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.

good day for Golf

Great day but Hot, course was in good shape and pace of play was good on the front 9. At the turn the grill staff is way to slow, took over 10 min to get a hot dog and with that totally screwed up the order on the back 9 which created such slow play we had to skip a group of golfers ( who had no business being on a golf course ). 3 hours to play the back nine, made the day very disappointing. Rangers were weak and would not address the problem. Love the course but may have to re-think alternatives vs playing AC again.

Great layout and conditions

Anderson Creek is definitely off-the-beaten-path, but we’ll worth the trip from Raleigh. The layout of the course is great—lots of variety. Also, the conditions were great, especially given that the area was in a drought.

Easily could be a high level course

Went out on a Saturday morning around 0830. Wasn’t caught behind or rushed once. The course layout is very challenging with some tough greens. If they could clean up around the greens a little better and prevent them from being hard like concrete this course would be 5 stars all around.

Great value. Nice course.

Incredible value on the Hot Deal for 18 holes and a cart. Course was pretty well maintained. Fairways and greens were fast and firm but consistent throughout. Changes in elevations throughout keep your attention with a few picturesque holes. Bunkers will punish you throughout but overall good course. Staff was friendly and courteous. Putting green and driving range simple and nice.
