Keith Hills Golf Club - Black Course

The course was in very good condition despite heavy rains. Very entertaining layout and design on the Orange and White courses. We will definitely make this a regular stop.

Keith Hills is a great course to play. There are 3 different 9-hole courses to choose from, although one is closed for renovations now. Each course is very well maintained with moderately fast mini verde bermuda greens. It is challenging from the long tees and moderately difficult from the middle tees. Great practice area with putting green, range, sand bunker and chipping green. Also, download the keith hills app for a great gps/scorecard function

we played orange / white. golf now bills it as orange / black

(white is a dan maples course .. part of second 18. the green course is permanently closed. black open in fall.)

delightful day in buies creek!!!! great course. first time we have played and very pleasant surprise. in spite of the drive, we will be back. can't wait to play the black (supposedly the most challenging.)

course was in great shape and a challenging day of golf ... typical ellis maples golf on orange.)

don't let the white fool you. first three holds are very tough. I should have given them more respect. would play white again too. more of an open midwestern feel.

great day/value.

Thought the course was in great shape, although having aerated a little over 1 week ago, the greens were rolling slow. Should be in great shape in 1-2 more weeks and into the fall, as the greens were in great shape, but just slow. Overall, the course was nice and I'll definitely return again this season.

This is an old favorite course that we had not played in a couple of years. It was just as great as we remembered, and one of our players was there for the first time. He was thrilled with it.

Very well maintained and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Enjoyed playing the newer Orange course, greens were in good condition overall. The Black course, our back-nine has spotty greens that need some attention. Overall for the value, it was a good course. Friendly to women, moderately challenging for men. Fairways on Orange were good, Black fairways had some very thin spots.

If, like me, you love golf history and the links as they used to be played by the greats of the game, then you will enjoy looping at Keith Hills. As with many of the 'old' courses designed by Ellis Maples it is never a far distance from green to teeing ground of the next hole. I have played here since about 1986 when I move to NC from CA. The atmosphere around the club is all about golf, as it should be.
There are three courses of nine hols each, the Orange, the Black and the White. I have only played the Orange and Black, and those 18 holes are the original design by Maples; although he had the course laid out to be played from Black to Orange. If you have an opportunity to go that route be prepared for a devilish finishing hole, a par four dog leg right with water and bunkers to be dealt with on the second shot. Thus the reason most people play the Orange course first as that hole is better handled as no. 9 than no. 18.
The Black course at this time has had a new watering system installed so many of the trenches are still barren and play as GUR. Other than that, all is as it has always been, although the winter weather of March 2013 has the grounds about a month out of balance with good growing conditions but the greens are great, true and deceivingly quick.
Love golf? Then make that trip to Buies Creek and play where the Fighting Camels play. You'll be glad you did.

I still have not played the black course (white, orange and black). Course is in good condition, no complaints other than the greens are very hard and it is difficult to stop the ball on the green on the orange course.

Looked like irrigation lines were just put in on the fairways,greens were excellent.Will play again asap.

White Course was in great condition whereas Black needed some attention.

A great combination of elevation, sand and natural hazards with lots of opportunities to make grat shots or err, as the case may be.

However, the greens are super challenging and somewhat inconsistent between the fron and rear nine.

There are 3 X 9 hole courses, plus a 4th unused course. Played Orange and Black. These are the old courses. The white and unused are newer and are Links style. Orange is in fairly good shape with new cart paths and new irrigation. Black has really bad cart paths, this is mentioned because it is cart path only due to digging in fairways for irrigation. It was not crowded, but I feel they should have put us on the white/orange. Appeared some membors were on the white. Overall, greens and tees were in good shape. Course was interesting with some hills and turns and ponds. Snack bar was on winter schedule, although this was just after they went to daylight savings - duh. It was full of people eaing chips and candy...could have sold burgers for another hour. Recommend asking for white/orange course

I have played this course probably 30-40 times over the last 5 years. It is one of my favorite courses in the area. The course has three nine hole sides: Black, Orange and White. Each side is unique. Black seems more narrow and tree lined, Orange seems to have more greenside bunkers, and White has more water hazards and is longer. This past year they have redone the greens - these greens are exceptional right now (Feb 2013). There are many courses in this area with more undulation on the greens, but these greens are quick and smooth. Great value. Go play.

Good value if the driving distance is not too far.

Well maintained. Nice layout. Friendly staff. Would certainly play there again.

This was one of the nicest courses we have played in quite a while. A lot of different looks for each hole made it even more fun. Well worth the drive.

Great looking course and the conditions are great! Great deal for the price! Would definitely recommend it it!
