Good course, conditions, friendly staff

Forest Oaks has improved since the last time I played there. Conditions were better. Grass still needs to grow in a bit.

They did an excellent job of ensuring that golfer safety and health are top priority during the Corona Virus outbreak.

I went out by myself and played in 3 hours, great pace of play. The layout has character.

Sergei in the pro shop and Heather at the snack bar are helpful, friendly, and professional.

I would play Forest Oaks again.

Great course, staff, conditions, scenery, and value

The Challenge has become one of my favorite public courses.

The layout, combined with great staff, scenery, and value, combines to make a memorable golf experience.

The staff has done an excellent job of keeping our safety and health concerns during the Covid-19 outbreak a top priority.

Also, I shot one of my best rounds, including a birdie on #15, a great par three!

Come play the Challenge. You will enjoy everything!

Indian Valley never disappoints.

The course layout, scenery, staff (led by Fred Ireland), and value combine to make Indian Valley a great golf experience.

They have done a terrific job during the Corona Virus outbreak to ensure that the golfer's safety and health are a priority.

I have made this course a "must play", even though it is 40 minutes from Greensboro.

Check it out for yourself. You will be glad you did!

The Challenge offers a great course layout, playing conditions, staff, and value.

Everyone on the staff is helpful, friendly, and professional.

They have gone the extra mile during the Corona Virus outbreak to ensure that the golfer's safety and health are top priority.

Playing conditions are outstanding, with some of the best greens in the area.

Value on Golf Now is terrific, better than courses that charge much more for green fees.

Come play the Challenge. It is on my must play list!

Excellent course, staff, facilities, condition, value, and scenery

Indian Valley is a top notch public course facility located in Burlington.

The staff, led by General Manager Fred Ireland, is helpful, friendly, and professional.

Indian Valley did an excellent job with safety measures during the Corona Virus outbreak.
PVC foam in the cup was a good move. Plus, this creates a good pace of play, not having to putt out.

The course is very scenic, especially for this avid outdoor photographer. #10 along the Haw River stands out. Any hole on this layout has its own signature.

My wife enjoyed riding with me on the first nine.

Fred is an asset to Indian Valley. He is the reason I will make this a regular course.

One "challenge" with a fellow golfer was handled discreetly and professionally by Fred.

Put Indian Valley on your top public golf facilities in North Carolina!

Thank you..

Excellent greens, friendly staff, great value & pace of play

Blair Park's staff, including Assistant Pro Chip, are always friendly, helpful, and professional.

Course Conditions were excellent-tees and greens very nice. The greens were the best since I've been playing Blair Park. Course was muddy due to a lot of rain this winter. Cart paths only, as most local courses have been. But overall conditions were terrific.

Great value at $20 total on Golf Now. I would highly recommend Blair Park for value, scenery, challenge, conditions, staff, and overall excellent golf experience.

Nice pro shop too with good prices. Will have to check out the shirts at a later date.

Great touch is the yardage book. Get one to navigate the challenges of Blair Park. It is very helpful for placement, especially for a shorter hitter-ME!

I thoroughly enjoyed my round yesterday at Blair Park!

muddy conditions, bumpy greens, friendly staff, slow play, Golf Now overbooked course

Always do the good news first.

Staff is always friendly.

Great value, with my $10 Golf Now certificate bringing 18 hole green fee to $12.
I arrived at 12:00 p.m. for my 12:08 p.m. tee time and was told by pro shop staff that the course was overbooked with Golf Now tee times.

Warmed up on putting green. Asked ranger if I could tee off since a foursome was down the fairway approaching the green. He said no. I had to wait for a group. **NOTE: no one else showed from the 12:08 p.m. Golf Now tee time.

Finally, three golfers showed up from a later tee time. We teed off at approximately 12:30 p.m., one half hour past my original time! I have played at Oak Hollow for over 20 years and never had this occur!

The golfers I was with were seldom in the fairway during the round. I was usually in the fairway and played ready golf. They were slower players.

Then, when we finished the 17th green and started to head to the 18th tee, the ranger told us NOT to play the 18th hole. It was 5:00 p.m. and close to darkness.

That didn't go over well with me. I mentioned this when returning the cart.

I realize that the Oak Hollow staff was doing their best with a booked course. Golf Now needs to know that somehow their system overbooked the tee times.

I am a loyal Golf Now customer and will continue to be.

Course conditions were fair, with slow and bumpy greens.

Scenery on Oak Hollow is outstanding, especially holes 4-6!

Thank you.

Great conditions, friendly staff, beautiful day

I played Jamestown Park Monday on a beautiful sunny winter day.

Conditions were excellent, even after a lot of rain. It was cart paths only with a few muddy spots.

I wore my new Footjoy spikeless golf shoes. No slippage, with a firm base for hitting good shots, which I did.

Marcie was friendly at check-in. The entire Jamestown Park staff is always helpful and professional.

The course provides challenge and is very scenic.

Great value at $25 on Golf Now.

I highly recommend Jamestown Park to everyone.

Jamestown Park is my favorite local course. I will always come back for an enjoyable round.

Improved conditions, beautiful course, friendly staff

I played Oak Hollow on a Golf Now Hot Deals tee time for $15, a great value.

Course conditions had improved since I was there last month.

The greens were at their smoothest for the year, rolling consistently.

Rick checked me in. He is always helpful, friendly, and professional.

The entire staff at Oak Hollow, including Angie and her associates at the grill, are terrific!

Oak Hollow is the ONLY Pete Dye municipal course design in North Carolina. The bunkers, railroad ties, greens, and slopes throughout the course carry his signature.

