Perfect weather

Greens are coming around

They've had trouble with greens the last several times I've played there. Number 2 especially. Much better now than a month ago, but still not there yet. The layout is super. A 10 handicap can compete with a scratch golfer here, which is what I like about it.

Awesome staff. Awesome layout. Terrible conditions.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The course has an incredible amount of potential. Bent grass greens were burnt up and less than 50% surface coverage on the greens. It was also very hard to navigate the course, cart paths and hole locations are not labeled adequately. With a little bit of investment this could be one of the best courses around. It was beautiful, except for the greens

Disappointing

Short and simple, greens are garbage. I hate to say it, I really do. Love tot hill farm but it’s not worth the money anymore. Hands down the worst greens I’ve played and I see no effort in maintenance restoring them. Felt like I was cheated out of $35 when I left. Hope they can turn the greens around but until then, no thanks.

Great layout HORRIBLE greens

Today was my 5th time playing tot hill and over the past years I loved the track! But the greens over the last 2 years have gone so down hill it’s not even funny! For $68 on the weekend I expect much better. The greens were slow dirt bumpy just down right Horrible some of the worst greens I’ve ever played in my life. Such a shame even A year or two ago they were decent! Almost unplayable! But the layout is awesome a lot of fun golf shots out there! fairways were in great shape! I’ll give it another try next year but so disappointed from what it used to be. Ownership needs to figure these greens out asap or not many people will be coming back not worth almost $70 on the weekend

Awesome Track - mediocre conditions

This is a great Mike Strantz track So fun So crazy and always worth the trek if the greens are in good shape. Unfortunately that is not always the case
Fairways are good and tee boxes are hit and miss but the greens were not great again. The 90+ degree heat had been hitting early this year Hopefully they put in champion or mini verde Bermuda greens one day and make this the bucket list course it could be

Bad bad bad greens

I've played this course about 8 times each time hoping that it's gonna get better it never does. To charge $70 for greens that are half as good as a fresh cow pasture is unbelievable. The place needs to shut down and change them. Obviously the grass thats in their cant work. If can see that why cant somebody that takes care of the golf course see that. Its sad. If they fixed the greens I would have no problem with pricing. Just fix the greens already!!!!

Absolutely beautiful course

My friend and I are complete beginners at golf, we might have a dozen games between the two of us. This course was the most beautiful course I’ve seen in North Carolina for sure. It was also really difficult for beginners, but it didn’t take away from how fun it was. The greens are the only thing that I didn’t particularly enjoy because there are little divots in them that are there on purpose (I’m a complete rookie so I don’t know if they’re there to help or hurt or if it’s to help grow more grass or anything, I just didn’t like them for my putting) and the greens on some holes are huge. I was having to make 40-60 yard putts on some of them because I didn’t want to chip on the green and mess it up for everyone else. I would 100 percent recommend any beginners wanting to play this course to just do it, but do it on a less busy day so you can play at your own pace. It was a busy Friday when we went and we did fill a bit rushed but that had nothing to do with the course, just the fast players behind us and the slow players ahead of us.

My Favorite Course

Overall condition of course is much improved compared to. recent years. Fairways were fairly lush and bent grass greens were maybe as good as I’ve seen at Tot Hill.
Cart. Paths still. need work but getting better.
Still my favorite course in the whole world and best example of the genius of Mike Stranz.

Excellent experience if you hit where you aim

Thoroughly enjoyed the course and quickly realized you have to pick a target and hit it. Greens in very good condition; take time to read the grain. Will play again soon.

Challenging and fun.

The staff and the course layout and the scenery are all phenomenal. However like many golf courses pace of play has become abysmal. Some courses are on eight or ten minute tee time intervals but Tot Hill has a12 minute interval. This was a good move for them because of the difficult layout and this is a destination course unfortunately the extra tee time intervals still does not help. Many of the greens are in very poor condition. So pace-of-play and the greens in poor condition are the primary reasons for my rating as an average course. And there is no excuse for some of the root heaves and asphalt ramps on the cart paths. Maintain the greens properly, fix the cart paths and enforce a 4 Hour 15 minute maximum time and this is a 5-star course.

The views are amazing! Super hard course for an average golfer. Half the greens had dead spots all over and several tee boxes were just dirt. Deff not worth 60 $
