I have golfed in the eastern-central portion of North Carolina for just about a year now and I have never seen such a poorly managed course. How can any course let their members, especially a 5-some, between a tournament is beyond me. I guarentee that the AGT brought more money into this sham of a course than that 5-some did, even after they whined about they missed their tee time. The fairways and greens were pretty good, layout ok, but no drive range at all. All they have is a chipping/sand range, and practice putting green. Management needs to wake up and when you make a committment, give them respect and honor it. Until management changes, I will not golf here again and I would not recommend this course to anyone.

Falling Creek is family-owned and managed and is very reasonably priced. With Bermuda greens, it is tolerant of NC summer heat and drains well. It has a lay-out that is not crowded by houses or other commercial fixtures. The main downside is that there is no driving range, but the course is a good challenge.
