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.

Not as good as once was
The course just isn’t maintained as it once was. I played last fall as well as this spring and both times there were weeds and bare spots in the fairway specifically around the greens and traps. If you receive a bargain price ( key word bargain) play, because it still has a nice And playable layout for all skill levels. But I wouldn’t pay list price until more is invested in quality improvements.
Great course if you have 6 hours to kill as a single
Course is in pretty good shape, greens look good but have a ton of ball marks because no one repairs the pitch marks. I have played here quite a few times and the course itself is always in good shape and the staff is very nice but it takes so long to play. I have never teed off on time and always play behind atleast two foursomes with no one in front of them and no play through or behind walkers playing two balls. The second time I played this course I this course I played behind a six players all in one group, and I left after I played one hole waited almost 20 minutes to get to the second tee box, then waited another 20 minutes for them to be a manageable distance. If you plan on spending all day at the course this is a good spot if you want to play your round and leave, id look elsewhere
Lovely nice course
We played today on this nice course. Beautiful situated between the houses on this resort. Challenging par 3’s and some very long par 4’s. We’ll sure visit this course again when we stay in Fayetteville.
Still a good course
Love this layout haven’t been to AC in about 6-7 years the weather sucks right now (Average below 50 temps cloudy and rain) but you can tell the grass and overall condition have been kept up, it will be great in a month or two! The greens rolled nice and the bunkers have plenty of sand even in winter conditions, always a good day at the creek!
Anderdon Creek
Course at one point in time was probably an outstanding course. Layout is challenging but many areas marked GUR and other areas in need of significant attention. Greens damaged in many areas with weed grasses around fringe.
Great course, challenging layout
The course is tough, but the fairways are wide enough to make it fair. Greens can be very fast if above the hole. Beautiful layout, scenery. Staff was very nice.
Great Layout
Anytime I break 80 on any course is a great day! The staff was very personable and engaged in some conversation! The Clubhouse was 5 Star, but I didn't get a chance to eat there, but they were busy when I finished my round.
I am old school and a very observant of course conditions. I really loved the layout, good for faders and drawers! The greens rolled really nice, because I made alot of one putts, "smiling". However, I wish golfers would fix there ball marks. A few bad spots on the fairways that I would like to see filled in better, but it is the Sandhills. I played a course back in the day, where they would have a kid go around the course and just fix ball marks on the greens, I think that is what all courses should adopt. Heck, I may even do it for some free golf. I will return!
Great course for the price
First time at the course that I have heard good things about.
The layout was great. The greens were a little damaged, but ok. If they fixed the greens, it could be an awesome course. Great variety of long and short holes, fairways are wide and giving. NIce bunkering. There is a a couple of water holes, but I don't remember them coming into play. I will probably play it again.
NICE LAYOUT-GREENS WERE NOT SO GREAT
The driving range was worth visiting, range balls were included in our round. The course was in pretty good shape, but in many areas they needed to manicure the overgrowth around the tee boxes. The fairways were decent but the bermuda rough is a bit too high for a non tournament course.
The greens were the biggest issue for a better rating. It looked like they should have been bent grass, but they have Bermuda growing randomly throughout the all the greens. They didn't roll well, and were not in great shape. There are many places to play golf in the Pinehurst area, and we probably won't return to Anderson Creek.
A Good Day
Greens could use some work and the pace was very slow but staff was friendly and overall a challenging but fun course.
Greens are in bad shape
Greens are overgrown with weeds. Some rough spots in fairways and rough. Overall condition is average.
Great day
First time playing this course and I got lucky to be paired up with 3 regulars/members because there are A LOT of blind tee shots, they gave me the right aim lines. The layout was very enjoyable and the tee boxes and fairways were in great shape, the greens had some mix Bermudas and we're a little tricky. I had a great time but I was also striking the ball really well! I would definitely play here again. Went to the snack bar after the round and had shrimp tacos and they were fantastic, and the beer was cold!
Great Course
Good course for the price. Course was in excellent condition and very challenging. Will definitely play again.
Back 9 awesome, the front nine needs some work to provide the same level of setup. Service after golf at bar was slow especially when looking to have a beverage. Would return had fun playing the course
Davis Love III design
Love the challenging layout with fair bailout areas if needed. The greens seamed to be having a difficult time filling in a month after punching and top dressing but played to a reasonable pace. The fairways are having a tough time recovering from our extremely wet fall, winter and spring. I recommend lift clean and place for a few weeks.
