new sand to them. They play as bunkers should now as opposed to the rock hard dirt that they were before. It appears as if they are letting several fairway bunkers that don't really come into play transition into grass bunkers. There are new gas carts with usb charging ports. Additionally, there were coolers of cold water at several spots around the course, a welcome addition on a hot day. Sprinklers had distances on them and their was new signage everywhere.

The club does still has work to do. The front half of the 3rd green has been transitioned back into fairway, leaving a really small target. There is also a decent size portion that is under repair. It sits so far back in a wooded area, that I don't see any way they can get air circulation back there other than bringing in fans. The 5th tee, 5th green and 6th fairway also need work. They sit down in a low area and don't get much airflow, either. The tee had more grass on it than in years past, but still had some bare spots. The green had a few bare spots that need to fill in. The 6th fairway also has thin/bare spots throughout the landing area and isn't nearly as lush as the other fairways on the course. (I probably shouldn't complain, as I managed to eagle the hole!) The club never had complete cart paths, and while it wasn't a problem 15 years ago, the lack of maintenance of the dirt cart paths over the years has made them almost impassible. Driving on the grass is much easier. The edges of bunkers need to be worked on as well. Areas of the course that aren't directly in the line of play, but could see an errant shot are the last piece of the course to come back.

All in all, the club has made great strides to make the course playable again. Continued efforts in that same vein will bring it close to the condition it was in during the mid-'00s. Weekday rates range from $34-$22, and the course is well worth that at this point.

Nice course. A bit rough but improments are being made.

We use a golf buddy. When u roll up on 9 the GB will say it's hole 18. Go with this yardage. An viceversa when u come up on 18 and the GF says is hole 9. We thought 9 may use to have been 18 and vice versa. But the employee said that it had not. Not sure why it's like that.

But we liked the course ok an would return again.

Course overall in good shape first time playing for me and two others . Had some blind shots and had we played it before would have helped our scores although putting was our biggest trial . Front nine was not as good a shape as back nine .

The rough is deep Bermuda that makes it difficult to find wayward balls even when you think you see where it went. But you can usually find it. Point is to keep your eye on where it goes or you will need luck on your side finding it. Course is laid out pretty well and the area is relaxing. A couple holes need work (fairway grass missing and greens with bare areas).

This was my first time playing the course, and I didn't happen to have my golf clubs with me. I needed left handed golf clubs and the pro shop was currently out of left handed sets. So the man running the front desk went above and beyond for me, he called up someone who lived on the golf course and found a way to get me a set of clubs. He went and picked them up personally and delivered them to me. My group still got to our tee time on time. We had an wonderful time. The course was filled with challenging holes within its unique layout. We had a wonderful time! Looking forward to going back!

Great course on its way back. Still have to deal with a couple of rough fairways, but I see improvement each time I return. I like this course.

Easily the most fun layout I have come across down in NC. Staff in the shop were extremely nice. Greens were a touch slow, but true to the putt. Fairways as stated by a few others could use some more time, but you can tell they are trying to get them in and you can tell it is starting to come around. I got a great deal to play there and I can't wait to go back. A really fun layout and great people.

Fairways are looking great, some areas are still bare from previous year winter kill but are starting to come back...with more watering they would fill in, tee boxes need a lot of water, they are hard to get tees in the ground, greens roll smooth and are quick but have some bare and bad spots starting, inside staff are very friendly, just needing watering at night to soften up greens and tees and this could be the best course to play within 50 miles of Salisbury.....

the staff and the Pro are very commendable very nice it's a very good layout but the course is in very bad shape the tee boxes are very hard the fairways have a lot of bad places in them the greens are pretty good and the pace on the greens is good but the course needs a lot of work the bunkers the fairways the tee boxes all need a lot of work it's really not a very good course to play in the shape that it's in but everybody there or is very friendly and nice to be around

Cresent, is a hidden jewel. I love the layout. The treelined fairways remind of of old school golf. The staff is friendly and always courteous. This golf course demands every shot in the bag. My only regret is the condition of the fairway bunkers. Can't beat it for pace of play the greens roll true and you have to bring your A game.

The Greens are perfect and most of the fairways are in great shape. The tee boxes, areas around the Greens and the bunkers needs improvement, but overall the course is in good shape. We traveled 35 minutes to play this course and we had a great time. Will definitely play this course again.

Very poor conditions. Tee boxes were rock hard and mostly thick grass and or just dirt patches. Most fairways were either large areas of dirt or ground under repair. Even a few greens had bare spots and seemed like nobody has mowed or manicured in quite awhile. I feel bad for the people we were paired with that paid $36. Used to like this course but seems quality has gone down while price has gone up. Never again even at the $11 rate.

Big improvement over last 2 rounds. Tee boxes very bad shape the last time played. Very good shape now, also course very good shape, and greens.
