Challenging Course
Very nice course. Challenging. Was a little wet from rain the day before, but seems to drain very well. Still allowed carts on fairways..
Course review
Very nice course. Was a little wet but the Course condition was good. First time playing there but will be back.. Enjoyed the several challenges.. Especially the water 😲
Nice Course
I have played here a couple of times now and I enjoy the layout. The course was a bit wet but we had a ton of rain so that was to be expected.
Great course for the price
You really can’t beat this course for the price. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Great Golf Course
Staff was very nice. Great course for the money. Nice layout. We drove down from Raleigh and will return soon.
Sadness
This is called sadness because it appears a lack of money is likely the result of a course that is slowly dying and will be closed eventually. I feel bad for the members. The fairways had no roll due to not a lot of mowing. the greens were grainy and inconsistent with no grab. cart paths were extremely worn out. I am sure it was a fun place in it's hayday but it's like going to a closed down drive in movie theater from the 70s.
design of course is actually very cool. pace of play was great because no one was playing. rate was very low so at least that was somewhat of a value.
I wish someone would purchase it with unlimited funds and save this dying place.
I wish the membership the best in the future.
Honestly, what the heck?
Wow, this was my second time playing this course because I felt like I needed to give it a second chance. The first time was horrible. They force everyone into 4s which destroys the pace of play. I waited a minimum of 15 minutes per shot. If you’re like me and hate slow golf, don’t play here. So the second time I played I showed up to no one being at the club house. Everyone was waiting outside, one person found keys in the a cart and took off, other decided to walk. A lady who works there (but was actually off and had a tee time to play) arrived and started working. I paid in full for 18 but only played 9 because of how awful the pace of play was. It was extremely discombobulated. The course is actually nice and pretty well taken care of. The employees just ruin the experience with forced 4sums and awful play pace.
Don’t recommend
Fairways were in poor conditions. Greens on front needed to be cut and divots repaired. Greens in back were cut way short but fairways were even in rougher condition than front. And I’m not a fan of gas carts and cart paths were not maintained at all Staff very nice
Best value in the Sandhills. High handicapper. Course in good condition. Staff very friendly. Love the Fillies and Colts restaurant/19th hole. Big Pittsburgh Steeler fans. Can’t wait to go back.
What a Shame!
This is a wonderful Ellis Maples design that has been badly mistreated. The greens have been painted to hide the fact that they don’t really have any real grass on them to speak of. Fairways are ok. The bunkers don’t even have rakes, for goodness sake. I guess ya get what you pay for. With a little TLC and a moderate amount of cash, this beautiful course could be rejuvenated and would be a real gem. Too bad ownership either doesn’t have the money or doesn’t care.
Grass Grass Grass
Got a round in today course called Whispering Woods Golf Club in Whispering Pines, NC. If you're not from here you probably don't know, well I gonna let the cat out the bag don't even go play there! Terrible course no grass on Tee Boxes, and Fairways, greens were amazing lightning fast. Just getting on the green was today's challenge lol. Ended up shooting an 85 not bad for the 3rd round of the year. Worse Golf course I've played in a while. Time with my Son priceless!
Grass is not growing as of yet due to soil temps, not hitting desired temp. You are obviously not aware of this. Just read ALL the reviews.
Thank you for your review, I would like to clarify some of your concerns.
The greens are painted when the Bermuda Grass goes Dormant after the first frost in the fall. You are correct, the greens are thin because of the ground not reaching 60 degrees for growth. Yes, we do not have rakes in the bunkers because they are considered WASTE BUNKERS. At the 2021 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island, they declared all their bunkers WASTE BUNKERS because it is more favorable to the player.
Thank you
