Lake at Carolina Trace Country Club

This course had a wonderful layout and excellent course conditions which made for a great day of golf. Easily one of the premier courses in the area!

Very nice course. I’ve lived in Sanford for about 8 years but never played here. I was not disappointed. Will definitely be playing here more often.

Except for 3 notable holes, pretty unremarkable design. Tee boxes were horrible, fairways were sparse, greens were spongy and slow, sand had grass in it and rough was very inconsistent. Save you $100+ and find somewhere else to play. Very little RTJ feel to the design. Very disappointing.

We played The Lakes on a wonderful low 80s afternoon..there had been a fair amount of rain in proceeding days, so a few spots were slightly wet and greens a little slow, but we enjoyed the round. If I were to change anything here, I'd put in some hybrid Bermuda greens to speed the up & reduce the grain(which you could easily read by looking at the rough vs smooth side of each flagstick cup). Otherwise a great layout...I parred all 4 par threes, which have a lot of trouble lurking, so I left a happy camper.

Really fun course. Lots of doglegs and elevation changes. Have to use your whole bag. Looking forward to my next round there.

First time playing here. Greens were about 2 weeks out being punched so that was the biggest challenge. Layout was awesome and we played in 3 hours, although it was hot that day. Definitely going to go back when greens are 100%. This is a course you need to see first before you can challenge some holes.

The course was great and the staff was very nice and helpful. Only reason that I gave 4 stars instead of 5, for course conditions, was due to the course had been plugged a few days prior. There were no dirt clumps everywhere but holes were still present. The price was significantly discounted due to this so no complaints and it still played great!

Very well maintained and pace of play was great. Beautiful scenery

The staff was awesome, coarse was in excellent condition, spectacular views. Overall awesome

No food options at course on a Friday???? Bring your sandwich, I guess. Nobody on course offering anything either. Good course in the middle of nowhere that looks like they have budgeted no money for necessary amenities.

I realize there is a lot of dormancy in the area still in early April but this place was horrifically maintained. Clubhouse was nice and staff was nice. Lunch was decent although service was a tad slow but the Carolinas are more laid back obviosonrhats fine. Myself and my group chose to play on the way to Pinehurst. Big mistake. There was a. Made of grass in any tee box. It looked like a barren West Texas desert track. Super disappointing as the layout is actually good! Never again.
