Very average

A nice challenging layout with visually appealing holes. Fairways were very thin for this time of year. Collars around greens were almost dead. Greens discolored in patches withvwhat looked like dead bent grass. This could be a really nice course but superintendent needs to up his game and get grass to grow.

Good layout. Greens were still recovering from being punched. Fairways still thin. Course has lots of potential.

Friday Golf at Anderson Creek Golf Course

Excellent course. Played here again after having played here soon after it opened several years ago. Very well maintained course indeed.

Challenging and picturesque course well maintained. Very courteous staff indeed.!

We were told ahead of the round that the greens were aerated, however, this factor did not affect our play. We simply enjoyed the course as it was a great sunny day !

Would revisit this course again and highly recommend it

Great course but current conditions are

I love this course. The layout and the staff are great but today the conditions were a but iffy. Admittedly, it is still early April, but the tee boxes are bad and the fairways are "fair" at best. My guess is that it will be terrific again by the end of this month.

Great warmup for Pinehurst area courses

Designed by Davis Love III, Anderson Creek sits on a beautiful piece of property, meaning the course has a number of picturesque holes. It's also as difficult a course as you want to make it, depending on the tee selection. Besides the rolling topography, greens complexes are probably the most interesting part of the course with plenty of undulation and interesting pin placements.

Tight fairways, quick greens

Anderson Creek has a very tricky front 9, the greens are big. Although they were just treated the ball was rolling fairly decent. I really like the course when I can control my driver! I typically am a 3 or 4 handicap, but this course beat me down with the long par 3s and complex lay out

Meodicre Sandhills option

Course in shoddy shape, I give it a C-. Greens slow and poorly maintained. Tboxes were good, fairways ok but show years of neglect in many areas. Bunkers were fair they had been raked. The layout is great, in my mind their biggest asset. Staff was friendly and the service and food in the grill were good. I won't make the trip again until I hear conditions are improved, their are better options in the area with higher QPR.

Walked

Post Downpour Round

Played this course on a Friday after heavy morning rain, so instead of playing cart path only they let us walk. The ProShop guys are very accommodating and gave us a great rate considering the weather. Biggest downside was seeing how poorly the bunkers drain on this course. The layout is phenomenal and a true championship course with extremely challenging bent grass greens that undulate dramatically. It appears that after Davis Love III gave up management of the course the upkeep has struggled. You can see this course is in dire need of a cash infusion to renovate. I recommend getting out and playing it very soon before its no longer enjoyable. With good weather and in the summer it is a great course to play, especially if you want to test your skills as a low handicapper.

Course was in good shape overall. Greens were fast and steady but fairways were not in the best shape. Given that it is burnish, not surprising at this time of year. Shop folks were friendly and helpful. Overall, good experience and will be back.

No longer a hidden gem

I played this course in a tournament and was really looking forward to it. When I got to the community entrance and seen the guard that had to let me in and the beautiful houses, I thought for sure this would have to be a well maintained course...boy was I wrong about that. The fairways were completely dead and it was just like hitting of dirt that was hard as a rock, the greens were in decent shape if you can miss all the unfepaired ball marks. Another thing that is terrible about the layout is the fact the houses are literally right off the cart path, this place is riddle with white stakes and if you aren't very accurate off the tee, you will have a miserable time here. I told myself after playing this course that I will never play it again, unless they start maintaining it better.

Not what I thought

I recently played this Davis Love designed course for a tournament and let me tell you, it was not what I expected at all. I arrived at the gated community and thought this place has got to be nice looking at all the gorgeous houses and security guard at the main entrance. Once I got on the course the fairways were dead and brown, it really felt like you hitting off of dirt as there really wasn't much grass at all. This course demands that you hit your drives straight, it is riddled with houses and the white stakes that line the course near those houses seem to be right off of the cart path. This gives you no room to miss at all. The greens were pretty decent minus the fact that no one seems to ever repair their ball marks. All in all I will say that I will not be back to play this course anytime soon, I have better playing conditions at my local municipal golf course for half the price.
