Fun Course

Greens were pretty firm and fast, and often required an accurate approach shot to hold. Fairways were in good condition. Pine needles off the fairways often gave you a chance to recover from a bad drive, although making par may be difficult. Bunkers had plenty of sand. Several interesting long 5s. Most par 3s were short irons. Overall, was a fun course with good greens that I'd like to play again.

Fun course

Course was pretty and fun. The layout was not to difficult but was a challenge for a high handicapper. The greens needed a little work but beside that we were pleased and will play here again.

Good Course

I enjoyed this course. It has a good mix of challenge - dog legs, sand, water. Got a good rate on Golf 18 Sandhills. I have played both 18's and enjoyed the experience on each.

Free Istate

Sand traps need lots of attention. Greens rough and hairy. Fairways descent. This is a $25.00--$30.00 course.

RIVER COURSE, WHISPERING PINES

I played the Pines course the week prior and enjoyed it very much, so decided I would play the River course. The greens had been recently punched so they were a bit slow and bumpy, but are coming back nicely. This is a fairly short course. I enjoyed the front nine but really liked the back 9. The course was great fun to play. I purchased my tee time on Golf Now. recommend it.

Beautiful course!

We've played here a few times and it's a great course! It would be even better if there were a food and beverage option after nine holes, since you don't come back by the clubhouse. Course is beautiful and the golf is challenging!

Nice but SLOW

Course was in good condition. Greens were in excellent condition. Pace of play - 5 hour round. Obviously they overbooked. Great value for the money. 49.00/round on golf now.

First Game of 2017

My wife and I played on a hot afternoon. The Pines course was very busy due to school tournament. We found the River course to be in average conditions except for good greens. We played in about 3 hours, which was great. We even had time for a post game drink in the clubhouse, with a friendly server. All in all a good first game experience.

Fun course to play

Played the Creek course with my son in law. Had a tee time at 10:45 on a Sunday morning, and we finished in a little over three hours. Course is still a little brown, but plenty grass to hit off of. Tee boxes and greens very nice . Other than not knowing that you didn't come back to the clubhouse after nine, no complaints. The only reason I mentioned that, was the halfway house was not occupied, so we had to finish our round without stopping to get some lunch. Not that big a deal, but would have been nice to know.

COURSE AND VALUE WAS COMPATABLE

NO NEED TO WRITE GREAT REVIEWS ABOUT COURSES BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO THAT THEY RAISE THE TEE TIME PRICES! BOTTOM LINE.

Well kept course with many challenging holes!

Greens were in excellent condition and really enjoyed the course layout & challenging layout! Only wish they had a few more away from clubhouse amenities such as a mid way snack shop &/or beverage cart.
