When Anderson Creek Golf Club first opened in 2001 it was immediately recognized as the "Best New Golf Course in North Carolina." The course was designed by 1997 PGA Championship winner Davis Love III, it was his first signature design in North Carolina. It has a traditional layout that epitomizes golf in the Carolina Sandhills. The layout features rolling emerald fairways lined with towering pines and undulating greens bordered by large roll-off areas, a tribute to the classic Donald Ross designs that are prevalent in the Sandhills. The challenging golf course has tricky doglegs and there are a variety of elevation changes throughout. Water comes into play on a few holes at Anderson Creek Golf Club, most memorably though on the par-3 fourth, which demands a carry over a large lake. Strategically placed bunkers also lurk along the greensides.

Same course, fairways and greens still a bit dormant, super tight lies and wobbly greens. Good value at $42 to ride. Super slow play today.

Too expensive for the course conditions

Had high hopes for this course but for the money, the course was in poor condition. Fairways were very bare with many dirt spots all over the fairways. The greens were beautiful but they let the greens grow out very long (assuming for color) and they putted terribly. Some of the slowest greens I've ever played on.

Anderson Creek

Anderson Creek is always an enjoyable course to play. If you play after it has been raining be prepared to just remove your ball from any bunkers when they are very wet or have standing water which is a common problem with several area courses. Other than that, everyone in the clubhouse and those working on the course are outstanding to deal with.

Best value for the money

Very good layout. Course is quite difficult and requires good shot making. The course was very wet due to heavy rains the prior day. Will come back again.

Great deal and challenging course. Green’s not bad after rough and cold temps. A little behind but should be in pretty good shape by mid to late April. Great layout especially back nine.

Great and challenging course. Must play to test your game.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to challenge themselves. It is a really tough course, but fun course. Very tricky, and requires you to think about what clubs you’re using off the tee box. The range and practice greens are great. Club house is great. Conditions are usually really good, green’s aren’t the most consistent, but they are always in good shape.

Great layout, bumpy greens

Their airation efforts was several days ago, looks like no top dressing was applied and the greens are bumpy making putting a poke and hope.

For the price, I would wait for fall to try it again
