Lonnie Poole firstimer

Was surprised and impressed. My only caveat was the condition of the course, but given the time of year - mid-March - I understand the conditioning - trimmed down rough, early stages of new grass, etc. will have to play in high season to review again.

Course has a lot of wear from excess play divots in key spots.. pace was fine on front side and two players dropped out for back. The twosome in front of me turned to three by12 hole..then 5or 6 by the 15th. Throw in the golf team member with coach jumping in behind me on the course once hitting into a green before I reached it and practicing behind me while I am waiting on 6players in front of me… I just left the course. Probably wont be back anytime soon. There always is something going on at this course dysfunctional .

Nothing different with this place

If you’ve played here you know how consistent the course conditions are. Greens are as good as they could be during a North Carolina February.

Terrific course with a challenging but performable layout

I am a below-average golfer, handicap wise. I enjoyed playing this course, and I feel that although it is a more-so target golf and challenging course, it can play to novice players as well. The bunkers were well-maintained; the course structure was great, and the fairways/greens were very solid for February game play.
