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.

The par-3 fourth hole plays over water. Photo submitted by JasonDeeganGA on 12/20/2013
Amazing Greens
Nice variety of holes and the conditions were great. Greens were perfect and rolled very true. Greens were amazing, did I mention that!!
Little of a far drive from Raleigh but that’s not the courses fault. I’ll be back
Anderson Creek
Course was in good condition. Pace of play was very slow with no rangers anywhere to speed up play. Took 10 to 15 minutes on every shot and minimum of three groups waiting on every hole
Nice surprise
Really enjoyed the course... tougher than expected ..except for the fact that some of the sand traps were a little hard packed... We had a great time. Also liked the need to use a variety of clubs.
ACC has done a 180
This place has always had a great layout. Finally now the course is back to being in great shape. It was wet from the rain all weekend but it still played fast - 3:55 4-some. The greens are perfect - very true and immaculate shape. ACC is a place again where you’ve got to visit. It is my understanding that the clubhouse is being renovated for a new company to takeover.
We were looking forward to a great experience after driving a hour and half... upon arriving there was a lack of staff and not that friendly or informative...went to grab some food and drinks for the round only to find the snack shop and restaurant closed... cart path only, no beverages available and 80 degrees out not cool..good news course conditions excellent and course layout challenging...
I want to come back
Course played a little slow because it was cart paths only. That is because the fairways were very wet. I don't think I had more than a total of 10 yards of roll out on drives. But The greens were good and the layout of the course was very interesting. I want to come back when it is dryer.
Nicest practice green I've ever seen
Greens are in great shape right now and roll just a touch slower than the practice green.
New Greens are prestine
New greens since reopening are divine. Some of the best i have played.
Great track. Fair off the tee but challenging on approach. Greens received and rolled great.
Challenging Course
One of the more challenging courses in the area. Excellent greens, fast and the hole placement was challenging but not impossible. Pace of play was excellent on a weekend with all the tee times filled. There are some areas where a shank will cost you a ball, but that's what golf is about. There were a few areas that were water soaked, an a few 90 degree rules, but overall, course is in great shape. Btw, they provide plenty of sand, golfers can help by filling their divots in the fairway, it helps keep this course enjoyable for everyone. Only disappointing thing is there should be a way for some refreshments on the turn, bottled water, something. Great course, fun play, bring your own water.
Great! New greens!
First time we’ve been back since they put in the new greens and we had a great game. The grill was being redone by a new company that took it over so it was closed for lunch but the course itself was very nice.
Great shape!
ACC is in the best shape I’ve seen in the 5 years I’ve been down here. The new greens and tee boxes are incredible and very true. Would definitely recommend getting out there before the end of the season, especially on the several hot deals each weekend. Great work over the summer shutdown!
OK
Had a Sunday afternoon tee time (2:30 pm). No ranger or starter in sight with groups of 4, 2 and a single walker all teeing off within 10 minutes of one another. We did somehow finish the round in 4 hours and 10 minutes, however there was a stretch of holes with 3 groups backed up at the tee boxes. The course conditions of have deteriorated since I last played about 2 years ago. The greens rolled true but the fairways and short game areas around the green had LOTS of bare spots and wash out areas that limited your shot making.
