Nice Course - surprising surcharges

Very nice course- Strange no cart amenities rolling through on a Friday before a holiday weekend. Very Strange the additional rider fee ( young son came to watch me play) - Not prefaced on the website or Golf Now app.

Additional Cart fees apply when you check in $12.00) - so you're prepared.

Augusta Like

We felt like we playing Augusta. From the tees the fairways were undulating and lined with white candy bunkers. Green were perfect condition with different elevations. It's a gem.

Enjoyable course

We enjoyed playing the course. The greens were fast and in good shape. A little slow at times as there was lots of groups of two. Glad to see the beer cart out on the course. The golf carts were excellent. Would have liked GPS or a card with outline of the different holes. Friendly helpful staff. We rented clubs, they were just okay not cleaned and fairly expensive. Overall enjoyed the course

$100? Really?

This course is set up for shorter hitters who enjoy well-placed shots. Sand everywhere. But don’t get me wrong. While it sucked we had cart path only, there’s nothing wrong with the course itself. It’s just not what I prefer. The part that was ridiculous was the price for what you get. For $99 on a weekend, I did not expect gas carts from the 90’s and almost no food/beverage options on a Sunday morning. It’s not a bad course. It’s just not very fun. And when you get little other benefit of any kind, $99 is way too much to pay.

The course was great. Challenging, scenic, greens in great shape. But to tee off at 8:40am, with the course starting off of 1 and 10 simultaneously, and being backed up all day waiting on EVERY SINGLE TEE BOX as a 4-some makes the golf much less enjoyable.

Carolina Lakes review

Just relocated from Scottsdale so a bit spoiled when it comes to course conditions. However, this is a beautifully challenging layout which boasts a ton of slopes in fairways, elevated and lowered greens so the challenge is definitely there.

Dormant this time of year (no overseed) so it is very brown at this time. They just aerated greens so a bit bumpy but all in all some very tough green complexes and putt pretty well despite the recent punching.

It's a little spendy compared to other clubs in the area . It is also inside a Del Webb community so you have some play that tends to be on the slower side.

Most recently due to the punching of greens they reduced the green fee for just a window of time around 65.00 currently.

Overall a nice experience. The tees you play are essential for club selection as you will into holes that carrying the ball too far can get you in trouble.

Beautiful course

Recent rains forced cart path only for the entire course which I think was excessive. There were some areas that made sense to keep the carts off, but not the entire course. This slowed play significantly. We got stuck behind a threesome that lined up every put like it was the Masters which didn’t help. They eventually let us (twosome) play through so we were able to complete the round before it got dark. Overall, it is a beautiful course with plenty of challenges and in good shape for February. The greens were in good shape and a bit quick. I do plan to play it again in the spring to see what it’s like in better conditions.
