Pudding Ridge... Keeps getting better

Over the past year they have done a lot of work. When I played the other day the course was in great condition. The greens are smooth & soft, the tee boxes in good shape, and the fairways were great. They also just got a bunch of new golf carts and they have USB outlets in them to charge your devices. They have a good team of people and the course seems to continually get better.

86 year old former pro and his family

Our family is a golfing family . We annually get together for a family golf outing for bragging rights at a local course . Our 86 father and former teaching pro can’t play anymore but rides along giving tips to his children and grandkids and acts as our rules official . When we arrived Saturday and explained what we were doing we asked for an extra cart for dad fully intending to pay an extra cart fee ( although usually waived in past years at other local courses ) were told he would have to pay a full green fee and after our pleads said there was no exceptions to the rules.. We voiced our complaint but paid the full fee for dad . The old saying screw me once shame on you screw me twice shame on me will apply here with our family and friends. This decision will cost this course more than they made . Interesting to note that although they couldn’t break the rule for dad they did in fact break a rule by charging us for a fivesome which is also against the rules .

Great Value and fun layout

I've played this course several times over the years and the new ownership has done a great job of put this course in tip
top shape. The ball sets up in the fairway and the greens roll true.

Very slow round

Everything was fine except for pace of play. Not sure if people just don't know golf etiquette anymore or golf courses don't have rules anymore. I was a twosome stuck behind a slow playing twosome who was following and waiting on a FIVESOME. Not sure when fivesome were allowed to play. I'm fine with it as long as they don't hold up other groups. Having to wait on literally every shot is ridiculous and having to wait on the tee for 10 minutes at a time is uncalled for. Ended skipping two holes just to get past the slow groups only to be held up by another slow threesome that wouldn't let us go through. Other than that I enjoyed the course. It was in great shape for this time of year and in better shape than in past years.

Excellent Course for the Price!

Great layout. Course is fairly challenging, but offers multiple tees for all skill sets to enjoy. Greens aren't the quickest, but they are smooth and roll true, and also very receptive to approach shots. If you are considering this course, it is worth the drive.

Pudding Ridge

The Pudding Ridge Golf Course is in excellent shape. Have played here several times in the past few years, but now the course is in the best condition I've ever seen it. The staff are all very nice and friendly. Will enjoy playing the golf course frequently.

Back in June

Course was in excellent shape. Front nine are not as challenging as the back nine but shot placement still matters. As usual, each time I have played Pudding Ridge it has a lot of play, but they do a fantastic job keeping the course in great shape.

Excellent conditions at pudding ridge!

First time here . We all loved it !
Wide open and green fairways .
Wide open approach shots also. This course reminded me of Possum Trot in myrtle beach.
The staff was excellent
There was a back up on hole 1 so we jumped on 10 and saw no one !
Them went back to 1 and it was wide open!
We will be back ! I like it better than tanglewood and oak valley!

Course is well priced for it's style of play.

Course is well maintained, fairways in great shape, around the greens are decent, green speeds still a little slow. But overall experience is good. Great place to play

Beautiful and demanding!

Pudding Ridge is a terrific golf course. It's certainly not for beginners, as I had my wife and daughter with me. While the fairways are wide, it is pretty long for a novice. The green complexes are excellent, and the terrain makes for a wonderful challenge. I will be back to play this course again..

There's a good bit of water. It is easily one of the prettiest layouts in the Piedmont of NC, which is saying a lot. We played shortly after the greens were aerated, but I can tell they will be very quick once they heal!

Not golfer focused

The pro shop staff would not give you a golf cart until 20 minutes before your tee time. This means you need to carry your bag around if you want to hit balls or put. Very inconvenient. This was a Saturday. Most golf clubs have starters on the weekends. This one doesn't. This is a bad way to control the starting times.
