Rainy

start off by saying I have been playing this course for 3 years and always enjoy. Yes, read the reviews and general consensus.... it’s a tough course! Very challenging but will keep you coming back! Fun layout and Getting to know the layout will help but knowing the layout will not completely eliminate the 200 yard 2nd shots on the par 4’s. Course condition was in good shape, I have seen it better. The foursome in front of us was slow! Started raining on the back 9 and they played even slower. Course is difficult, please pick up at double par (or less) and don’t play several balls when another foursome is on your heels. Always a pleasure to play here! I’ll be back

Keep coming back

This layout tests every club in your bag. Second shots are more important here than at most tracks. The last par 5 is a monster... on in 3 is excellent. Varied greens... fine tee boxes... can I break 90 next time??

Fun track

Challenging, fun layout in a beautiful setting. Greens are in great shape. Fairways and tee boxes are coming out of dormancy and are looking good. This is the best shape I’ve seen the course in, but I’ve only played it a couple of times in the last two years.

Nice, challenging course ruined by slow play

Nice course layout, overall was in excellent condition except for tee boxes, which were fair. But experience ruined by the pace of play. I had a 2:12 tee time on a Saturday, and it took me 5 hrs 20 min to play 18 holes in a cart playing as a twosome. There were multiple groups ahead of us (including one group of 6) spraying the ball everywhere, and then the whole group would drive to each person's ball to hit. Some of this is not the course's fault, but they can enforce a max of 4 players per time and have the rangers enforce pace of play. By the end of the round there was literally a line of three groups waiting to tee off behind the slow players, and no ranger in sight. Would recommend the course, but not on a weekend.

Save your $$$

Ouch this was a mistake at least for our foursome. Greens didn’t look like they were maintained very well !?

This was an outing for a friend which all in all made the golfing worth it

Not worth the rack rate price!

Sanford Municipal and Siler City CC would be considered a better playing course

Value for cost

This course is beautiful. The value is second to none. Please keep the rates the same and I will continue to drive 35+ minutes here. Very tough greens to read, but overall great course for the value. Would be a member if I lived closer.

Strange Experience

Booked a round through “Golf Now”. When I arrived, the pro shop attendant told me they “weren’t allowing carts” on the course because “it was wet”. I asked for a pull cart and he said they didn’t have any.

I’ve played golf for years and have never heard of a course not allowing golf carts because it had rained. Why not cart path only?? I just carried my bag for 9 holes, seeing that I drove an hour to play the course.
