Anderson Creek Club

I have played here before and enjoy the golf course. Not easy, but not overly challenging either. First the price. I snagged and $40 "Hot Deal" from Golf Now, so a $75 greens fee was almost half. Next, pace of play, we were able to get our ahead of our tee time and had nobody come up on us until late. One of the players in my group shot 126, so we were not particularly fast. (I might have picked an easier course had I known he was going to shoot this high, but oh well. Point is, this is not a course for beginners.)

I found the course conditions to be very good, with one exceptions. There are bunkers everywhere and the condition of the bunkers is not good. I'm not sure if it was just from recent rain, or if there is the need for more sand in the bunkers. I am thinking the latter, This is an issue, as the course is really a target course, meaning there are not many wide open holes that you can be short and run up onto the greens. Mostly need to carry to the green or lay up. I did the latter and managed to avoid the bunkers for the most part, but the ones I hit into were tough outs due both to high lips and thin sand.

Greens were pretty good. A little bumpy in spots, but likely from summer aeration. There is some undulation, so the putts have some challenge to them. The first round that I can remember with no three putts, so hard for me to complain about the greens. There is a wide area of fringe, so shots that just miss the greens are easily puttable.

Overall, a really fun day. I will definitely play here again. It is very common to see Hot Deals in late morning times, so snagging one of those would not disappoint.

First time playing at Anderson creek overall great experience the staff was nice and the course was phenomenal.

The course has a lot of potential. Greens are challenging and in good shape. The bunkers are just dirt holes without any care.

This course has a great layout and very challenging unrelated greens. However, the greens were in terrible shape and the course itself is pretty rough. Lots of bare spots plus looks like the grass hasn’t been cut in a while on the exterior of the fairways. Not somewhere I would play again.

Started a multi-day golf road trip from here so I couldn't avoid the rain. The course, if dry, would be very challenging from the 5800+ yd tees; but today it was almost impossible to get over the forced carries. I had all the wet gear on but still chose to play from the most forward tees just to get a handle of what DL-III setup for the members and public to save for my next round here.

This is a really fun course to play. Great Fairways and tee boxes. Well positioned bunkers and challenging greens. This was the 2nd time I've played here and everyone in my foursome commented on the quality of the course.

Only knock was on the wear on the greens, but attribute that to the rough weather we've had since I played 3 weeks earlier. Then the greens were great. This time they were heavy and had a bit of rough patches.

Let me say this first: I gladly drove the hour to Anderson Creek because it has always been one of my favorite places to play. And it will remain as such...just was bad timing for the Course and my Tee Time.

Periods of heavy rains just prior to the day I played, combined with a well-noted period of extreme drought conditions spanning weeks prior to the heavy rains, combined with what seemed to be a recent punching of the greens, brought about my "Average" Course Conditions rating. I know that the grounds crew can only do with what they are dealt weather wise.

Greens conditions definitely cost me a number of strokes, as many of the aerification holes were not (no longer) filled with sand, so they were very bumpy.

Fairways were in good shape considering the recent drought. Tees were more than fine. Bunkers were inconsistent, but again- the area had very hard rains just days before. Restrooms were open on the course and stocked. The beverage cart made numerous passes throughout the round.

Guy in the Pro Shop was overwhelmingly welcoming. The new carts are top notch. And the range was well appointed.

Our foursome played in under four hours...on a Sunday... I will take that every time!

5 classmates from SC met here to start our golf weekend!! Staff was friendly and course was in great condition. We played 9 as we all had travelled in the morning. We had a blast afterwards since it was karaoke Friday at the clubhouse.

Decided on Monday I wanted to try to play Tuesday. Snagged a "Hot Deal" via Golf Now. I got to the golf course early. The guy in the pro shop asked if I was ready and, if so, I could go right to the first tee. The started stopped my, but then let me go off alone an hour ahead of my tee time. Had the course more or less to myself and did not catch the group ahead until #15. Course is in good shape. Some fun holes. Not really hard, but certainly not easy. Greens ran true and hit some decent putts. Played from the Gray (senior) tees, which are nearly 6,000 yards, so not picnic. My neighborhood group has played here and will try again. Overall great experience, particularly given the great price I got. Somewhat of a drive from the Raleigh area, but worth the drive.

Relaxing. Why? During the week, I have experienced no delays or slow play. We turned 18 in a little over 3 1/2 hours. Challenging. If you are out of the fairway, you will pay the price.

The course was in good shape for these current drought conditions. They were watering mid afternoon, keeping the greens in nice condition.

I would play this course more often if it weren’t a hour away. Great bar and restaurant area with good food and beverage specials. I highly recommend this course and the facilities. .

Nice course, in good shape. Good clubhouse bar and ok selection of drinks available through the beverage cart attendant.

Really enjoyed this course a few holes you have to shape your shot to score well. Great value

This is a good layout and I have been here several times in the past, but this visit the course conditions were a little rough. Fairways need some TLC, greens are pretty good and pretty firm and fast. Tee boxes are good. Staff is great and value is worth it. They need some rain bad. I hope they get some grass growing a little thicker on those fairways.

Always enjoy it here. Course is in good shape, the people are friendly, and the price is very reasonable. With that combination, why wouldn't you play here?
