Course was in phenomenal shape and the greens were pure. There appears to be a large cicada killing wasp issue on the #10 green so dodging those were fun. Only downside was my cart that died completely at the 18th green. Normally I wouldn’t be bothered by this but this happened last week to a playing partners cart on the 6th hole. Unacceptable for a course of this caliber. Tires were racing slick bald and the cart bucked a lot before it’s eventual demise.

Lately the pace of play there has been pretty poor. Made the turn and 7 carts were on the #10 tee - that is inexcusable. This turned what was a fairly quick round into an abysmal enjoyment sucking round. 15-20min waits at every tee box. The ranger needs to do more than start the groupings. There needs to be some enforcement of the pace of play. There are a few holes with blind tee shots, so why not have carts with the electric ranger and show the gps of the course. It’s 2022, I think it’s time to propel the game forward a bit.

The grill was out of hot dogs and the extras were frozen? And they weren’t actively thawing any out (from my plying partners POV).

A short game area would be amazing too. The whole right side of the range is unused why not install a small chipping/short game complex. 20yrd shots.

Tee boxes have a terrible crab grass infestation and the 3 or 4 pins were cut into healing fungal areas causing the putts to wobble near the cup.

The rest of the course was top notch condition and I love the layout here! This used to be the premier course in the area and I always thought of it as a benchmark but it’s falling away from that as of late.

I will continue to play here however I now know to expect it to be a 5hr or more round.

The course was in phenomenal shape however the greens are wretched. Bombed out and depleted. Bent is hard to maintain in the summer so the new renovations are welcomed!

Pace of play was right on point and the course offers some really fun golf. Price is a little steep but it’s the only public course in CH and they know they can charged whatever they want. I’m ready to try the new greens out in 2024!

Terra Ceia was a blast, but bring your a game. The fairways are tight and the greens are postage stamp small! Overall I really enjoyed this track and the staff was super friendly. I also enjoyed (what I assume) the practice hole that runs parallel to 18. It allowed me to rally dial in my 100yrd in prior to playing. I’ll definitely come back as it was a true test for my iron game playing from the tips! It will also hold a special value in my heart as I broke into the single digit handicap at this course!

I travel here each year for 4th of July and make it a point to golf. I chose A-ga-Ming for its reputation around with local golfers. I have to say the lay out was fantastic and the views were breathtaking but the pace of play was so, slow. The foursome in front of us were not letting up play through which lead to a 5hr round. But there was a significant amount of fungus on the grounds and a lot of anthills. Several tee boxes are not flat and what happened with #3 (I think) the 300yrd par 5? Next year I’ll try out Sundance; it clearly is the star child here!

Not much to say. The course is nice reminder of what golf was. The tiny greens remind you how hard golf can be. The holes offered a nice layout with some fun shots. The fairways are narrow and undulating. I had a great time and shot +2! I’ll be back out for sure.

I lived in Hillsborough for 22 years and got tired of the "local course". I had no idea how close this track was; boy did i miss out!

Tee Boxes are flat (pet peeve) Conditions were perfect. Greens were perfect. Brand new club car carts with GPS and blind shot warning. The range is tiny though. A lot of birdie opportunities and the rough is deceptively deep.

I hit 13/18 greens and never had to worry about the greens being too firm.

they obviously put a lot of money into this course recently and it shows.

Ill definitely will be going back!

I’ve lived in Sanford for 3 years now. Ashamed I have never played this course! I was impressed. Normally I balk at the $100+ price tag. I got a “bushwood”feeling looking from the outside in, when I arrived today I was floored. The young lady at check in was very friendly. The range is great, I loved the short game area. Greens were recently sanded but rolled so true and such as snot. I’ll definitely go back, when the deals can be had. The only negative was the group inferring if me who were incredibly slow. I found myself hitting 2-3 balls per hole so I wasn’t wasting time. Other than that, sublime. Now to ply creek!

I usually come to this course from Sanford for one reason, I love the layout of this track. I’m familiar with this course as I have played it about thirty times. Today i was a little let down as I really really really had to alter my playing style. I am usually very aggressive with my shots 150 in. I know my distances really well. Today I was unable to do that as the greens were rock hard. Leaving hard judgement calls as each green was very different, I realize this region hasn’t gotten much rain lately. Nonetheless, I love Quaker creek and I will always come back!

Drove a few hours to play this Arnold Palmer course. I was surprised at $65, that the course didn’t have a ranger. Staff wasn’t very attentive how players were starting the round off. We were behind 2 groups of 5, which was a huge inconvenience on the front 9. Our golf cart died, which they replaced within 10 minutes. We had to let the group behind us play through and they informed us that their cart died too. When our backup arrived the staff member said “ we have had a lot die today”. Some greens were rough. It was a brutal summer, so I understand to a degree. But these had huge dead spots. The bunkers were either hard as concrete or mud puddles. Overall the layout was fun and some very pretty holes. It very nice of the course to provide coolers full of bottled water. TLDR; it’s expensive for what you get. Slow play, Conditions of greens and bunkers is shoddy, nice fairways and gorgeous views.

I came here expecting it. Honestly wasn’t too bad. Grill staff messed up my order twice. But over all it was a decent day of golf. I wish people openly advertised the whole aerating thing. Staff was cool about it all.

I like this Ellis Maples design, Siler City country club and Quail Ridge also are as enjoyable! Indian valley gives plenty of opportunities to shoot low, I carded an 82 today and the conditions weren’t too shabby. It was so nice to play “non cart path only” golf today! The course was unusually quiet; more than likely due to the aeration and sand. I missed a few birdie putts as the ball hopped and jumped a bit but it’s all part of the game and all in good fun.

Always solid. But I am so tired of rain ruining golf every week. Makes pace of play painfully slow, 5 1/2 hours today. Was told we were playing alone, then got paired up with another twosome and also advised the water jugs were full; they weren’t. Full of air I guess but not water.

After playing here last August, I’ve been longing to come back. I got on golf now and saw a $12 tee time and snatched it up; if ever there was a time of the old adage “too good to be true” to be applicable it was now. As I drove up to the course I caught a peek of the fairway and the rough, the fairways looked amazing, but the greens were sandy. I thought to myself, oh well, could be worse. I will preface to say that I expected cart path only, this was the only expected drawback. I drove from over an hr away, go inside. Practice facilities closed, back nine only, play it twice. Greens are aerated and sanded. So much sand, flags would get laid on the greens near the cup because the sand was so built up in the bottom of the cup. It was frustrating because no where do they warn or advise people of the terrible conditions for the day. I came across a group of guys who had a tournament there the following day, and cancelled it saying it was not going to competitive and they too wished they would of gotten at least a heads up at the clubhouse. I wouldn’t of paid $1 to play there that day, as a figure of speech. Let alone $12. Next time I’ll make sure it’s playable before I waste my time and money.

Other than the terrible drainage (which they appear to be working on) course is fun, challenging and rewarding when you play well. Every time I play here I get stuck behind a group during some unpublished tournament it seems. There is one gentleman who works the checkin desk in the proshop who is very unfriendly and looks like everyone is a bother to him. The camping coolers filled with bottled water (not free) is a cheap way out to just having water coolers. In the summer it gets so hot, the warm bottle of water in an un-iced cooler hardly seems refreshing. For a “country club” I expected better amenities. I still enjoy the course and will give them my money solely based on the course layout and challenge.

Every time I drove past Champions Gate as a kid, I wanted to play here. Always thinking it was out of my budget, well I got the chance today and wow. The international course is not for the faint of heart. Course provided some humbling challenges but was overall fantastic. Staff was world class, they even wiped my clubs off after play. I will definitely go back!
