Lake at Carolina Trace Country Club

The course is fun, beautiful, and in great condition. However, I believe it is overpriced. A few things needed for this price include actual hole yardage labels and markers throughout the course. Some of the hole markers at the tee box were missing and none of them featured the hole layout/yardage. The carts also need upgrading for the price. I have played several courses at similar or even cheaper price points that have features (as these carts have no special features except USB chargers). I will play here again, but sparingly as the hour drive with the cost associated ($65 hot deal) is a little steep.

Lake course was poorly marked throughout course especially on front nine……made it very difficult to pull the right club for iron shots…..score card and tee box provide no visuals as to where the trouble is……golf cart has no GPS

Best part was course wide open, very quiet and peaceful environment…..nowhere to get food or water, no cart person

theres alot of construction going on. the lake was really really low. i love how noone bothers you out there. nice and peacful. both courses are fun. the greens are in excellent shape for march!

Typical Robert Trent Jones course. Wide open and built for the tourist trade. The North Carolina soil is mainly clay which makes it hard during winter. Scottsdale is the best place for winter golf IMO as the overseed takes really well there. If you do play in North Carolina look for Bent grass greens. The mini verde is well suited for the N Carolina summer but is susceptible to freezes.

I hope I get to play this course in late spring.. Good clubhouse, bar and cartpaths. Note the signage from 16th Hole to 17 is not clear. Follow the yellow arrows. Cross the street and go a little left to pick up the cartpath again.

We were really excited to play this course given that it is a semi private course is located on a lake and had good ratings on the site. The good was a friendliness of the staff. The bad: 1. Incredibly difficult course- very hilly, sand traps everywhere, streams in water on almost every hole, Large amount of rough everywhere, and very narrow fairways. Par threes routinely 170 to 190 yards. Not for almost all every day golfers. 2. The greens, while they were in good condition, were truly tiny. 3. They charged $130 per person to play here. No other private clubs in this region charge anywhere close to that amount. Buyer beware next time based on an alternative view.

Everything about this was great. Awesome experience, great course would recommend to everyone

Great track, challenging, scenic, fair, and the greens were fabulous. The Lakes is the better of the 2 courses but both are very nice. Less than an hour from Raleigh too, I'll be back soon.

Thanks
