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.

UNIMPRESSED & OVERPRICED
Just not that great!! Greens were decent rest of course was just OK. After reading reviews I expected a lot better course layout. It was decent, but it felt like homes were close to fairways on most holes. Not worth the $40 rate they are currently charging.
Staff was very indifferent! Starter didn't say a word to me, had to track him down to ask for scorecard since I was walking. He still didn't say more then 2 words to me.
Won't be heading back to Anderson Creek.
Anderson Creek.....money!
What a great course for the dollar! Davis Love III did a great job designing the course. I will SURELY go back and play it when I can.
Very Long, Decent Course
I played from the back tees and i was looked at multiple times like i was a complete moron. The course is 7,200 from the back which is normal from where i am from. But the course is pretty doable. Anyway, we spoke to some members who while telling us we were crazy for playing the back, updated us on the course. They said Davis Love was no longer involved and that the course had gone way down hill in recent years. They were right. I had been told about this course for a couple months, that it was the hidden jem around here. Well it was pretty untrue. Course fairways were pretty rough, greens weren't great and bunkers were over grown and grass was all around them. Many places were hard to find the distance to the green too. If you play from the back have fun on the par 3s. I played them well but they are long. We paid $35. Thats iffy for this place. Should be $25-30 max. Plenty of nicer courses on golf now for the $35 range that i would rather play. Holes 14-18 are great and you can tell were very well designed. Could be a great course. Members out here are drinking beer and betting on holes. We luckily got stuck behind 5 Five some of drinking members coming out of the bar. All were pretty poor golfers and slow as humanly possible. We played 18 holes in 6 hours and 35 minutes. So have fun with that part of it, they also don't take care of the course at all. Divots are everywhere and the greens have divots literally covering the whole green. I probably repaired 50.
Sandhills Davis Love Design
Solid test of golf, in pretty good condition, leaves a problem - it's that time of year.
Played on a Sat @9:30 finished by 1 - temps mid 70's
good test of skills at 6400+ from white tees
Put this one on your golf bucket list.
Hidden Gem
This DL3 design is a hidden gem nestled in the woods. Great holes which plays over 7200 from the tips, with some long holes on the back. Play the right tees for your length, and you will enjoy this great golf course.
Excellent Course
Wonderful course! Always a challenge every time I play. The course is always in excellent shape and the greens run fast and true. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended course. A+.
Disappointing
After a day with not a spectacular amount of rainfall, the course was extremely muddy and mushy. Bunkers were horrible, staff in the snack bar were rude at the turn.
Just a bad experience.
Awesome Course-Great Challenge
WOW...this course is spectacular! I highly recommend it to any golfer looking for a fun time, on a great course that's in really good shape. Make sure you play from the right tees for your game, or you will get beat up.
Course conditions were thin
There were thin and burned out areas. Conditions only average. Course complexity was good (difficult for me). Greens are large and multi-level.
wonderfull
we played this great golf course on April 9/2014. we liked it so much we returned the next day, & the food was great. Very friendly .
tobacco road hidden gem
played ac while fairways were still dormant; would love to play course later in the season; greens were recently punched and had not fully recovered so putting was a challenge; please tell singles that they cannot play through, especially when the course is backed-up; otherwise the wife and I had a wonderful time.
Large deep bunkers
Greens had been punched a month ago but the growing conditions did not help them grow in. Tough putting as they were fast and undulating but did not roll true. Would be challenging when in good condition. Ladies in the group found the bunkers quite difficult . Quite a hilly course which was not enjoyed by all , I however loved the layout.
Great layout
This is a true golfer's course. Meaning, the layout is challenging and makes you think and make decisions. Lots of bunkered corners to tempt you to try and carry. Greens have plenty of undulations. Biggest disappointment was that we played it in the middle of March so all the bermuda was dormant and you were basically hitting off mud. Would have been much nicer if they had over seeded the fairways with rye. Also, the greens had been aerated and sanded. I would love to play this course in the prime season.
Great course
Even though there was a snow storm a week and a half ago and a day of heavy rain last week, this course was in very good shape...the greens were in awesome shape and you can tell that the staff takes great pride in giving you a good product...will definitely be playing again in the near future...
Great Course/Staff
Course layout is great--challenging but fair. Staff is outgoing, friendly, and helpful. Course was wet due to weather, but the greens were in great shape. Always a beautiful course to play!
Great conditions for late winter
Course was in great shape for this time of the year. Green were virtually flawless. Staff was friendly and very accommodating.
kit em straight
Not a course for the 'duffer.'. Keep it in the fairways and you're OK, spray the ball and you'll pay the price. Lots of sand and a little water. Enjoy!
Great Course To Play
A great course to play that offer you array of pin placement from being a blind pin shot, downhill pin shot or uphill.
Quick greens
The course will challenge even the best of golfers! It certainly will challenge your ability to read greens. You have to play some holes by running the ball up onto the putting surface, but good luck at getting it to stop. One of my favorite courses.
Great Course
Booked and the staff was extremely friendly. This is the second time I played here and I would go back in a heart beat.
Thanks for the review. Just saw it for $25 on Groupgolfer and have heard great things in the past so almost bought. Glad I came here first.
