Anderson Creek Golf Club
About
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.

It’s been better
Fairways were very thin . Bunkers were unplayable . Tee boxes were equal amounts of dirt and grass .
This is a challenging yet fun layout but needs some work
Great course. Play from the correct tees. Course can be long if you don't.
Fun First Trip Around!
Me and two buddies thoroughly enjoyed our first trip around Anderson Creek GC. The course was great, especially the greens! While they were pretty slow with all the rain the day before, they still managed to offer a major challenge considering where the pins where. The rest of the course was in ok shape but honestly it looked like a lot of courses towards the end of Summer that have had thousands of rounds played on it. The staff was very nice, especially the ladies working the bar. Made us feel so welcome and made some absolutely delicious transfusions. Will definitely be making the drive again soon.
STRESS FREE GOLF
First time playing here and enjoyed every minute. Took a friend visiting from NYC and he thought it was one of the nicest courses he has ever played. We enjoyed the pace, the staff, the price and really enjoyed the challenging layout. Highly recommend!!
Bunkers?
Bunkers are such a huge part of any golf course so if you install them, maintain them. Fairways looked like late April condition. Tee boxes were subject. Staff was friendly enough. Greens were okay. The layout is awesome.
Love the home town course but we need rain.
Green are getting plenty of water but the fairways and rough are struggling right now. The lack of rain has dried everything out and the ponds they use to water the course are pretty low as well. I will always support my course but just know your ball gonna run an extra 50 yards off the drive.
Great Course- great staff
I play here often, the course is wonderful, the staff is super friendly, the golf carts are the best in the state of North Carolina, however the tee boxes were in bad shape, they were a little dried out. This was the first time I ever experienced anything at this course that can be considered a negative.
I am already planning my next foursome at this course-
Awesome Course
This is a Gem of a course it is layer out beautifully and the new carts are the Best there is the amenities on course and off are very good it's only going to get better once they start building more restaurants and hotels around the area and shopping centers you will host some major tournaments for the state and country. Thank you.
Parched is an understatement
Played in a GOLFWEEK Amateur Tour event here today. I have played this course four or five times this year and the conditions were the worst I’ve seen in a long time at any course. Tournament golf and there are no range balls available to warm up. Three employees chatting at the starters table I asked and they flat out said they were “out of range balls”. I asked if anyone ever picks them up. Tees and fairways were dry and hard as rock. I felt as if I were hitting off hard pan all day. Greens were still healing from aeration four weeks ago and quite bumpy and slow. I don’t recommend playing Anderson creek until we get some steady rains or they figure out the irrigation system.
Course manager was very rude!
I love the course but the guy that is the manager was very rude! They were having some sort of tournament that morning. I paid and went to the driving range, emptied my bag of balls and began to warm up next to a guy that was hitting balls. (He was playing in the tournament) The manager came out on a cart and told me to pick my balls up and move to the other end of the range. I told him that there were no signs telling me that the area that I was hitting in a wrong area. He told me to either move or leave the course. I was so so surprised at what he said, I didn’t say anything. I just picked my balls up and moved. However, after I realized what had just happened, I wanted to find the guy and tell him where he could go. But I couldn’t find him. I’m a 3 handicap golfer. I was so upset that I shot a 90 that day. Again, I like the course. But I’d still love to find that guy and let he and I revisit that episode again. He would have a bad day. Not me.
Great layout
Course was in very good shape. I have always loved the layout of this Davis Love course. The pace of play could have been better. There was a ranger riding around but couldn’t tell if he was pushing the slow groups a head of our group. My only recommendation is put the water coolers back out on the course. They did have a beverage cart but only saw her once on each side. Will play again maybe during the week next time to see if pace of play is better.
Greens have been punched.
Wish it would have been made know before booking so I could have pick another course. I understand it’s required maintenance but make it known to the public. Beside that the rest of the course is fantastic. The new carts are a nice addition.
Anderson creek
It's a hidden gem. Great course awesome staff n the food n drinks are great too!
Anderson Creek
Anderson Creek golf course is now becoming my favorite course, the greens are always in great condition, each hole has its challenges. The staff is wonderful to deal with. The new golf carts are by far the best golf carts in all the state of North Carolina.
Great Experience
Helpful & friendly staff, the course is in great condition, greens can be a bit challenging (many swells),
