My wife and I played the Piper and the Bay course. It was in very good condition-nice tee boxes and fairways. The greens were good but a bit slow for bermuda greens. I would have preferred them to be a bit faster but they still putted very well. My wife said she really enjoyed the play for the Ladies Tees. She said they were good, level tees and good distances to her play. Most of all, this was a Great Value for the price we got from Golf Now. We look forward to playing again and hopefully the next time we can play the Sand Course.

I played HH National with my wife. Other than the greens, which I give them a pass on because it happened to be that time for aerification of the greens. The rest of the course was Fantastic. It was my first time playing a Gary Player course. The layout was very good. Not overly difficult and just a good fun play. My wife who has a lot of problem with other courses, mainly with women's tee boxes said these were really good. I would give this course about a month for the greens to completely heal and this course will be even better. If I get back to Hilton Head, I look forward to playing HH National again.

I played Asheboro CC today. I have played this course before when the overall conditions were good, but today, other than the greens, it was in really bad shape. I can't remember when I've seen so many rocks just off the fairways. Fairways had a lot of bare dirt on them. Tee boxes were patchy. Around the collars of the greens, a lot of those were bare. On the bright side, the greens were in really good shape. The personnel working there were extremely friendly. I'm glad I got a good deal on Golf Now, would have really been mad if I paid a higher price. Overall, I would not recommend this course in this condition right now. Its ashame because when this course is in good shape, its a great layout and a good play. Its going to be awhile before I come back.

My wife and I recently played Cedarbrook and was very surprised. The staff was extremely friendly from the time we hit the door. The golf course is a great layout with plenty of room for driving the golf ball. The greens can be very tricky with a lot of slop in them but I wouldn't say they were unfair if you put the ball in the right location. They putted fantastic. On problem this course had, as so many in the area, was a lot of winter kill in the fairways. It was a very harsh winter and a lot of course are struggling with this now. I don't hold that against course for now, its an uncontrolled circumstance. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely keep an eye on this one for future Golf Now deals. We will be back!!!

I have played Meadowlands many times over the years. In the past it has always been a good place to play. The course is a great layout with good golf holes. But, something has happened in the last 8 months. The condition of the course is just Awful, especially the greens. They are very bumpy and have dead patches in a lot of them. Even the fairways had a lot of dirt on them-I do realize the Bermuda hasn't come in yet, but compared to other course with the same dormant fairways, these were not good. Tee boxes about the same, poor condition. On the good side, the staff at Meadowlands was very nice. I hope that things do improve, because this golf course has a lot of potential-and has in the past. But until course conditions improve, there is no way I would recommend playing this course.

Its been about 20 years since I've played Olde Homeplace, in fact that wasn't even the name of the course back then. Since that time, they have done a nice job at making the course more challenging. The course has been lengthened significantly. Its still a fun course to play, gives you plenty of room off the tees and good greens to putt. My biggest complaint was the pace of play. It was super slow. When it take 5+ hours to play, that's has to be on the club house for over booking. And looking at other reviews, there's a tend there. I would have rated the course higher except for the pace. I'm certain I will go back but I have to realize its going to be like this and patience is a must. Take lots of beer and have a good 4 some and enjoy the day and golf. It is a good place to play.

I played Indian Valley. The course has been in good shape over the past years. Its a good layout with a nice variety of holes. The greens were in great shape with good speed. I always enjoy playing here. I really didn't have anything negative to say about it. I look forward to playing it again.

I played Umstead Pines and it was okay. I wasn't a big fan of the layout of the course for me personally, too many lay up holes for my liking. I would say the condition of the fairways and tee boxes were maintained, nothing negative to say about them. The best part about the course was definitely the greens. They were old-styles sloped greens with shaved fringes for run off. They had good speed to them as well. I would say the person in the clubhouse wasn't overly friendly, but was okay. All in all, not my favorite course but I would play there again and recommend it to each person to make their own determination.

