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.

Slowest 2 rounds of golf I've ever played and no water fountains or coolers on the course

My buddy and I played Anderson creek back in September and took close to 6 hours to play 18 holes being stuck behind others. No marshal to keep up the pace of play. We came back to give it another shot and see the improvements like the new carts and starting off we were impressed. Unfortunately we ran into the same problem at hole 7 or 8 there were a total of 5 groups either waiting to tee off or on the green. There was also no water in the cooler spots or at the bathrooms to drink so on a 96 degree day if you ran out of water you had to wait till the turn which took 45 minutes too long.

Hidden Gem

Only a short drive from Pinehurst in a lovely gated community. Lots of challenge for the average golfer, especcially the greens. Entire area needs rain, but course in excellent shape. Brand new electric carts with GPS were very helpful. Best of all...not one other golfer on the course!

Very playable golf course

Greens had just been too dressed and verticut but still held an approach shot and rolled true. Only saw one other player during our round. Nice layout and one that I would play again.

Course layout

Enjoyed course layout and green undulation. Green speeds were fair. I would like to see more directional signs and online information on how to get to the course. I will definitely play again.

Great course

Great course !

Beautiful fast undulating greens.

Fairways just starting to green up but still had good lies. Traps need help, but luckily only had to play out of 2 of them.

Had lunch after the round. Food was good but took a while to get it.

We’ll definitely be back.
