The course is okay

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The course is challenging and being never played there before it would’ve been nice to have staff explain a couple of holes. Like one hole completely blind not knowing where to hit and being cart path hole. GPS would’ve been nice and carts were loud because they are gas. Probably won’t play again because we were visiting the area.

NC golf vacation

The layout of the course is the biggest negative especially if you have never golfed there before. A lot of fairways back and forth. This meant there were many times when someone from a different fairway hitting balls on the fairway you were on. A few holes on the back 9 had blind greens and were CPO (no GPS) making it hard to tell which way to hit the ball from the tee.

The msn that checked us in was super friendly. Pace of play was great too.

Great place to play and reasonably priced. I have played there for 40 years off and on. The course has been worked on over the years but is in good.

awful pace of play

terrible course management, pace of play was terrible. took close to 3hr to get through front 9. waited about 20 min waiting on each tee box, 3-4 groups clogged up at each tee. wont allow people to start from back 9 despite clearly overbooking course. asked for a rain check at 9 bc pace was so awful, promptly rejected. wont be back.

Good shot maker course

It’s inexpensive and it’s not pretending to be a first class course. There’s interesting laid out holes which require shaping your shot. Great course to work on your ball striking as it is not long

Course is in good location. Course was in good condition and played well. Very nice people in clubhouse. I thought the cost/value was good.

I liked everything about this course, except the fact that hole 14 and 16 are practically unplayable. They are shorter holes that require blind shots into greens. I was all into playing this course until I came to those two holes. That was the biggest disappointment of the whole experience.

Greens are in great shape, very fast though. Some flood damage on hole 12, but working quickly to get it repaired.

Great course, some tricky shots with elevation changes.

Could use some maintenance on cart paths due to roots breaking up the pavement.

Will play here often.

Fun short course

The course is short with some unique holes. It’s reasonably priced and not overly difficult.
