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.

Great weekday value for money, but geared towards regulars

The course design is excellent with five sets of tee boxes where none of them feel like an afterthought. The residences come into play but except for a couple of holes with townhomes on them only the most errant of hitters will really notice. Very interesting and sometimes deceptive use of bunkers, so you really had to think about each shot - not "Target golf" but course knowledge would play a big role.

The massive challenge for a first time player like us was the lack of any meaningful yardage marking except for the 150 pole. No GPS on the cart is ok, but at least mark the sprinkler heads and the cart paths.

That said, the course was excellent overall, very friendly staff and a great value for the price. At noon on a weekday we had the course to ourselves until a single caught up to us as we were trying to figure out the 16th green. It is in a gated community so leave yourself a few extra minutes to arrive in case the gate house is busy.

Great Track!

For $54 bucks it’s one of the better courses I’ve played at that price. Very challenging, Greens rolled true, some blind shots into the green.

Great course and a great experience.

I played Anderson Creek on 10/5/21 for the first time. The pace of play was excellent, possibly due to it being cart path only that day. Every single staff member we encountered was very friendly, especially the ranger, who went out of his way to give us a quick tour of the facility. The practice area was very nice and the pro shop was well appointed. We tee’d off on time at 10:50 from the whites. The tee boxes were in good shape, fairways were gorgeous and the greens were well manicured and ran true. The greens are very FAST! I had such a great time, I came back and played the next day on 10/6/21 with my buddy. Highly recommend this gem of a course and I look forward to playing again very soon!

Worth the Trip From Raleigh

Course was in good shape, challenging, and worth the hour trip from Raleigh. It was nice to not have to sell one of my children to get a Sunday morning tee time as well. Will be back and hopefully I will play better!

Course great. Pace of play very slow.

Had a tournament in front of us on busy Saturday. Not sure why they weren’t scheduled for after 2pm. We hand 1230 tee time. Took 4 hours and 45 minutes to finish. Suggest not scheduling tournament on weekend with outside play mixed in.

Excellent course

This is a beautiful course the only complaint is the maintenance guy came in the fairway to mow an under brush. It was very loud and disruptive while I was in my backswing. I tried to catch him to advise him of the disrespect but he completely ignored me. We came up on the next tee box and their he was with his motor turned off giving respect to guys on the tee box. I wonder why he disrespected us? Otherwise it was a great day and will be back!

Great course, hardly anyone playing too, which was strange..

A great course, not very easy, but in excellent condition with fairly new greens that rolled true and fast. Played on a Monday and the turnout was very light. 3.5 hour round and playing in no rush.
