What a find

About 10 miles out 40 off of 77. Our course had been aerated so we looked for somewhere different to play. Greens were near perfect, fairways were great and bunkers properly maintained. Lots of blind shots, elevation, dog legs and winding creeks to keep you on your toes. You'll definitely improve by many stokes after your first time there. Beautiful private setting on par with some of the best in the charlotte area. Great value for the money and they actually appreciate your business. We played during drought conditions but the course showed no signs of it.

Great greens

Rounds are expensive for the area but it's usually crowded so others must not mind. No walking rate but I do see others walking so it must be a members only thing.

Greens are always top notch. Recently they have struggled but I'm happy to say they are back to their normal great condition.

Tee boxes still lumpy and hard to find a level spot for both feet and ball. They are growing a little high which makes it a little tougher as well.

Burgers in the clubhouse were good but they have shrunk recently, unfortunately the price did not. Close up shop on food and bar early so eat early or pack a snack. Beer and soda always available in pro shop so no worries there.

Great shape, cart gps but a few issues

Beautiful and greens are always good but little things like no sand in the bunkers, bar/grill that closes mid-afternoon and uneven tee boxes keep it from being great. They have golf cart mounted gps now which is great! Approach view gives you front and back of green distances. Only problem is if you go off your fairway, on the fairway on a par 3 or to a "prohibited area" to play a ball it slows down to 2mph (slower than a walk) until you get back. Doesn't sound like much but it really slows up play. Great idea, just a little too micro-managed. You also get "Speed up" messages even if the group(s) in front of you are holding you back. Nothing ticks you off more than waiting on a group for 16 holes and then getting a message to speed up.
You can order from the grill on the gps too on number 9, assuming you get there before the grill closes or around 3pm. Use an old club or a big tee on number 7. Artificial turf on the tee and it is littered with pebbles, I assume from wash or throw from mower but you'll see sparks if you ground the club. No water in afternoon in water jugs, range or course.

What a great place and a great value

27 holes of beautiful fairways and bermuda greens. Not too much water but enough to make you careful with your shots. A few doglegs and blind shots as well as bunkers to make you pay if you aren't careful. Wide fairways with bunkers scattered about to force a lay up, a well placed drive or a heck of a long drive. Houses all around but not in play due to the wide fairways and layout.
30 min from Wrightsville beach (hour at rush hour).
Staff in clubhouse, restaurant and bar are probably the nicest I've seen. Hotel recommended for a great round of golf at a great price. We were late for our tee time as we weren't familiar with the area and the club staff said "not a problem, well get you on".
Played until dark and then had dinner and drinks at clubhouse. They had a good crowd and best burger I've had in a long time. I'll be playing here anytime I'm in the area.
Plenty of restaurants and shops on the main highway as you come into the area.

Still no sand in bunkers, bar was closed.

Played a few weeks ago and nothing but gravel and dirt in the bunkers on the back 9. I played again hoping it was just washed out from rain but weeks later same thing and obviously they hadn't had rain in a while. I peeked at a couple on the front and they too lacked sand. How much does sand cost? Course is fairly easy unless you hit a green side bunker. No sand to get between the ball and the club so twice I flew the green by 10 yards. Please put some sand in those bunkers or put red paint around them. Greens were great as they were before but tee boxes are well used but some were new. Get your food early or pack a snack as restaurant closes early afternoon. There were drinks in the pro shop.

Great greens make up for rough tee boxes and no sand in bunkers

Warrior always has top notch greens. They must have a great grounds guy. Even when aerated they are slit vs plugged and playable.

Layout is nice and course is beautiful and somewhat secluded, especially on the back nine.

Most of the tee boxes have issues from heavy play and ?. Hard to find a level spot to to take a stance and hit from on the blue or white boxes. I can tee it up if no grass but I can't make it level. It looks like they are reworking some on the par 3's so probably getting better soon.

Sand traps are red clay and gravel on the back nine and some of the front which is rough on clubs and your score. Picking the ball clean works for the fairway bunkers but the ones by the greens are a problem. You can't take a slice of sand since there isn't any which makes a nice out difficult. A player should be penalized for hitting the trap but deserves an opportunity to make it up. For the prices charged, a little sand should be included.

Nice course and no other public courses in immediate area so crowded Fri - Sun and holidays.
