Good Tune-Up Course

This is a great course to work on some things without much fear of loosing your ball or holding up traffic. The grounds crew are doing a very good job maintaining the greens and fairways. If you're looking for sand or water look elsewhere. The big hitters will not have much use for Driver as it's a fairly short course as well. What the course lacks in length it makes up for in difficult greens. Most of the greens are elevated, tiered, and getting quite fast as we get into the dry season around here.

I do wish there was better marking between tee and greens as I don't usually carry a range finder but otherwise this is a great place to put in a practice round or two.

Diamond in the Rough

Nice little 9 hole course off the beating path. Its not fancy and a little shorter course but fun to play. The greens were in great shape and rolled very good, but they are on the small side. They watered all the greens and tee boxes while I was playing which was good to see. Grass was a little long is some places but still okay for the price. The staff was friendly and instructed me what hole to go to after my first 9 so it didn’t slow play for a single. Played 18 holes in 2:45 minutes. Would like to play again sometime

Hidden gem of a course

Glad I found this 9 hole course. It’s off the beaten path so people not right on top of you pressuring you. Perfect for single play or with a group. Will be my go to for practicing to get better without any pressure.

Winter warm up

Mid week play was relaxing , no stress and no one pushing, it is N.C. winter with dormant fairways and greens. Greens undulating and quick. Tee boxes are rough shape. Women also get a huge break on most holes . Staff friendly and helpful. Peaceful country golf. A good warm up for upcoming spring.

Great practice course if you're in the area

As other reviews state, no sand, no water but mounding around greens and light undulations prevent it being too boring. Maintained well enough. What makes it a great choice is the price. While other places are approaching $70 it's great to still be able to find a place that's pretty decent maintenance for less then $30.

Greens are as good as any other place. It's just the tee boxes, fairways and carts they reduce cost on. My cart still had the previous players card and a couple cigaretette buttons in it so it clearly wasn't washed out. That's OK though, for the price I paid.

Rough and fairway height are just right. Two shots were a little out of whack..approach on 3, tee shot on 8.

Only 9 holes but once again, less then $30 to practice at a decent place is worth it.

Gem of a course

Really a gem. Not a lot of people out early in the morning. Great players, no one rushing anyone. Greens are fantastic. The course is wide open and for any mistakes that are made.

A Fun Place to Tune Up Your Game

On Thursday morning I teed off in the summer heat looking forward to a good practice round. First time on the course and I was greeted promptly and given an overview of the course layout. There are limited markings on the course other than at each tee but the cart paths make it a fairly intuitive course to traverse.

What the course lacks in sand, water, and length, it makes up for in small, bordering on tiny, elevated, and challenging greens. The greens and fairways were lush and well maintained. It appears they are putting in a lot of effort to catch up on some deferred maintenance.

Keep in mind that this course is off the beaten path and the little clubhouse offers few amenities so prepare accordingly.

I'll certainly visit Dogwood Valley again and again now that we have been introduced.
