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.

A shotmaker's course

This course makes you consider club selection and types of shots all the around the track. Bunkers, slick greens and narrowing fairways offer quite a challenge.

The Promise of a Great Course Ruined by Slow Play

What a wonderful venue ruined by an indifference to slow play. Course is somewhat isolated, so a decision to drive to AC was based on the promise of a playing a good track. Staff were extremely nice, and course was in good shape. Nice designs, though I don't think I saw a flat putt for the 9 holes my wife and I played. Local knowledge is a key to scoring well. What drives my evaluation was the VERY slow play; close to 3 hours to play 9 holes and no one seemed to be out doing anything about it. We waited on the 10th tee to see if things had improved and after 10 minutes we packed it in never to return. What a shame. Went back to tell staff about it, but no one was around. Oh well. Another reason why interest in golf is waning.

Great value

The course was in very good shape and the greens were excellent. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. For the cost of the round, it is hard to beat this course.
