As good as it can be

Overall layout is an issue due to presumably limited space at its construction, there are several "non-golf" holes that cause severe traffic jams and slows down pace of play, a few blind shots, etc. Greens are small and firm, but well maintained and roll true. Course is in phenomenal shape throughout, very nice little course, maintenance crew does an outstanding job. The rangers are friendly and very helpful. The ladies in the grill are great, food is solid as well. It's not anything special, but they have it as good as it can be.

Left wanting more

Course has a lot of potential to be great especially for the price. Well maintained/clean. Biggest issues were due to overcrowding. I don’t know if the course was overbooked or people were the ones holding up play but the pace was so slow we only stayed for 9 of the 18 we paid for.

Even after the slow front 9 there were more than 6 carts waiting to tee off at 10. Could not wait that long. Disappointed to have paid and not had the time to play.

The course is okay

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The course is challenging and being never played there before it would’ve been nice to have staff explain a couple of holes. Like one hole completely blind not knowing where to hit and being cart path hole. GPS would’ve been nice and carts were loud because they are gas. Probably won’t play again because we were visiting the area.

NC golf vacation

The layout of the course is the biggest negative especially if you have never golfed there before. A lot of fairways back and forth. This meant there were many times when someone from a different fairway hitting balls on the fairway you were on. A few holes on the back 9 had blind greens and were CPO (no GPS) making it hard to tell which way to hit the ball from the tee.

The msn that checked us in was super friendly. Pace of play was great too.

Great place to play and reasonably priced. I have played there for 40 years off and on. The course has been worked on over the years but is in good.
