The Challenge Golf Club

The course is well laid out and has a lot of elevation changes. Nice variety of holes, both in layout and length. It is a strategic design and you will have to "golf your ball" to get around the course. It is not a grip and rip type course.

It's July and some of the greens are suffering, but that's to be expected in North Carolina at this time of the year.

Course was in good shape, except some greens. Rolled but some residual winter burn damage still healing. Staff is very nice.

Pace of play was slow. No rangers seen all day to manage slower groups, in this case one group in particular that slowed everybody and backed up the entire back nine.

have played here a couple of times, has 1 or 2 greens still recovering but overall great experience. Was paired with a extremely nice women and we enjoyed the round and each other's company

Second time playing this course in 3 months and conditions are much improved since May when the greens were really struggling after a hard winter. Putting surfaces are about 80% filled in and putts are rolling ok on most greens. Still one or two that have some bare spots. Really enjoy the layout and the challenge on this course. It has some unique holes which require good course management and some narrow fairways to up the difficulty level. Staff is friendly and with GolfNow deals it is a good value for the money. Drove from Durham to play and will definitely play here again.

This course is fun but challenging like it's name. Fairways are good and greens doing ok but getting some bare spots. Good BLT at the turn. For the price it's hard to beat!

Great course layout, makes you think your way around it. Course suffered significant winter kill, greens are recovering (80% grass), tee boxes still need a lot of work. Fairways in good condition but

dry, need water. Golfnow price of $25 is fair for the

conditions as of July 4, 2018.

A fun layout with a variety of holes. Some elevation changes is a nice change from a lot of local courses. Too much difference in yardage from white (5700 )to blue (6400) so play a mix. Several Front 9 greens still need some work but work is being done. Fairways and bunkers in good condition. Speed of greens was about 10 which was great.

Winter kill strikes again. Several greens were in bad shape. Remaining greens were fine. Extremely wet around damaged greens due to watering, made playing difficult.

I booked on golf advisor and the course did not note that the greens are a wreck! I drove 45 minutes to play the course and all but a few of the greens were totally dead, no grass and covered in the plugs they pulled out of the greens. Simply unplayable, no wonder the place was a almost empty. . Very unhappy with the fact they didn’t make a note of the terrible state of the greens.

The Challenge is always a fun course to play. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and professional, especially Andrew in the pro shop.

The value was terrific, $13.59 on Golf Now with a Hot Deal, plus my $10 certificate redemption.

Condition was spotty, due to a winterkill, which has affected several courses in the area. **NOTE: The Challenge should have pristine conditions, according to management, in one month. ** I look forward to playing there later this summer.

Several scenic holes provide excellent photography opportunities.

The Challenge is aptly named. You must be accurate with all shots, using most clubs in the bag.

Pace of play was 3 1/2 hours for 18 holes on a Thursday, going out by myself.

The clubhouse and pro shop are top notch, first class.

I would definitely recommend The Challenge at Hideaway Farm to everyone.

Thank you.

Went out to The Challenge on my only day off book it through GolfNow wasn't told the front nine was not open the greens were deplorable staff was rude and I only played 9 holes and paid for 18 it would take me two free rounds to go back and play that course again I wouldn't recommend it to a cow it wasn't enough grass on it

This is an interesting public course with a friendly staff and a nice clubhouse. About half of the greens were severely damaged by winter weather and need a lot of work. I played 18 with cart for $23 on a weekend. It’s a good value for the money and pace of play was very reasonable, probably beacause of all of the recent rain, people stayed away. However despite strong storms the whole week before, course was well drained and Cart rule at 90 degrees. I would play again, but might wait until those greens are fixed.

3rd time playing this course this year..the layout is great but that's all I can say nice about the course,,the greens are mostly dirt and so are the tee boxes.i thought it would get better as the weather improved,,boy was I wrong..they need to shut it down and REDO the whole course

Overall, I enjoyed the course. Many of the greens were horrible. No shower facilities at an otherwise decent club. lay got backed up pretty quickly; but I still enjoyed the course and would go back.

The brand greens are terrible.

Something is killing them real bad. Greens are so bad i feel bad for them.

Also the course is all mid and around the greens os horrible. I hope they can fix it.

Worst greens ive played in years

The greens were in poor condition, and many of the bunkers could use some repair. I'm not sure if it was because of a late spring frost, but you don't want to see greens in poor condition. The staff was very friendly.

my concerns are the greens they could’ve been in better condition ,

I like the layout just wish there was grass in the fairway and on the greens.Got behind 2 jerks the last 4holes.There was work being done on the course.I'll wait until it grows in before I go back.
