Ice course bad direction on WAZE and google maps

Nice course to play good layout. Greens are new, good condition but slow. Directions took us to the other CAT courses so be careful when navigating. Played round in 3hr 45 min

Sand and Water

Fun track to play with lots of sand and water so you better keep it on the fairway. Greens were in great shape not fast yet. It would be good to play with someone who knows the course. The first time there’s some tricky spots to stay away from Definitely a recommend

Great Course

My family played Leopards Chase Saturday… What a Course!! It is tough, unyielding, with lots of sand and lots of water as well as waste areas. It’s in great shape. Greens were a bit furry but rolled true. Fairways are are in good shape. The greenside bunkers could use more sand. We’ll be back again. Bring your A game to this course!!

Avoid Leopards Chase and Panthers Run

Unbelievable! First course was Panthers Run. 5:5 hr round. Marshall didn’t care. Blamed slow play on 9 minute tee time spacing. 5 groups on par 3’s. And, terrible fairway and green conditions.

Second course Tigre’s Eye. Much better. Played with locals in just over 4 hours. Better conditions all around.

Third round at Leopards Chase. Beautiful course and great conditions. However, we walked off after 13 holes in over 4 hrs to find 3 groups on 14th hole tee deck. Staff responded “well we told people to pick it up what do you want me to do!” What do I want you to do? Marshal and remove slow players from the course after fair warning. This is not the North Carolina golf experience I was led to believe available.

Good Morning. Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Leopard's Chase. I am glad to hear you felt the course conditions and layout were great. We apologize for the slower than usual play during your round. This is the busiest week of the busiest month of the year and most of the area courses are booked heavily, which can contribute to slower than ideal rounds. Our course marshals definitely do their best to keep play moving at a reasonable pace, but, depending on a great many circumstances, this is not always possible. As you can imagine, we certainly do not want to place any of our employees in a situation that could lead to a physical altercation, especially when alcohol consumption is involved. Removing a group forcibly from a course is not as easy as it sounds. In the most extreme of circumstances, we would call the police for assistance and, believe me, that is always a Lose/Lose situation for both the golfers and the course. So we deeply apologize for the slow pace of play on this particular date. That is certainly not our goal or intention and is actually a very rare occurrence at Leopard's Chase. If you will contact me at blong@oceanridge.com, I would be happy to work with you to try to help rectify this situation.
