Lake at Carolina Trace Country Club

Played the Lake Course on Saturday, June 11th. Beautiful course! Tee boxes and fairways were excellent and there was plenty of fluffy white sand in the bunkers - trust me on that. Unfortunately, they forgot to mention that they had just punched their greens on Monday when we made our tee time!!!! We played for $35 which included range balls and a free beer if we filled out a questionnaire. Also, they added some new bunkers last year and SkyGolf/SkyCaddie doesn't know about them yet.

Nice course, great layout, sparse fairways but it is mid May, healthy but slow greens.

Very nice golf course. Some interesting holes with some degree of challenge but very enjoyable, will play this again.

Beautiful course in great condition. The numerous and large bunkers were immaculate with sugar white sand. The greens rolled as true as any I've played. The staff are super friendly. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Very challenging and a great value. Look forward to playing here again soon. New greens were tight but held approach shots, rolled good for this time of year, some tee boxes need some attention.

Even though it is winter, the sand traps and greens were in GREAT shape! The course was quite challenging regarding the placement of the bunkers and water. I enjoy being challenged!

Tee and fairway grass was long, which I understand for the winter months and the course went through a renovation in the previous summer. Greens, which were not renovated, were slow and not painted. Other Bermudagrass greens in the area are quick and painted. Great renovation of the bunkers. Course was basically weed free. Will be a great course this summer.

Fun and challenging course. The greens were too slow.

Creek course is a great traditional layout. Surprising amount of elevation change throughout the course. Tree lined fairways. Fairways were in excellent condition. Greens (bent) were a little inconsistent, spongy and getting thin. Par 5's on the short side, par 3's are challenging and some stout par 4's. Bet this course will be in great shape come Sept/Oct. The Lakes course is scheduled to reopen in early Sept.

Very tough but great course. Bermuda rough seemed to cost me a stroke any time I ended up in it. Greens were not quite as smooth as I would like.

Nice course but $40.00 hot deal come on!
it's okay but not a for the price ,

The Lakes course includes some of the most beautiful and intimidating golf shots you will find. Another terrific Sandhills value (we paid $35 for a Friday afternoon). Greens were fast and smooth, still just a bit hard. Fairways were plush. Challenge of the course will depend on the tees you choose. We played the blue tees and found it very true to the 129 slope rating.

I played the Lake Course and got a $12 hot deal tee time at 2pm. The course was in good condition, has a good layout with a variety of holes, and the greens rolled true and quick. Definitely worth ~$35-$45 that many other courses in the Pinehurst area would charge for that tee time, and a steal at $12. I played the tips, with a rating of 74.3, and it was fairly challenging, especially around the greens. The greens were not always receptive, which seems to be a common problem with bermuda green installs these days. There were some approach shots that barely broke the green's skin, and others that left a small ball mark, but nothing came close to stopping in it's tracks. They also need to install more water jugs. There was a fountain at the 7th, but in 92 degree heat, there should be water every 3-4 holes.

The course was in fantastic shape, and the greens were fantastic...they rolled very true and had a gloss on them they were so slick...I did not putt great, but it was no fault to the course..I can't wait to play again.

The members and staff were very friendly. Played the Lakes Course, Pro shop told me Golfnow shouldn't have let me book at tee time because of a tournament that morning, but they let us go out anyway... (My thanks to the staff). Course was in great condition, greens were very smooth and very very fast (although a little hard), tees boxes were in fine shape. Paid $16 to ride (Great Deal!) easy drive from Cary, NC, hope to play again soon.

The course is beautiful, lost a few balls (lol), great job to the greens crew, the course is very well taken care of. Would love to play this coure again! Put this course on your list to play!

Greens left alot to be desired, not even close to smooth. Weeds growing in the fairways and more than one dead spot tee to green. Staff was ok, but didn't add anything to the experience. Was ok overall but better courses for same money in the area.

Carolina Trace is a member owned private facility that has recently allowed outside play for golf groups. This was my group's 2nd time on the Creek course. Unfortunately we played the first 5 holes in a downpour which created a backup in play when two groups in front of us just paused for the rain. The course marshals quickly identified the groups and normal play was resumed. The members and staff were very friendly, usually not something you see from a private club. This course is TIGHT. Do not be deceived by the yardage on the card as it plays considerably longer. Since this is in a gated community with homes on the course there is a considerable amount of OB. Bent greens roll very true. Put this on your play list.
