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.

Great Round

Best value around. Course was in great shape for a Dec round. First time playing this track, enjoyed the layout, staff was great, fully loaded carts with GPS and even Bluetooth for tunes. Great variation in the tee boxes to accommodate all levels.Only downside, there was a twosome in front of us playing a practice (multiple shots from each locaton) would have been nice for the ranger to keep them moving. Overall definitely recommended

Excellent golf course/facility!

Terrific golf course and facility. Very friendly staff , well-stocked pro shop and bar. Truly loved the overall experience over the holiday!

Carts have electronic scoring gadget w/gps. Makes life easier.

From the sub-tips , it plays in the range of 6600y. Favors good distances off the tee. Undulating fairways but very well kept and free of leaves. Excellent test of golf, will require hitting every club in the bag. This is a beautiful golf course!

Great course, better staff

Course is kept in great condition. The course is lucky to have this staff. The head pro Will is the absolute best. He went above and beyond for just a normal tee time. He has great knowledge of the course, even fitted me for a driver for free. If this course were in a vacation area it would a must play. Davis Love design. Greens are always top notch. Best bang for your buck in the area.

I will be back!

Exceptional layout, marvelously kept, felt like quite a little secret my father and I stumbled upon. We tipped it out, so far all the Love III courses Ive played have proven to be up to my desires as a lover of length. All the par 3’s played over 200, 3 of the 5’s were unreachable for myself (capable of a 265 carry from off the turf)

Dynamite green complexes, great sight lines, well architected courses really do set themselves apart when you get the chance to compare apples to apples.

We will certainly be back!

Awesome experience, must play here!

First time playing here at ACC and what a beautiful course. Was definitely worth the rate I paid to play and looking forward to playing here again. Course conditions were excellent and we didn’t have anyone rushing or holding us up. Super impressed with this experience.

Spend Your Money Elsewhere

Fairways bare dirt & muddy. Ranger on hole 2 . Had to wait to play because he was practicing his chipping. Get behind a mom with a young boy playing TWO balls while we wait behind them on a SATURDAY. No urgency. Make the turn. Mom & kids gone. What do we find?? The clubhouse letting people go off the back. Pace of play AWFUL!! Call clubhouse & ask do you let people start on the back"SOMETIMES". Never going back!!

Holy Bunkers

I really enjoyed Anderson Creek! The course layout was great and who ever designed it loves some deep bunkers! While I only managed to hit one my playing partner was at the beach all day! I will definitely be playing there again!
