King's Grant Golf & Country Club

I hate to say it but this is a course that has been let go. I played it last year and when I got back to it this year it was an even worse condition. While the course itself is scenic and the holes offer a challenge the conditions were just unacceptable. Too many patches of dirt on the greens to be a quality course, Definitely need tender loving care everywhere. Car pads falling apart and overgrowth everywhere you look. Hopefully the owners will recognize that they have a gym in the rough and can with it.

This is a great course for the value. The fair ways are in great shape. The greens are decent but fairly bumpy and usually play slow. The staff their is great. You may be apprehensive when first entering but the course is much nicer that the entrance to the facility.

I use to love this golf but lately is looking bad like they stop taking care of it the deal at golf now is good but right now is just a course

Course has declined rapidly. Greens are the worst in Cumberland county, fairways are thin and bare. The holes have all been renumbered recently, so for those that haven't played in a while #1 is now the old #14. Don't waste your money, other courses in area much better.

Great course for the money staff is awesome course in good shape even the greens ok after being aerated probably recently. Got behind three slow players that wouldn't let our twosome go through but you could tell they were new golfers and didn't know etiquette. At least we only had four holes behind them to finish our round. We are definitely going to play here more often.

I paid for Golfnow and it was $20 which was great. The course was soggy which all reviews said it would be. The fairways were nice and greens were in good shape but pretty slow. The course was tight and seemed to be made for pretty short hitting golfers. I hit 3 iron on most par 5s and still reached in 2. Pace of play was very fast. Clubhouse is pretty poor and outdated. Head pro was ok. All in all the course was fun. I would play it again. If you can drive it more than 250 then play from the back tees otherwise you will get bored.

I actually came here to play a round for my birthday. Staff was extremely friendly. The course layout created some challenges and made for an overall good round. I'm up for another round here and will probably get back a few more times this season. I ended up playing alone and since it was my 1st time on the course, was unaware of some hazards involved...just play with someone that's played here before and you should be set.

The greens and fairways are nice but whoever designed it didn't have enough room.
You're forced to hit 3 irons off the tee of most of the par 5s from the back
Tees. I call that Mickey mouse golf. I think I hit driver 4
Times the whole day. Nice views of nature and a nice course but I wouldn't play it again.

The course was in great condition. Greens were in good condition and the over seeded fairways and tees was nice.

Keep your ball in the fairway and this will be an enjoyable round. Fairways are firm, greens are small.

The course was in fair shape from tee through the fairways with some patchy bald spots here and there. The greens where great. Fast and the ball would roll true with no bounces. Bring your on water in the summer because water coolers are allowed to run dry in afternoons.

Let me start with the good: housing community was very nice, but the course leaves something to be desired. Tiny 1 way damaged asphalt entrance led to what seems like a modular type home. Check in was very pleasant and the staff seems to be real nice. There was no one to monitor the start times and it was extremely backed up. Members are very rude and snooty. Overall layout was challenging at times. The overall condition of the course left something to be desired. Even though it had not rained in over a week, there was a tremendous amount of water / mud everywhere, which I contribute to poor drainage. The greens were even worse and not very well maintained at all. Bare spots, small trenches made for some wild putting. From what I have heard, their head greens keeper left to go to another course. It may be an indication of how the company runs the course. The course has some potential, but there are way to many courses within 30 minutes of here for anyone to want to play this one. Do yourselves a favor, visit Anderson Creek, Bayonet, or any of the Moore County courses. It will be a much better experience.

This course has a very fun layout. Tee shots are critical. Greens were kind of beat up, sandy and very soft and extremely slow (very long grass). Fairway was good and the rough was thick. I enjoy the course as it was my second time, I just want the greens to be better. Good bang for the buck as we played it for $15.

I love Kings Grant. They were doing some maintenance on the greens so they weren't te best, but this is a great course to have an enjoyable round.

The course needs a tremendous amount of work. The entrance alone makes you wonder if you are even going to make it to the club house without needing to get a front end alignment. Maybe Fort Bragg is using the entrance as a bombing area. Bad. With this type of first impression and getting to play only 6 holes before the skies opened can't remember the course for the first six holes.

Employees were all great with a good attitude. Our twosome was matched with a veteran of the course who proved to be invaluable. Tall grass just off fairways made it possible to lose your ball within 5 feet of it. A couple greens had obviously been treated for disease, but other than them, the course was very nice and greens well kept.

The first impression is always most important. There is a stunning entrance to the King's Grant residential area from Ramsey Street, however, there is a small unassuming driveway from Shawcroft Road to the Clubhouse, it appears to be an asphalt cart path, one car wide, one direction traffic. Aside from a small sign at the entrance you will not know you have taken a proper turn as the course and clubhouse are hidden from view for about a hundred yards. The drive soon turns to gravel/pavement mix for an additional hundred yards and more doubt begins to set upon the first time visitor.
Arriving one hour prior to my ten o'clock tee time I found the "clubhouse/snack bar" a bit under par for a "Country Club" setting but adequate. The young lady in charge appeared to have only opened the clubhouse for me, as though I were the first player to arrive for the day. She was very helpful and had a good attitude and pleasant smile.
The driving range was a disappointment, nothing like the one pictured above; the range had not been mowed in several days and the tee box was in shambles (I spent several minutes picking up ball baskets in order to have a half decent place to hit). The range ball dispenser worked fine but the balls were several years old and had not been culled in some time.
I played on a Tuesday after a rainy weekend and had a bit of luck on the first tee as I paired with a couple of fine fellows who are members of the KGG&CC. We played all eighteen holes (how can you not play nine when playing 18?) and I was glad to have a helping hand with directions, hazards and places to avoid.
The course was in fine shape and more scenic than I had expected. There are some very fine views of low country waterways as there are several creeks which feed the Cape Fear River. (I saw a beaver, or may have been a muskrat never saw the tail, making his way home swimming up a creek to one of the ponds.)
The fairways are ample in width and the ball sits nicely. The tee boxes for the most part were very nice and the greens rolled well but slow, about a 7 on the stimp meter the day I played. I like this course, it has character, some elevation changes, a few forced carries and can be walked quite easily.
I was informed the course is owned by the Methodist University but they lease it out; the lessors have recently changed hands so I am hopeful there will be improvements in the near future. Improvements come at a cost so I see a rate hike off in the distance.
Oh, the ugly; along the wetlands in several places I noticed trash, beer cartons and empty bottles and cans. I suppose being a semi public course in close proximity to a university, some apartment houses and condos has a bearing upon the 'decor' as provided by the occasional passer-by.
The current weekday rate as published is $30.00 and 36$ on the weekend. When you find a Golf Now rate that entices you take it and "GO PLAY"; this is a course you should give a try; I will give it a second chance in the near future.
A special "thank you" to Stanley and Ed who were my guides through a lovey day at King's Grant Golf and Country Club.

Good course. Could use some work on the greens but good day.

I have played this course twice and both times it was a good experience. Course was in good shape, greens had been plugged recently, that's always a little unfortunate but also has to be done. Fun layout and good challenges with strategically water and bunkers. Make sure you play the blues or black on #14. I will definitely play again, can't ask for much more out a
Of a $30 course.

The course was in good condition, the greens appeared to have been rolled recently so some of the pin positions were interesting. I breezed through the first eight holes until I caught up with the tail end of a group playing on # nine. My quick round came to an end after that, I could see another foursome ahead of the group I was behind so playing through probably wasn't an option. The course has a few holes that don't set up well for me, being a lefty and not able to draw the ball. I'll be back out there in the coming months...
