Creek at Carolina Trace Country Club

the course was in bad shape --dry and hot.there was NO water on course for players and no cart personnel. and at the turn you didn't go pass the clubhouse.

Great course, I've played the course 6 times now and it's always a good time and challenging at times the layout of both courses are nice and usually beautiful but this time the senary was great dir to the draining of the lake. The pace wasn't great this time also some members were playing in front of my playing partner and myself and taking 10 mins or more longer on each hole and never let us through.....there was 5 of them! The guy in pro shop was not a nice as most before when I asked him about the lake he gave me some smart answer. I drive 1.5 hours to come play Here and ill be back

We will definitely play this course again. Great course!

Played the creek course. Course was in very poor condition. Mud on many tee boxes and in a lot of fairways. Rough not cut in places at all. Club house staff was arrogant and rude. Will not play at this course again.

Great day; virtually had course to ourselves. Friendly staff inside and out. Directional markings a little confusing for first timer, and did not return to clubhouse at the turn (with no on course beverage/food cart). But not a big deal, and overall a really good experience.

There are two layouts, The creek course, and the lakes course. I was assigned the creek course.

The condition of the golf course was inconsistent. The greens are above average , they roll true and have good pace although they can afford to be a bit faster. The tee boxes were disappointing. Almost every one was overgrown, some more so than others. The fairways were ok.

The layout is rolling parkland, with changes in elevation and a few doglegs. Landing areas are wide, however there are plenty of uneven lines to had on several holes. Fairways are lined with trees, and the namesake creek wanders through the courses, coming into play on several holes. There is some water to contend with, and the 18th is a really nice hole, a downhill dogleg right par four along the lakeshore. It’s a decent layout

There is no beverage cart on the course, which is fine, however the only hydration Available on the course is a vending machine. That only accepts exact change.

I do like the fact that the golf course has a grass range. I think I might’ve preferred to play at the lakes layout. I was alone on the Creek course, had the whole thing to myself, no one behind me and no one front at noon on a Friday..

When you pay over $100 to play golf, most folks expect certain things. This experience was not that. We played The Creek Course. The only thing that felt on par with the cost, was the gated license check in at the front of the community.

First of all, the course conditions were just ok. Greens are fine. Other than that, it was on par with a municipal course. Fairways were hit and miss in their availability of tight grass. More than half of the tee boxes were small and uneven, and a handful didn’t even have grass. There were very few directional signs. Not one tee area had a hole number sign or distances. No GPS on the outdated and barely running carts.

Now to the amenities, or lack there of. When we get there we are told that it is cart path only. Even though it had not rained for several days and it was 70 degrees. Then we find out that The Creek Course does not return to the clubhouse, and there is no beverage cart….. on a Saturday. They also offered no coolers or ice. So basically, grab a pack of crackers and your beverages will be warm by hole 8. Then there is the driving range …. It’s literally the size of a large backyard with 10 spots.

All of our players traveled over an hour, to spend $100 plus, to endure a $45 municipal experience. Tried it. Hated it. Won’t be back. Don’t waste your time and money.

Unfortunately the course was out of gas for their carts, and a long delay ensued as staff tried to gas them up. We got off 30 minutes after tee time along with everyone else who was waiting on carts. With no spacing of groups, pace was a mess...we played 9 holes and asked for a raincheck, and happily club obliged, so we'll go back a play it properly.

Played the Creek Course at Carolina Trace for the first time in about a year due to the high green fees. Found a $60 deal and enjoyed playing there again. It was still winter, so the weather wasn't perfect, and neither was the course, but not bad given the time of year. Look forward to going back if not priced out.

Shot Options- course has good shot options. 3- Downhill Par 5 w/ Plateau fairway.

Character- good setting and scenery

Condition- Greens were in great shape. Ball rolled very well and at a smooth pace. Fairway were a little soft due to recent rain, and tee boxes were in decent shape.

Layout Variety -

Stopped to play enroute to our annual fall golf trip. Absolutely a fantastic course. Greens are the best I have ever played. Augusta National quality. Entire course in fantastic shape and extremely well maintained. We arrived 2hrs early and pro-shop did what they could and got us off an hour early. This is a definite inclusion in our spring and fall trips to Myrtle. In fact we might stay for a for a days next trip just to play it a few times.

Beautiful day, temps at tee time 08:30 upper 60s. Staff was friendly as always. The practice range was in great shape. The course was in excellent condition, fairways were lush and the traps were in great shape. Deep sand gives the golfer a professional take on sand shots. The greens are Bermuda and played hard and fast. Rolls were true. All in all Carolina Trace would get Five Stars from this golfer.