I played the West course and it was Fantastic!!! The conditions were pristine, especlally the greens. One negative about the West course, the 9th hole does not come back to the clubhouse, and the Turn House after the 9th was closed and there was no beverage cart. We played on a Saturday so this was a surprise at such a nice place. Recommendation, if you are playing the West course, load up with your snacks and beverages before going out. Other than that, things were GREAT!!! I'm looking forward to playing both Grandover courses again!!!!

I play this course on a regular basis. Normally its in really good shape but this time, not so much. The greens were starting to show crab grass on them. The tee boxes also were in rough shape. I think its just not the right time of the year. I've played this course several times this year and it was in good shape. The layout of the course is really good and when the course conditions are good, its a fun place to play. One other thing negative, we played on a Saturday afternoon and it was long, 5+ hour round. That's never enjoyable. I would still recommend it, especially at a different time of the year when the conditions are good. I will go back, just not for a while.

I played Talamore with my wife. I think Talamore deserves a Mulligan in this case. We have had some tremendous amounts of rain and I believe this was reflecting the poor course conditions. But, I am doing this review based on what the course was like when we played. The fairways haven't been mowed in awhile, it was like hitting out of the rough. I'm certain that's because they could not cut them due to the wetness. The tee boxes were mixed, some were in good shape but others needed attention. The greens were in pretty good shape , a little on the slow side. The course has a great layout and is challenging. The first is a wicked par 5-600+ yards, I played the Blue Tees. And the last 4 holes were difficult finishing holes. I wish this course would have been in good condition because it has great potential. I hope to come back when its dry. One other thing, my wife loved the Llama's off the 14th tee box. Overall, I would really like to play this course again under better conditions.

I've played Oak Hollow many times. This is great course layout. It just depends on the condition of the course and the pace of play. On this day, it took a Long time!!! This was Friday after the 4th, so the course was packed. Way too long to play. The course condition was pretty good considering how much rain has soaked the course. The greens were really slow on this day. Overall, I always recommend Oak Hollow and hopefully you'll be able to play in when its in top shape. When it is, there's not many more enjoyable.

I played Winding Creek with my wife. Biggest problem with me, I just didn't like the way this course was laid out or played. I have big problems when the tee boxes are even slopped. The greens were very difficult to read-also had a lot of ball marks scaring the greens, not the courses fault. I'm fine playing sloped courses in the Mountain-and at least there, the tee boxes are flat at most good courses. My wife's tee boxes looked even worst-she hated the course. As a positive, the course was very well maintained. Good grass on the fairways and tee boxes. The staff was also nice. One other thing to point out, we were getting bit by a lot of bugs. All in all, I'm not a fan of this course, I do recommend that each person needs to play it and determine for themselves whether they like this course. We played the course from the other reviews and a lot of people like, so play it and you decide.

I played Greensboro National. I have played this course several times and its always great getting back. The course lay out is Great!! The course was in good shape. The greens on this day were a bit slow from where they normally are but still rolling well. From Golf Now, this was a Great Value from their normal Green Fees. I'm looking forward to playing Greensboro National soon.

I played Tanglewood-Reynolds with my wife. This was a Saturday, late afternoon round, so the greens being slower and bumpy might not be the fault of the course. I'm played the course a couple weeks ago and the greens were really good, much better than today. The course is tight, especially on the back 9. Its a fun course with not a lot of length, but can be challenging. There are several elevated greens and well guarded bunks. I would definitely recommend this course.

I played Oak Valley with a friend. This is an Arnold Palmer Course. The layout is fantastic. The course is challenging with 6 Par 4's longer than 400 yards from the Blue Tees. The only negative I would say, they have some winter kill in the fairways and some of the Par 3 tee boxes are pretty beat up. Other than that, the rest of the course is in Great shape and fun to play. I look forward to my return.

Tot Hill Farm will expose you if you are not hitting it in the right location. This course is definitely Not for the Novice. But, if you are play well, its very rewarding. The scenery is very nice. I look forward to my return.
