Tot Hill Farm Golf Club

Course is always one of the most fun and unique places to play in the area. Well kept and a good value, but nobody seems to ever monitor groups and pace. Stuck behind a group of 6 all day that appeared to be brand new to golf. No issue with that whatsoever, but had to skip the 10th hole when they still didn’t allow us to play through and nobody broke up the ridiculously large group. Not sure how that’s even permitted, especially on a weekend.

Booked on Golfnow

No indication the greens had been too dressed

Guy said it was 8 days prior upon arrival but most greens had NO grass

And seemed to have been lost

I took pics. Worst greens I’ve ever been on in 30 years

Fairways good, greens good, tee boxes ok. Layout one of a kind. Short but very difficult, not for high handicap players. Took 5 plus hours as the foursome in front all shot over 100. Very hot with no beverage cart in sight but there was water on course although it was hot. Cart paths horrendous and price high. I love this course but for the price the amenities are lacking. Lots of fun if you can play but expect a long thirsty day.

Very nice course. Difficulty level high. Greens in good shape need some work. Sand traps don’t exist. Not much for food or drinks. Need drink carts and need to stay open longer in the snack bar. Layout is awesome of course.

Second time playing… better than I remembered. I took a friend and was hopeful it would be above average. Greens on front seemed faster… slower on back. We left early for the round maybe 10-15 minutes which was good but the round was at least 5:45 long. I was exhausted in the end… shot ok but was excruciatingly long, but cannot blame course and we were keeping up with group in front.

Great course and nice pace of play. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were all in great condition. Look forward to another round on this track.

Amazing combination of basic North Carolina backyard condition as the rough area yet the fairway and greens are top notch. It is distinctly North Carolina. Only course I've ever played where next to the cart path and all the rough area is just like everyone's backyard..bare, rocky, hardpan, small fescue with wild weeds..the kind of cow pasture you don't want to play on. Yet the fairway and greens are as good as an semi-private you'll ever play.

Layout is undeniably unique. Every hole has it own characteristics. Each hole has it own club selection. Almost to the point of "goony" golf in places with I personally absolutely love. Something different to remember a course versus hit hard and straight to have a wedge to the green. This layout is not that. The greens are 3 tier is certain spots. Love it, love it, love it.

With that said I'll never go back. The staff is best left alone. I called yesterday to inquire about pricing and said I am a single player, can play 18 in an hour and half if no one holds me up. Can I come at 5pm? Was told they don't make tee times after 4, Ok...can I just show up and get out there, even if it's just for 9? Reply was I can't put you down and I can't tell you if you can get out there or not. I said I'm coming from an hour and half away and I just need to know before I come am I going to be allowed to play? Was told "Buddy I just make minimal wage here I can't tell you what to do. I'm saying out last tee time is 4pm and if you show up after that I don't know if you'll go out or not".

So from there I booked a hot deal for the next day on Golf Now. Work came in this morning that had to be done so I knew I wouldn't get there in time. I fully understand the course gets nothing off the hot deals so I offered to come later and pay the difference. Same guy as yesterday replied "You have to contact Golf Now and have them cancel and make a completely new reservation with us." I said I don't mind playing just nine because I know hot deals are non cancellable. The guy replied no once again. So when I said ok so it seems since I can't arrive 2 and half hours or so late and play only 9 instead of 18 then I'm just screwed out of what I payed. The guy on the phone immediately started jerking back and said we're not screwing you because you paid Golfnow not us. The only way we're going to change your time is you make a completely new reservation with us. Luckily Golfnow took care of it and I ended up paying the difference.

If I didn't reach such great reviews of the course...and those reviews are accurate it is a tremendous course...I would have not went simply because of the guy making minimal wage in the pro shop that obviously doesn't want to be there. When I showed up at the time I said I would be there there were 5 cars in the parking lot. There was no starter at the bag drop so I didn't even bother checking in. I loaded up my bag on the cart on went to the first hole. I finished my round in an hour and 45 minutes and there were two other cars besides me when I left.

Play the course. Worth the drive if you want a unique experience. Avoid the pro shop guy if you can. I hope he finds a job he's happy at since he doesn't want to be there.

Always a fun time here at the tot

Staff has always been top notch

Every time

Course in nice shape

A good value also

Will return!

Great course and outstanding layout. Definitely a Stranz course with shot placement crucial to having a decent round. Everything was in great shape and we had a great time!

This course is unreal for the price! Beautiful layout, incredibly scenic. The entire course was in very good shape, you can tell the new management is trying to get this course back on the map! I will definitely be back!

Somewhat "tricked up" layout, but it is fair. Lots of stone walls, elevation changes, and creeks. Sometimes hard to figure out where the appropriate tee box is. Greens were great, some beautiful views, and a great value.
