Dogwood Valley Golf 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

People very friendly just out of the way for some!

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.

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.

Fairways are just ok, although you will get a lot of roll. Local knowledge is helpful as all but a couple tee shots on the par 4's and 4's are blind. This only adds to the challenge. The greens were in great shape and rolled true. Overall I found the course a lot of fun to play. It's only 9 holes so on my second time around I had a little better idea of where I should aim my tee shot. Greens also have some contours and most of them are raised so it's important to hit the green and hopefully hold. The sand traps have all been filled in (no sand anymore).

The owner / staff was very friendly. There are not any amenities in the clubhouse. Just some snacks and soft drinks. Also, the course is way out in the country. There were not many playing on the day I was there and I think that's probably par for the course. If you want somewhere to have a little fun and a course that's not crowded, this is the place. I will definitely play again.

For the most part fairways are generously wide, and difficulty is moderate. This is a good course to walk for the exercise and to work on your ball striking and control. Since there are no longer any sand bunkers (you can see where they used to be and they were formidable) you won’t get any practice hitting out of sand. Fairways are a bit thin on grass coverage but not bad. The greens while in great shape as far as the health of the grass, they are exceedingly slow. Expect a Stimp of about 7. Overall a good value and a great way to just practice your game.
