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.

Beautiful course.

My first time. Challenging enough for me. I love the forward tees. It makes my round so much more enjoyable. I am not a long hitter off the tee or on the fairway. Those bunkers are fun and interesting. Looking forward to my next round.

Not the greatest day but it was fin

I got paired up with some new golfers and I hed to teach them some things about Golf etiquette, and not to waste time searching for their balls and taking turns hitting shots. We were on pace to play a 6 hour round but managed to push them around and get in a 5 hour round.

Front 9 was slow but I felt like we were the only ones on the coarse for the back 9.

I didn't bother keeping score because my game was so off I just gave up and focused on practicing some things because I had the time.

CART PATH ONLY ROUND

Greens SUPER SLOW. Didn't know cart path only for 6/18 holes. For a HOT DEAL barely worth it. Bare fairways. Save your money. Bayonet or Keith Hills. Restaurant very good service and good food

Just needs some maintenance

Obviously a great layout as evidenced by the early Golf Digest awards, however they seem to be relying on early reviews to drive current marketing . Overall, the course is lacking in maintenance. The fairways and greens were in good shape, however a lot of the rough was out of control, and the bunkers have been poorly maintained with several lacking sand or standing in water. For the price we paid, it was not bad. I would not want to pay full price, though

A little run down

Beautiful place but the greens had some large bald spots that I would not expect to see on a course I pay 75 dollars to play on.

Other than that we had a great time but I think the price is about 15 dollars too high.
