This is a wonderful average length course that meanders through the rolling hills of North Carolina in the Smithfield area. Right off Holt Lake this is both an astetically pleasing and challenging golf course where most everything breaks towards the lake. Lots of challenging holes that dogleg left and right with lots of slope right or left. Ponds and wetlands dot this track and the greens are usually fast enough to get your attention. Avid golfers will love the challenge and the average golfer will want at least a six-pack of golf balls while on the course. The course is now open to the public and is a great deal.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
