Creek at Carolina Trace Country Club

The course was great; We had problems finding some of the tee boxes what appeared to be a redesign of the course.

This course is not worth the hot deal price let alone full price. The two courses at this location have increased their rate dramatically and cut their maintenance . Bare spots in the fairways bald tee boxes, and rough cart paths are not what you would expect at this price. . probably now worth half of what they are charging.

Not crowded at all. Was able to play at our own pace. Greens were in nice shape and even though fairways had been aerated they were no issue. Friendly people in clubhouse. They could have a little more water available on the course in the summer, not just at the turn. A little pricy I thought, but I'll be back.

First time playing here and probably last. Used the Golfnow app to book. We drove almost an hour and a half to get there. It sure would have been nice to know ahead of time that the greens had recently been punched and sanded!!!! Greens were unplayable. Bunkers had not drained well from rain they must have had and were hard and not well serviced. The ground on many of the tee boxes were so hard they should have come with a hammer! $25 greens fee and free cart at best considering the condition. Also time to upgrade your golf carts to electric with GPS.

I’m sure the course would be great had they not sanded every green on the course and punched every fairway in the back 9. Maybe it’s better typically but this week we were just mad that there was no roll on the fairways and you would often be lying in a hole. Also, one hole near the green was so swampy you couldn’t find your ball 10 yards in front of the green.

I liked the course layout but the course is not in very good shape. We got a GolfNow hot deal at $115. It was not worth it. There was no beverage cart and the water stations were inoperable. Many of the tee boxes had no grass.

Foursome tried to jump ahead of us on the first tee. Greens were good. Tee to green below normal conditions. Front nine in much better shape than back. Tee to green, way below average, and some tee boxes were tattered & without grass. Not worthy of a $153 greens fee.

The golfpro at the shop, Jeff, was confrontational and off-putting.

The course was empty except for one two-some on the front nine. Otherwise I had the course to myself on a Sunday afternoon, so pace was good. As a single I got through the front in 1h15, and the back in 1h30

Conditions are good for this time of year, not much ground under repair, greens play really well, fairways are watered well, bunkers have very powdery workable sand.

Amenities are great before you tee off, and poor after youre out there. There was an ice+water machine on the front nine but no halfway house or loopback to the clubhouse. Pack a lunch, but also “no outside alcohol”. You're out there on your own.

Some holes are sporadically placed in the layout but there is new signage to help navigate.

I would have hoped for better amenities for $125 a round, but that was a firm price.

Great layout. Tee boxes were terrible and the fairways were very lumpy and bumpy. Greens were excellent. Great layout

Course was in decent condition but just not worth the money. Black tees were not out on the day we played meaning the longest tee option was ~6300 yards, pretty disappointing. Making the turn you do not return to the clubhouse and there is only a tiny bathroom with a broken vending machine. No water stations anywhere on the course. For $70 which was a hot deal, normally more expensive I was very disappointing. Many nicer courses in the area for less money.

If you don’t live within this community I would t waste your time here. It use to be a nice place to spend a little extra and play a really well maintained course outside of southern pines. I don’t know if new management took over or the Karen of the HOA finally work it out but if your and outsider you will know it. You will get the cold shoulder from the pro shop. You will be treated poorly. I use to really like the chance to play this course but I doubt I’ll ever play here again. GolfNow should just drop this course from the line up. They don’t want public golfers there anyways so might as well let them have it to them selfs.

Great course with fun layout. The Creek Course is a little tighter to me than the Lake Course, but both are fun to play.

There are 2 courses including lake course and creek course. I booked the creek but I was told it will be got lost if it's first time. The reception suggested to play lake course which is not too challenging for me. It's nice in the last 9 holes with lake view. The club house with nice lunch set provided there. I will definitely will try the. creek one next time.
