Great layout and course overall

Enjoyed the course, as always and was glad to have gotten a great rate using the GolfNow HotDeals....can't wait until they complete the renovations on the other course, as I expect that will be even nicer! Thank you.

The greens need work.....

All in all a positive experience and at a discount rate I would make the hr drive and play again. If I was paying the house rate........I would stay at home.

The overall course was very enjoyable. A number of solid golf holes and most laid out in a manner that you could see what the hole involved.

There were a couple of tee boxes that I were odd...... one slid well off the the left leaving you close to nowhere but right to play to. A second on a par three was set up to the far left with a extreme left pin placement that you almost almost could not see behind a stand of trees. Not everyone can turn a nine iron right ot left....reflected in ALL of the divots on the tee box pushed to the right hand tee marker.

The big issue...... the greens...... Bent greens in the summer in North Carolina Sandhills or Piedmont are a greenskeepers bain. These were no exception. In many places it was almost down to mud. The good news ...with all the watering they get they were VERY receptive. Now if we could just get more people to repair ball marks!. The rest of the course was in pretty decent shape....... not perfect but good. The greens just subtracted from the experience . The Lake course was closed for major repair.... I left wondering if they were going to switch it over to dwarf Bermuda which I would be in favor of. The creek course would benefit from a similar upgrade. The sort of change could require some tree work to open things up for Bermuda growth.

Two other elements ......don't even think about walking......several green to tee transitions take a while even by cart. Stock up on snacks.....the routing does not return you to the clubhouse at the turn.

Great course and vslue

Took my dad out for Father's Day. Course was in good condition, no hesitation to play here again. Challenging layout with tight fairways and smaller protected greens. Very challenging and a great value. Look forward to playing here again soon.

Well maintained course!

I played the lakes about 2 years ago and enjoyed the challenge. The Creek was a great layout with well guarded greens that were tight and had challenging pin placements. I would certainly play either of the 36 holes again!

Excellent condition and very well kept. Lake course is challenging if playing the proper tees

Would recommend to everyone! First time players should play one tee up. Par 3's are best in Sandhills.
