Very nice variety of holes

Really liked the course layout. With challenging holes as well as scoring opportunities. With a good tee shot. Only knock was greens a little slow. When they speed up it will make for some very interesting putts if on the wrong part of these undulating greens. Will definitely want to play here again.

Sunday Jan 19th

Played Sunday Jan 19th following a lot of rain on Saturday Jan 18th. Course was in very good condition considering the rain and drainage is obviously good. 17th slightly damp but nothing to worry about. Greens and tee boxes in good shape. Fairways and rough fine too. Due to the rain, sand in bunkers quite hard in spots but dried out over the day. Got there an hour before tee time to practice on range but range was closed again due to the rain the day before. Completely understandable. They let us tee off early so we didn’t have to wait around. Overall an extremely good experience and good to know for future that this course takes the rain well.

Great Track

A great little track with some punishing holes and some pretty benign. Will do it again.

Great layout

Play full back...very difficult but fun to play!

This means great layout.

But still they are using Gas Cart

Their green fee is high so they should change to electronic cart.

Best course in the area

Love playing at Carolina Lakes. Never disappoints, always in great shape. Conserving some tee boxes made some holes difficult. Some played one tee further,

Worth the Drive

Carolina Lakes is a great layout tucked inside Sun City. If you pick the tees that reflect your skill you will enjoy the experience. If you try to play over your head you will be frustrated. I am an18 handicap. I am 67 yrs old. I used to play the white tees. I have, for the last several rounds, moved up to the yellow tees. The difference is that with a good tee shot I can now hit most of the greens in regulation. From the white tees, maybe the par 3’s. The course is in excellent condition.

Awesome layout

First time playing here. Really enjoyed it!! With the exception of a few greens and fairways course is in great condition.

It’s a fun layout with challenging holes but never unfair. wide fairways and large greens make it a fun place to play. Will definitely be back!
