We have played here many times over the last 25 years or so. They rate themselves as a 4 1/2 star golf course. That is definitely far from true. Tee boxes and greens need to be rebuilt. Dead patches and many, many ball marks on greens. I suspect the greens are in such bad shape that aerating isn't going to help. Cart paths are horrible......like so many asphalt paths on courses with pine tree roots ruining the paths. All of these things suggest the course is not doing well financially. Several years ago, they built a really nice clubhouse with many rental condos attached on both sides. They promote 'golf packages' but what a disappointment it must be for someone coming there for the first time only to find the golf course in such poor condition. They might return because of accommodations, but not for the golf.

Played here on a cool Saturday in February, on our annual retreat from winter up north. Cost us $25. Course is very nice, and the fairways were gtreen, even at this time of year. Greens had been aerated, rolled and sanded, so they were not at all representative of in-season conditions. Greens are generally pretty large, have some undulations, but not severely so. Fairways are pretty wide and receptive, except for a few fairly tight (and short) ones. This is a course you can score on, first time out. Plenty of bunkers, and the few I hit were not in great shape: I fond the sand to be very coarse and rough. Overall, nothing too tricky, just decent golf. Clubhouse/bar is very nice, with an accommodating staff. Pro shop is well stocked with merchandise, and the check-in process was very nicely handled. I recommend!

Has in-cart GPS system which makes the experience of playing the course, particularly for the first time, very positive.

Lots of blind shots - you'll score much better the 3rd or 4th time you play it. Clubhouse and accomodations excellent. Was part of a large group who stayed here for 3 days. Everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful, from front desk people to wait staff to pro shop staff. I'd come back again.

The front nine is wide open, with some water that will come into play. But the back nine is more challenging and makes you think about your shot. Forced carries and some water makes this a great course. Wide fairways and great greens make this a must play when visiting the Sandhills area.
