Crossings at Grove Park, The

Played by myself. Breezed through the course in a little over two hours on a Monday afternoon. A challenge from the back tees for this 8 handicapper.

The staff is not friendly. And the pace was really slow but no one controlled it.

The Crossings is a unique design. Not long but challenging. You'll use about every club in the bag.

I would have given one more star but this course is in need of some help. I have been to this course several times before and I have enjoyed it every time. This first round here this year and when we checked in the guy at the golf shop wanted to charge is more money. I told him I set the round up on golfnow and showed him my printed confirmation. It took five minutes to show him I'm right. Then on the course at home number nine we came across the golf pro giving instruction to someone and they took ten minutes to clear the tee box. While we waited for them to move on a single had caught up to us and he didn't even ask and teed off on the white tees. It's going to be awhile before I go back to this course. I really used to liked this course.

The greens were in amazing shape rolling smooth and fast. Unfortunately that's the only good thing I can say. Tee boxes and fairways were terrible, bunkers had pieces of plastic tarp sticking out all over, cart paths are destroyed. Paid $42 for a "deal" on golf now but it was both worth it. Pace of play was very slow and the only course ranger was hanging out in the clubhouse when we made the turn rather than out keeping up the pace.

Great day.....course in good shape considering the fairways haven't greened up yet. Greens were excellent.

The course was not very long although I did play from the white tees. The blues and black tees will make the course harder. What made the course tough was the greens. They rolled fine even after being punch probably 2 weeks ago, but they were very uneven. Many times my approach backed up off the green and I had a putt barely miss the hole and roll all the way off the green. The course was fun to play though.

Tee time was noon. Showed up at 11:40 but had to wait until 12:30 to tee off. At least 1-2 groups waiting on each tee box every hole with no ranger around. Took 3 hours for front 9! Left after 13th couldn't deal with it any longer. First and last time playing this course.

Course was in good shape, back 9was challenging . Ot had rained heavy the day before, but the course dried well

I've played The Crossings 3 times. Two times on Cart path only. You need to be able to keep your shots close to the cart path unless you enjoy the walk. Trouble is everyone is enjoying the walk and the rounds get a little stretched out. During normal weather (We sometimes see) this is one of the top courses around the Raleigh-Durham Area. The course lay-out is tougher than it looks. It is a pretty course with a good snack/lunch bar in the clubhouse. The staff is always friendly. You can find some very good bargains early in the spring in the pro shop. The only negative is the course needs a yardage book.
If you haven't golfed here you can find yourself in trouble quickly. There are quite a few bends in the fairway and if you shoot left when you should have shot right, good luck making par. If you have played the course once though, you will want to play it again. It is fun from any tee position.

We always enjoy playing The Crossings. The course is beutiful and always well maintained. Greens were challenging as usual, large with lots of slope, but not too fast because of recent weather. The only thing I would do differently is wait an extra day or two after rain. There were several parts of the fairways that were still pretty wet. All in all, a great day and a course I would highly recommend.

Very nice layout. I'm sure it is very nice during peak season. Bunkers could have been in better shape but overall great experience

This was my first time playing there. I found it pretty challenging, especially the 17th hole. I believe, though, that after a couple more rounds there, I should do better, never the less, we had a great time.

This course was a challenge if you can't hit it straight. No need for long ball hitters here! Could play better now that I know the course. Enjoyed the experience and would play here again. The 12th hole is beautiful.

Crossings is a good value -- especially in late autumn. Usual slow play of weekend hackers has given way to a less-than-crowded course with greens which still offer speed and slope.

ALL n ALL GOOD DAY GREENS FIRM & FAST COURSE WAS CROWED

Nice, solid course. Played by myself and got around in 2.5 hours. Course wasn't particularly difficult - definitely more target golf than many courses in the Triangle (big hitters will only be hitting driver on a small number of holes). One complaint is that there were many leaves on the fairway. I know this is fall golf, and some leaves are unavoidable - but I lost a ball on a fairway that went right into a pile of leaves and I couldn't find it! That shouldn't happen!

For a public course, this course was in great condition from tee to green. Greens were just a little bumpy from all the traffic, but rolled true. Hard to believe the course was so empty - it was such a beautiful day. As a result, pace of play was great. We caught up to a threesome at the 16th tee and they offered for us to play through, but with only 3 holes to play, we decided to just slow down and enjoy the walk.

Crossings has a great course layout, with two very different 9 hole sides. Well designed holes provides a good mix of challenging holes and birdie holes. I'll play it again.

I had heard this was a short course so my partner and I (12 Handicaps) played it from the back tees. There were a few 3-wood tee shots but the narrow tree lined fairways from the back required good shot pkacement. Greens were in good shape, course is very natural and scenic with numerous water features. Thanks for a good rate on an enjoyable golf challenge. I would definitely play this couse again just for another chance at the 170 yd peninsula par 3.
