Lake at Carolina Trace Country Club

Having played the Creek course, I was anxious to try the Lake course as I'd heard it was even better. During the reasonably mundane although pleasant front nine, except for a couple of par 3's with water, I wondered what the fuss was all about. Well, I found out on the back nine. The holes on the lake were picturesque and the other holes were imaginative, hilly, and tough. Unless you hit it 240 plus off the tee, you probably don't want to play from the Blues (found this out the hard way). Course in great shape for mid-November. Pace of play was excellent except for a couple of members who decided they were entitled to play slow as mud while not waving anyone thru.

The course is great to play! The only thing that I found to be an issue is directions. The signs need to be brighter and more apparent. Its very confusing and frustrating as to where to go. I ended up on creek side on the 4 th hole when I should have been playing lake side. My score card was for lake but ended up golfing the creek.

Everything else about both courses is Fantastic !.

Maybe a map would help.

Everything was awesome. Just got stuck behind a slow group.

We were welcomed and directed to the practice areas. We played the front nine in one hour and 40 minutes and were enjoying the course layout . As we made the turn we were surprised to see five players on the 10th fairway. Since there were no players behind us , we assumed that we would be waived through . This did not happen . After 2 hours we called the golf shop and were told that the five players were most likely members and "they can be very difficult " .We expressed our displeasure to one of the five players who retreated back to our tee box in search of his golf towel. He seemed not to care about making us wait for every shot on every hole on the back nine , let alone acknowledging the inappropriateness of playing in a group of five . After the round , I stopped in to the Pro Shop to express my displeasure . I was informed that this group had not checked in.....This is no way to encourage outside play. What had started as a very enjoyable round ended with 2.5 hours of waiting for no real reason other than the rudeness of supposed members and the lack of response from the golf shop .

Beautiful scenery, well manicured, greens immaculate, bunkers strategically located, white fluffy soft sand, fairways perfect. I played the blues and found them challenging for a 70 year old 46/44.The Championship tees look very intimidating. Amazing course will definitely play it again and tackle the big boys tees eventually.

I played the course on a weekday a day after a rain. There were not many other golfers out.

The course is long enough and has enough tees so you can control the challenge level. However, not a lot of time wasted looking for golf balls if you miss the fairway.

The course is traditional in layout, but has some interesting holes too. Especially because of hills. It is a beautiful place. This is my second time here and I'll be back.

The Lake course is in great shape although a little rain would help. Played as a single mid-dayand didn't wait a second!

Very Good Course. They could cut the ruff a little lower so you can at least find your ball.

Course was in great shape and we had a great time.

Great everything. Layout is outstanding. Challenging but fair. Scenic pat 3s and different holes each time - no 2 holes are the same.

Enjoyable round of golf. Not as much water as I was anticipating. Rough was brutal so make sure to put your drives in the fairway. Feel like it’s a little over priced though. Hard to see me paying that again. But was a fun track

One of the prettiest courses we have ever played. Greens were extremely fast and rough thick. Very playable, but rewarding when you learned some its intricacies. Worth going back with a little knowledge gained from our first trip around.

Great golf course, everything top notch, felt like playing at a private course. Huge clubhouse, range balls included. Lake course is in all around great condition. Layout is awesome, every hole is different and challenging in its own right. Course is pretty much in front of you except #12 par four dogleg left, keep you tee shot as left as possible close to or over the bunker. Amazing set of par threes, good memory that I 2 putted all of them for par. Hope to play the other course someday.

Was a nice track, well maintained. Greens rolled true. Priced a little too high - they think highly of themselves. Pinehurst prices without the Pinehurst feel.

Manager was friendly and informative. Golf carts were very nice and range had free balls NICE.
