Enjoyed the Course

Very good place to play. Interesting layout, overall good condition with a great pace of play. 18 holes in less than 4 hours. Can’t play many courses where you can get around that fast. Greens were good. We really enjoy playing there. Nice restaurant on premises. For the price this is an awesome value. We will be back.

Hot Round of Golf

I enjoy most everything about this golf course and have played here on multiple occasions. However, there is NO water on the course, yet you are told you cannot bring a cooler. The temps were in the 90s and there was not a water cooler to be found.

Everything else about this golf course is fine, and I will continue to play here, BUT PLEASE have some refreshments on the course.

Unfriendly front desk and poor course conditions

Unfriendly front desk wouldn’t recommend to anyone if it cost $5 a round and fairways and greens are in bad condition

Best value in the Sandhills. High handicapper. Course in good condition. Staff very friendly. Love the Fillies and Colts restaurant/19th hole. Big Pittsburgh Steeler fans. Can’t wait to go back.

Staff Rude

The course is improved and a value at $38-$48 however the manager is rude and acted as if she is doing me a favor allowing us to play their course. We had a player cancel and she stated “we costed her money” and she told the group behind us they were late as they checked in 10 minutes prior to their tee time. I have played this course for 25 years and we will not be returning until the management changes.

Needs work

The greens were dead or dying on every hole. Several had fairway grass growing on the green disrupting putting dramatically.

Great Value

Had a couple bumpy greens with sod on the edges. Other than that I had a great time especially for the price. I’ll be back

Course Conditions

Course conditions were ok. Several greens were in less than moderate shape and a few tee boxes needed some growth.
