Greens are coming around

I have played here several times. They have some firm greens which are still coming in from the rebuild a couple years or so ago. Used to be like concrete but they will hold an approach shot now. They have them rolling at a great speed and as they have always, they roll very true. I used to not be the biggest fan of all the levels and mounds on the new greens. They were so fast that you couldn’t put downhill for it almost rolling off the green. They have put a lot of time and effort into the course. Only grip I have is with so much rain the fairway grass still hasn’t come in good yet. Not the courses fault. Staff has always been one of the friendliest in the area. I will definitely be calling the pro shop to book some rounds this year. If they don’t go up again any time soon it will be great. So many have gone up so high it’s almost crazy to spend that much for 18 holes. See you guys again soon. If you haven’t played here then you are missing out

Sloooooooow

I have come to expect at least 5.5 hours to play a round here. Frost delay set us back 30 minutes but not sure why everyone went off 1. The cart kept telling us to keep up pace of play but you can’t with 3-4 groups on every hole. To beat it all, a guy decides to hit before we get in our cart and about nailed one of us. He was a player who played their a lot, not sure if a member but was walking with 2 riders. Why be is such a rush when we can’t go anywhere! Having someone ride around and keep pace of play or a starter would be great. All in all it’s a fun place to play. Staff is friendly 90% of the time. Price is great long as they don’t jack it up like others in the area. If closer I’d join just because it’s not gonna break the bank and most the people don’t act like they don’t want you there. Greens were in excellent shape for the season even better than expected. Give them a try if you haven’t already. Just don’t go wanting to get in a quick round. Normally a slower pace golf course.

First Time Playing

Beauty

Our first time playing and it did not let us down. Most of the par 5’s were not reachable in two. Unless you really have a long ball, in the conditions we played in anyways.I hit it fairly long but only 18 was there a chance to make it with driver, 3 wood. Lots of rain but the course wasn’t so bad you couldn’t play. Seems to not hold water like some courses. The lay out was one of the best I have played. Dog legs on some tee boxes took driver out of play. Only thing, some of the pins where near impossible if you got above the hole. Greens so fast you would start with 2.5 feet and after tapping the ball it be 15 feet past. I like fast greens but boy the front pins got me most every time. I can’t say enough about the staff. They were supper friendly and the clubhouse was second to none. Couldn’t order from the gps screen I guess maybe the grill was closed but they had premade sandwiches and a great variety of drinks and beer. The range was pretty big with mats to hit off of. Also they had 2 practice putting greens. I will be back even with the hour 20 minute drive.

Nice little gem

Been playing golf for over 20 years but haven’t been to many courses in the Greensboro area. I have heard about this place from a friend and been wanting to try it. Finally got someone to go play and we enjoyed it. They were some pretty slow players in front of us that slowed us down and had it backed up most of the round.

The greens rolled near perfect. Similar to Pilot Knob but no where near as firm. The lay out was not so tight it would make misses over punishing. Back 9 the last few holes where on top each other so need to be alert for balls that may get hit off line.

The staff was super friendly and the starter was a super great guy. This will not be our last round of golf here. One of the better municipal courses I have played.

Super friendly staff

Staff is super friendly. They do have a marshall/starter and he is a super nice guy as well. Keeps everyone on time with their tee time. The greens are so firm it makes it tough. Some of the truest rolling greens I have played but they are just so fast for the undulations. Some very steep slopes on them. Fairly new so maybe when they grow in some they will be even better. Lay out is one of the best and the view is immaculate here in the fall especially. The food and drinks are priced well and want break you up if you want to grab a hotdog and some drinks at the turn. Give it a try if you have not already. You will enjoy your round.

Extra firm greens fairly tough course

I live with in 20 minutes of the course so I have played it a few times. They have changed the greens in the last couple years and they are very firm. Looked to have traces of sand so hasn’t been to long since they were done. Still the ball rolled really true. It’s not a very forgiving course so don’t miss the greens on the wrong places. Some greens have stupid slope on them but very playable. The layout is one of the best and I swung every club in the bag. Only bad thing with the place and it may just be bad luck for me. I have a chunk out of my sm9 from off the edge of the fairway. 6 iron also took a small place but nothing to worry with. I purchased a new set of 919HM back in 2020 and used them for first time at this course and hit a rock on 18 middle of face from middle of fairway. Hitting balls off the ground it’s going to eventually happen. Overall we enjoyed our round and played 9 more holes. One advice I’d give is don’t use lob wedge around the greens and carry the ball to the hole. You can’t enough check to get it to stop within 10 feet. A few more rounds and I’m sure we could get use to the greens. A must play course if you are in the area.

Sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

This had to be the slowest round of golf ever recorded in the history of golf! There is absolutely zero excuse for letting it go on. You have gps carts so you know how long a round is going. We got pairs with another guy so had 5 in our group. Not a big deal because we had to wait 5-10 mins on every shot. At one point on hole 3-4 we had 5 groups bunched up. Mowers everywhere on tee boxes and around. They were not in the way much for the slow play. It was a tournament going on and a small one. Seemed like for a good cause but you can’t let them slow play down that much. I grabbed a burger at the turn and it was almost red not pink. Just threw it in the trash for slowing up or loosing our spot. Some guys had jumped off 6 trying to skip to 10 in front of us but we told them no way. These things will kill your business. I love the layout and may be back this year. But this leaves bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

Very challenging but fair course

We enjoyed our day playing Cedarbrook. At times it gets a bit slow because so many in a group. We had 5 walking in front of us and had to wait a little on the tee but not to bad. The 5 were good golfers so not as bad as could have been. Greens are undulating so ball placement is a big plus. My group didn’t make a ton of putts but 3 birdies were made. Layout of the course is tough but very fair. It rewards good shots. Just put approach shots on right tier or closest to pin as possible. Staff was very friendly and we enjoyed some great food at the turn. We ordered it from the screen on the cart with ease. We will be back for sure.

Great course

As always, we enjoyed our round. The staff is always very friendly. Greens are in great shape for December and never have a straight putt. This is probably one of the main defenses of the course. Hit it close and have less putts for sure. The only bad thing I can say is pace of play. Tee times are hard to time this time of year so most people try teeing off around noon. Warmest time to play and get done before dark. It wasn’t the groups with 5-6 that held us up. It’s the slow play from groups of 4. They sent one guy to the clubhouse on 9 so we couldn’t jump ahead. It was about 2.5 - 2:45 minutes for 9 holes. I’ve played here several times and just play the front twice because of slow play. If they can some how speed up play, I’d give 5 stars across everything. Love the course and the staff. If you haven’t played then you need to do so. I’d bet you will return to play again.

Awesome staff

We played this course 3 times this year. Every time the wind has blown very hard. I’d love to play it under normal conditions. The greens don’t hold so you need to play short and expect the ball to run. I always get spin with my sm9 58 but not on these greens. They do roll very true! I love the challenge and still usually shoot my hc (9). The staff is always very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Love the course and will definitely be back again.

Beauty

First and foremost, the staff has to be the friendliest I ever met. The view from the clubhouse 2nd to none. The course was in excellent shape. You have to look at the grain when putting or it will leave you dumbfounded. They where firm and fast but rolled true. The rough was thick and fairways quiet narrow. Greens where small but not too small. It was wide open but miss the fairway and it was challenging to get out the rough. It’s definitely a must play. Only bag thing is it took just over 5 hours for the round. I didn’t care because the course was just that fun. Maybe they can get the pace of play a little better.

A good course to test your skill

The course has always been one of my harder ones. The lay out is very fair and rewarding for good shots. You will use all your clubs. Greens are not in best condition but not terrible. Some pins are always in same place. Guessing the amount of slope in greens there isn’t much option. Staff were very friendly and I will be going back.

Challenging

The course is very challenging especially with as much wind as we had. I got their an hour before my tee time amd used the range, putting and chipping greens. The putting green is mostly on a slope. Range was great but 7 bucks for a medium bucket to warm up was a tad high. Some greens had false fronts and with the wind it made it much more difficult. Greens wh where great for the time of year. A couple had what seemed to be a different type of grass which was faster than others. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall we enjoyed our day of golf and I'd recommend it as a must play for area courses.

Firm greens

Beautiful course and a decent layout. Couldn’t get a ball to hold the firm greens so was playing tough with all the wind especially. They redone all the greens and they were in excellent shape. Still shot at my hc so was happy. Some holes if you missed the fairway and in the trees, be sure you watch for rocks. Some areas were pretty bad so was being careful. All in all we enjoyed our time. It’s a must play if you haven’t played it. We will definitely be back again.

5 hour round

We had a 3 some and started at 11:35. We walked off of 18 at 4:30. I expected to wait some being we only had 3. But taking our time we had to wait for ever to hit ever shot. They really need to have someone to keep pace of play going faster. The greens where extremely fast but rolled truer than most other courses. The fairways we in excellent condition especially considering all the rain we have had lately. But again the pace of play. Last time I stopped after 9 holes because of it. The guy at the pro shop that day said they were finishing up with a tournament and some of the guys where struggling with the speed of the greens and had to putt out. This was the excuse for the slow pace that day. I enjoyed playing but with the time it has taken to play the last couple times, it will make it hard for me to go back any time soon.

Best course in the area

The course has a great layout and the greens roll very true and are a little quick. If you hit a good shot you will be rewarded. Before you start your round you have a nice size putting and chipping green beside of the first tee. You also have a driving range to warm up before you start. The staff is always very friendly. You want find a better place to enjoy your day of golf than Cross Creek. If you haven't played it yet then your definitely missing out.

Awesome layout

The greens are rolling true and quick. It's my home course but it is one of my favorite layouts. The bunkers are always in great shape along with everything else. You need to try this course if given the chance. It's a little pricey at 45 a round but it's a must play course.

Challenging

Course was in great shape even after all the rain the past few days. It was packed so we ended up playing 9 with a member. Very enjoyable round. The second nine was a bit slow for the walkers not letting us through. It was well worth the hot deal amount of 19.50. But golfnow keeps going up with fees and tee times. Im starting to book from other sites because of this.

Tough course with plenty of bunkers and water. For the more skilled player

The course is layed out nice with true roller fairly soft greens. Very challenging. Only draw back is you can't have a cooler. Will play again soon.
