Crossings at Grove Park, The

This is almost the perfect golf course for somebody serious about the game, but who because of age or stature is not a long hitter. The course plays relatively short but there is plenty of water, strategically placed bunkers, and elevation changes. Accuracy is key. Greens are large and several undulate and/or are bordered by berms. I began taking lessons again a couple weeks ago and so far have concentrated on pitching, chipping and putting, and this was the perfect course to try out my new skills. The small but welcomming Mallard Grill has good sandwiches and a variety of draft beers. It is a residential course, but the houses and yards aren't as obtrusive as with some, and the hills and water make for a picturesque setting on many of the holes. This course will be on our short list for when we want a break from our home course.

This is a fun course and challenging from the tips.. Dont let the 6500 yds fool you into thinking it will be a pushover. This is a really good track. If you want challenge play the tips but there are other tee box options to fit anyones level.

Great course to play and will give you a challenge on the back 9. Played on a wet day and the course was in good shape. A few of the greens needed some work, but overall the course is in good shape.

I really like the lay out. The greens are big and rolled well. Some nice holes. Staff was very welcoming.

I have never had a bad experience at this course. The staff is friendly. The course is well kept and the greens roll nicely. There are some challenging holes and if you are not in the fairway, you will lose your ball. Great Experience!!!

Way better than I was expecting a thinking mans golf course if you want a true test you should definitely try your skills out here not for the faint hearted accuracy required with Little forgiveness have to keep your head in the game really enjoyed this track make the trip

Course was challenging and in good shape with wonderful fall weather!

Walked the course on a Thursday with very few others on the course. Back 9 a good challenge for this very average golfer. Biggest beef is lack of yardage markers and card could be clearer about distances to hazards. A fabulous value with my internet discounted green fee.

I played the second sunny day after all the rain. Course still a bit damp and soft and the Greens very soft. Felt bad for the greens as the ball would stick very easy and deep. Not everyone fixing their mark.

Loved the course my first time playing there and first time in NC.
Would love to play again some day

It was a beautiful day for golf. The course was in average condition, with the greens being slow except for the occasional somewhat faster one.

Really enjoyed the course. Great value for the excellent shape it's in. Not a difficult course, but has holes that will leave you with some tricky approaches, so scoring isn't a given. Will be back!

My first time at the course and found it really mediocre. Fairways were in excellent shape and produced great lies but greens were extremely soft and chewed up. Too many unrepaired or improperly repaired marks and weeds. Tractor mishap ruined the 3rd green but keeper forewarned of that.

My biggest complaint was poorly marked or nonexistent yardage markers at the tees and fairways. Combined with numerous hidden or long fairways, it made club selection off the tee very difficult for a course newbie. Very frustrating.

Plays a nice 6500+ .. Fairways were in decent shape and tee boxes were fair - greens could have been better . It pretty much looked like s tournament was played and not 1 person replaced their divots . Some
Challenging holes but a better course for the bogey to more newer golfer
Staff was friendly . Pace of play was average . Price is a little high compared to the other courses in the area , especially when you can drive 2 minutes down the road and play a better maintenced corse for cheaper price

This is a beautiful course cut through rolling hills. Every hole is unique and the course is very well maintained for a public course. Greens are soft and roll about an 8 on the stimp. Good for higher handicap players. Greens are small and require some accuracy. Only weakness is the houses around the course. Just ignore those and you will have an awesome time. Liked the variety of par 3's one pretty long one at 205 and one short over water to an island type green. You can be very aggressive and cut corners if you hit a long ball. I cut the corner on a 400 yard par 4 and hit the green. Turns it into a 280 carry I would guess.

Course was in good shape...some of the bunkers are considered ground under repair because of a lack of sand and upkeep. The greens very very soft, being that soft there seemed to be quite a bit of ball marks. They need to be careful because with the greens being so wet to cool them algae was forming. Fairways weren't horrible, decent shape. Overall good condition and fun times were had.

Paid $20.00 to play. Took us 3 hours 15 mins to finish. The layout is fun and somewhat challenging. Bunkers need lots of attention but tee boxes, greens, fairways and most rough was in great shape. There was a ranger out keeping things moving which was nice. On 18 we caught up to a single who was playing about 9 balls. Some greens had lots of unfixed ball marks which made us wonder how often this happens. Overall great time and will go back.

I played here on Sunday and the course was in great shape. However, I was really disappointed that no one had taken the time to rake the bunkers. Durham received significant rain the Thursday before my round so I expected the sand in the bunkers to be a little compact but, this is why you rake them. That's unacceptable for a weekend round. This is also why I did not give them 5 stars. Staff is very Friendly.

Course was in pretty good shape. Greens rolled good. Offers a lot of different shots. Not just a grip it and rip it course.

This course is really a hidden jewel. Although it's close to home, nobody I know plays it. The course is in excellent condition and the holes are scenic and interesting--especially the par-5 ninth hole where water must be crossed twice.

A great value for the cost. We played quickly and had a great time as the course was very fair. There are some blind shots and printing the course guide before playing would have surely helped.
