Enjoyable round

A very good layout with great practice facilities. Not as well manicured as it had been the last time I played there. That seems to be the MO of many courses when they are managed as a part of a larger group. Fairways, rough and collars were fuzzy, but there had been considerable rain. Greens were in great shape. Very friendly staff from start to finish.

They are working on it.

After a couple of years trying to find a new owner, they have begun improvements. Always a good challenge, I hope they keep moving forward bringing it back.

Please don't let this golf course die...

What a nice layout, in dire need of attention. Very nice community, beautiful clubhouse, nice looking range (closed due to 7 inches of rain the previous two days), but the course has suffered, either from extremes in 2017 Florida weather, but I don't think you can blame it all on the weather. Courses in our home area step up to overcome adverse weather, but Providence shows more neglect than any of the others we played this week. Each hole looks great and challenging standing on the tee, but sparse grass is evident with even some mostly bare fringes around greens. We would like to play the course again sometime, but giving course conditions a "3" at this time was generous. I can't recommend the course in its current condition.

Providence is well on its way to a full recovery it just takes more time than we like. A new Superintendent is on his way and we are aggressively attacking all areas of concern. The greens are in good shape. Call me and be my guest in a few weeks and see the improvements.

A classic golf course, could use some sprucing up

A classic older course with a storied history, but it could use some TLC. The clubhouse is dated, the length of the grass on the driving range was the perfect height... for practicing shots out of the rough. The greens were in good shape, just much slower than one would expect for Bermuda grass. The pace of play could have been better if we had not caught up with two slow playing 4somes, which doesn't speak well of their pace of play, given we were a senior mixed 4some. Our entire group felt that most holes played longer than the yardages on the scorecard, and the course was dry enough to have 90 degree cart path rules and no mud found on your golf ball, unless you landed in some of the low lying greenside bunkers.

Great track, recent renovations show nicely!

This was the best of the four courses we played this week. A good challenge but fair for all in our mixed 4some. The recent weather woes this year did not show up here. We will play this one again in future trips to the area.

Great course, excellent staff

While many reviewers want to complain about the length of the round, you need to remember it's right outside Disney plus other world recognized theme parks. We were a mixed 4some, teed off on time and played in 4 hours and 20 minutes. Given the weather extremes of 2017 in much of Florida, the course was in fantastic shape. Friendly staff, good food, and NO complaints from our 4some.

TLC needed

A beautiful layout convenient for beach goers that needs some money and TLC put into it. Great views, ok greens, but the fairways are sparse and bare. They added soccer golf to the course, and the flags and tees for that confuse the layout. Maybe fertilizer and punching the fairways would give them more grass for traditional and soccer golf. I've played this course at least 6 times and this was the most disappointing.

Good track, I have seen it in better condition

One of the Sandhills better courses, but not as well maintained as I have seen it in times past. Thin grass on many of the approach areas and wet to boot. Greens were slower than normal, but that is understandable after Spring-like conditions for much of the winter with freezing night time temperatures forecast for the next week. Outside Staff and Starter were very friendly.

There are better courses

I guess they are a dying breed of original Myrtle Beach courses. Clubhouse was more of an ad for "Thee Dollhouse Caddy Club" than a golf shop. While I understand the area was hit by Hurricane Matthew in October, much of the storm debris remained on the sides of the fairways. The marble hole markers are no help, since shrubbery beside them had grown up and most were barely visible. Pace of play was snail's pace. It is a very convenient location, and has been in better condition.

Decent track, still recovering from Hurricane Matthew

Good challenge, but wet. Played long due to wind and wet conditions. Apparently the hurricane hurt the rye grass overseed, because it was very spotty. Staff at desk and snack bar could use a personality lesson or two. Cart attendant was very friendly.

Some of the better conditions for bent greens currently in the area

With the high heat and humidity in the area, I expected extreme burn out on the greens. There were a few spots, but the greens rolled true and our foursome was pleased with the conditions from tee to green. We will return there soon.

Another great golf course ruined by Integrity Golf

The decline is unbelievable. Integrity Golf has not only ruined the greens, but the fairways, roughs, tee boxes. It is not fair to use the pictures here to display this course. This is the 3rd course either currently managed by or was managed until recently by Integrity Golf that has been ruined by them that I have played as an out of town player in 2016. They have a sign at the pro shop trying to blame the weather, but don't buy it. This course has been badly neglected. It is the eyesore of the community.

Someone please step in and help

What a great, challenging layout that is dying from neglect. The fairways that have sparse areas have serious weed problems. Rough areas are mostly weeds and poorly maintained. The greens are reasonable but need some attention as well. I did not expect the elevation changes they have there, in central Florida, but its uniqueness is dying due to neglect. Spray the weeds, feed and punch the Bermuda, and bring this course back to where it could and should be. $15 rounds won't support green grass

Great course and conditions

It was hard to believe it is only a year old. Lush, tee to green. Range had an interesting look but lush as well. Once they get a permanent clubhouse, and these conditions continue, this has 5 star written all over it!

Looks nothing like the pictures provided

Locals told us it used to be a great course, but not getting the attention it needs from the new owners. Bare spots in fairways, larger bare spots in the roughs, and greens were spotty and not very well maintained. It has a nice variety of holes but conditions spoil the round

Worth finding

This course is not in the middle of the beach action of the central North Carolina coast but well worth finding.
A short drive from the beach and the North River community opens up to a great golf layout. Still a work in process as they "tweak" some of the fairway bunkering, the layout is in great shape with lots of challenges. Multiple tee choices allows you to see as much of the course as any golfer could want. I'm sure it will continue to improve as more homesites sell, it is obviously built as a residential golf community. Great clubhouse and amenities to grow into...

What happened?

I last played this course a couple of years after it opened several times and it was a great golf round. Not anymore. The greens for the most part are in good condition, but there is a serious shortage of grass in the fairways and on several tee boxes. If you are looking for a lot of roll out in your ball, no problem, little grass to slow down the ball. I understand Billy Casper Golf Management is looking after the facility and needs to work hard and fast or this course may not make it. Unless you get a real coupon discount, there are too many other better options in the area to play here. Even the range needs serious help. Such a shame

A great classic layout

A very nice course, I would have rated it higher, but the constant rains experienced in the Carolinas since October have taken their toll on a couple of holes particularly #11. I would like to play it again after it drys out. Very friendly staff and convenient to I-95

This course needs help

Chose this course due to the 3.5/5 rating but it is not even close. Thin or little grass in the fairways and on the greens. Golfnow rate was $44, not worth $20. Someone with some capital needs to rescue this course in a hurry. This is a nice and fair layout going to waste

timing is everything

A great classic layout with a PGA Tour heritage. I wish we had not hit it when the greens had been punched less than two weeks before and they had overseeded three days before. Still well maintained, and a challenge to play when you're in your 60's and its cart path only.
