Not Worth even the hot deals

This is the 2nd time I've played the course in the last two months, and granted it's "winter" time here in NC. That said, both times I've played the course it has been in MISERABLE condition considering they have another 9 holes that they have been "tuning up" for the last 2 months. Both times I had played I might as well have been playing mud golf. The fairways seem to have little drainage whatsoever, and it looked like the rough hadn't been cut in weeks. I legitimately lost a ball today in the "bunkers", which are really just small ponds, because they hadn't been drained or taken care of at all.

The worst part? It hadn't heavily rained for at least a week before I got on the course either time.

The Driving Range is neglected HEAVILY. It's been mat only since ~June and there has been zero effort to repair the grass boxes in front of the mats. Not to mention there have been multiple times I've gone to hit balls on a PERFECT day and the range would be CLOSED unexplainably.

Spend the extra $5-10 per round to play Cummings Cove instead if you're in the area; BY FAR a much better course that is EXTREMELY well taken care of.

Course has drainage issues and slow play

This is the second time we have played here, and waited for a dry spell as it rained last time. The course was still sloshy in many areas, including fairways and over half of the bunkers. We played south then west, south pace of play was good, west was very, very slow - having to wait every single hole for 5-15 minutes. The course is nice, but needs some TLC. The staff is friendly, and I got a reduced rate via Golf Now - and the weather was wonderful! Will go back and try again, as there was some sign that they were working to improve the drainage issues that were on most holes. The cool thing is - you will likely see white squirrels.
