Great value
Nice course. Mix of short holes and long, challenging holes. Great value for the money.
Good Value
Under new ownership. They are working hard to improve the course. The front nine is in better shape than the back nine. But for $45.00 you should not complain.
Promising course
The layout is great and this course could be great once the upkeep catches back up. Very friendly staff and they’re trying to make it nice. In a couple years it may be one of the better courses in the area.
5 inch fairways and tees
The greens were fair. Some were slow and others were a tad faster. The grass on the tees and fairways were at least 5 inches tall. Lost 2 balls in the fairway. I had to pull weeds to tee up the ball. The proshop didn't warn us of the conditions of the course and shouldn't have charged us about half the price. The course shouldn't be opened until they can get it mowed.
Work by the new owner has greatly improved course conditions and conditions are getting better by the day. Fun course and a great vaule.
Don’t waste your time.
Course was a mess. Yes, flooding happened recently but the course couldn’t have been damaged that much… the course was already trashed.
Seems they are more concerned with the little restaurant than golf course operation.
I won’t go back as that’s are way too may other options in Sandhills of NC.
Not Great
Course was in bad shape. Fairways were like the rough at other courses. Greens were bad, and chewed up. Tee areas very bad. Staff was very friendly, and the bar was very nice.
New packaging
Out is the new In and In is the new Out. This is reflected in ther new scorecards, however, your yardage apps may not have updated.
New management said it eases digestion, er, congestion around the bar/grill area as groups make the turn or finish their round. TBD.
Best pace of play for a 9:00 a.m. in my life; nobody ahead, nobody behind.......Chef's kiss because it allowed for multiple attempts every hole to attempt to make a putt. The greens had a 5 o'clock shadow from last week.
New packaging but same product, just now a little more spendy.
With new ownership, the course has changed tremendously for the good. Fairways and greens are immaculate condition especially just recently arefication. I will definitely return
Rough shape
Great layout but there was gravel inside bunkers, weeds growing up around most of them and just overall poorly maintained course for the price. Wish I could get like half my money back cause 60$ to play here was a rip off
The Woods - Will definitely play it again
Overall the course is a good challenge with some reasonably simple holes combined with some challenging holes. The back 9 was in good condition mostly. The front 9 fairways and greens were in mostly good condition. The tee boxes are in need of grass. The course is a great value & I will definitely play it again.
Getting Better
The coarse is under NEW management. It is getting better. I'm excited and ready to play this course again. It's not perfect yet but getting there.!
Need Signage
The new owners have reversed the front and back 9. I like the change but they need to change the signs for the holes and paths...like directions to hole 1!