I consider Oak Hollow to be a favorite local course and highly recommend this layout.

Excellent conditions, value, scenery, and staff

Jamestown Park is ALWAYS my favorite nearby course to play. Conditions are outstanding from tee to green, with lush fairways, smooth, consistent, and fast greens.

Cindy rang up my round walking as a senior for $12, a great value. Cindy also does an excellent job of running the grill. Jamestown has a loyalty points program. Since Cindy couldn't apply my points when I checked in, she took my name and they did this at the turn (after 9 holes). Davis assisted with this transaction as well as ringing up drinks.

Both Cindy and Davis are helpful, friendly, and professional. They are assets to Jamestown Park Golf Course.

Jamestown Park Golf Course offers challenge, beauty, elevation changes, prime playing conditions, friendly staff, and great value. I hit the ball well during my round, playing off lush turf.

Jamestown Park is closest to my location. I will always make this course my #1 local links.

I highly recommend Jamestown Park Golf Course to everyone.

Excellent value, good playing conditions, friendly staff, scenic, great layout

Indian Valley is always a pleasure to play.
This was my third time over the years.

Excellent value on Golf Now for a total of $20-18 holes. Great layout with several doglegs, elevation change, excellent fairways, decent greens. Tees need a little more turf, very firm. FREE yardage book was a nice touch, providing clear direction on best placement for shots throughout the round.

Pace of play was excellent, playing as a single in 3 hours for 18 holes. Passed up 3 groups on the back nine.

Great pro shop, with Christian and Bubba representing the friendly staff. Well-appointed locker room.

Indian Valley is a terrific municipal course that makes you want to play there multiple times.

I highly recommend Indian Valley to everyone.

Great weather, course conditions, terrific layout, friendly staff

Indian Valley is a pleasure to play. This was my third time over the years.

The yardage book, provided FREE, helped tremendously in knowing where to place shots throughout the round.

Indian Valley's layout is outstanding, with several doglegs, undulating greens, excellent scenery, and varied elevation.

Course conditions are good, with outstanding fairways. Greens are in decent shape and roll true. Tees are a little hard so I went with a plastic tee that fit in easily.

I had one of my better rounds tee to green. Going out as a single, pace of play was excellent. Three hours for 18, passing up groups on the back nine.

Greens wee receptive to bump and run shots. Also, the ball landed softly on approaches without going too far past the hole.

Pro shop is well stocked and the locker room is clean and well-appointed.

Christian checked me in on the Golf Now tee time, a great value. Bubba in the pro shop is very friendly.

I would highly recommend Indian Valley Golf Club. Traveling 40 minutes for a round was well worth it!

Great value, wonderful staff, perfect weather

The Challenge is always a fun course to play. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and professional, especially Andrew in the pro shop.

The value was terrific, $13.59 on Golf Now with a Hot Deal, plus my $10 certificate redemption.

Condition was spotty, due to a winterkill, which has affected several courses in the area. **NOTE: The Challenge should have pristine conditions, according to management, in one month. ** I look forward to playing there later this summer.

Several scenic holes provide excellent photography opportunities.

The Challenge is aptly named. You must be accurate with all shots, using most clubs in the bag.

Pace of play was 3 1/2 hours for 18 holes on a Thursday, going out by myself.

The clubhouse and pro shop are top notch, first class.

I would definitely recommend The Challenge at Hideaway Farm to everyone.

Thank you.

Excellent condition, friendly staff, great value

I played Jamestown Park for $19 Thursday afternoon on a Golf Now tee time, excellent value.

The course was in great condition, especially after a lot of rain. Tees and fairways were lush, with the exception of "winter kill" on #8. Also, the 8th green was the only one not in perfect shape. Otherwise, greens are smooth and quick.

I played in 3 1/2 hours going out as a single ahead of my scheduled tee time, a great pace of play.

Marcie is an asset to Jamestown Park. She is always friendly, helpful, and professional. Ross is perfect at the Director of Golf.

Perfect day and conditions, tough challenge, bunkers galore

Tanglewood Championship Course is in excellent shape from tee to green, like a country club.

Lots of bunkers that will snare your best and worst approach shots. Only got out of 2 sand traps in 1 shot.
Very difficult to score with several placed in front of the green, not allowing for bump and run.

Scenery and variety to layout makes me want to come back several times to Tanglewood Championship Course.

Staff is very friendly. Pro shop is well- stocked. Great locker room.

Tanglewood Championship Course was a great value on Golf Now, under $20 with cart for 18 holes.

One negative to the round...... our electric cart barely made it up several hills that were not that steep. Needed a better charge before the round.

Overall, a great golfing experience worthy of multiple plays. I would highly recommend Tanglewood Championship Course to everyone!

Great day, great friend, nice conditions

Oak Hollow always offers value, scenery, challenge, and a friendly staff.

Playing for $13 per golfer with my friend, it was a perfect weather day. The fairways are lush and great to hit approach shots from.

Greens could be better. Spotty condition is due, in my opinion, to golfers not fixing ball marks and a failure to pick up their feet.

Tees do need more grass. Perhaps, in the spring, this will improve.

Holes 4-6 around Oak Hollow Lake provide beauty, challenge, and in my case, a few "redistributed" golf balls!!!
Great course for an avid photographer. I have taken several nice images of Oak Hollow.
Where else in North Carolina can you play a Pete Dye original for green fees under $30!!!

The starter is from my original area of the Northeast and we get along well.

I would highly recommend Oak Hollow to everyone who wants a course that is worthy of playing several times!
