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.

Nice course

My only negative review is that some of the fairways had a lot of crab grass growing on them.They looked more like rough than fairways, And the greens played

a lot slower than the last time I played this course.Often than that the staff, amenities ,and layout were great.

Very good experience. Some areas ground under repair - clearly marked. Greens were in great shape, receptive approaches but challenging. Little bit higher stimp than i am used to (but that's golf). Well maintained facility. If in area strongly recommend this course especially for the price

Great value

The pro shop is very nice with a large selection. The driving range is nice and the putting green has a nice variety of elevation.

The course was in good shape and the greens were smooth and fast. Pace of play was slow which is the only thing I can say negative.

The restaurant had a nice variety on the menu and the food was good. We will be coming back.

The course continues to get better and better each time. I play it, tea boxes used to be a sandpit, they are in much better shape, the greens were in great shape, and the fairways are definitely getting a lot thicker. Looking forward to the next time I play.

Nice community golf course that needs some attention. Greens and chipping ares very nice, bunkers average / hard packed, fairways spotty, tees OK. Nice layout with a few blind shots and a few holes that can play quite long if you don't use the angles of the doglegs. Overall a play.

Great track!

The place is way out there it feels like but once you’re there it’s really good. Course was long, fast and firm. Plenty of challenging looks. They need more crew guys, it’s certainly more course and amenities than they can keep up with currently so don’t expect pristine but the bones are there. Last significant rain was almost a week ago and they haven’t tended to the washout or pudding in the bunkers, at least not all of them. The grass is fine, tees and all that looked good. A few more weeks of hot weather and it’ll be as good as any. For 25$ riding, gps cart, it was a steal. I’ll get back there soon.

Could be a great course

Excellent layout with great sight lines and beautiful pine tree lined holes. Challenging but fair. Neighborhood houses were tucked back and not crowding the course. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in good condition however, the bunkers were in Terrible shape.

They were all washed out, full of water, and a few were overgrown with grass. The greens were smooth and the putts rolled very true. My guess would be 9 or 10 on the stimpmeter.

Carts had touch-screen gps which made club selection and pace-of-play much easier. The facilities were decent but showing signs of aging. For example: the cart paths were bumpy and uneven in some places and the shower was unusable. You could tell this was once a top tier course.

Overall it was a good experience. Great value for the money. We paid $43. For that price, I would definitely return and recommend it.
