Willow Creek Golf Course
Played On 03/19/2024Can't wait for Spring!
1st time playing, thoroughly enjoyed the course. Greens are n exceptional condition (Tifeagle).
Everything is still dormant.
Rarely was a lye n the Fairway too thin. This course is well managed.
Wlow Creek is now my favorite local course!
Belmont Lake Golf Club
Played On 11/02/2023Best Track on I95 in NC for the $$
I've reviewed this course several times, it's always exceptional. If I lived closer it'd be my home course.
There are only 2 things:
- No practice trap
- TOO MANY cup cuts on the greens. This was a problem when I first started playing, went away, and is back.
Belmont Lake Golf Club
Played On 11/02/2023Best Track Around!
I played 11/2/2023, fairways are still tight and at least 1/2 inch thick. Greens (Champion Bermuda), as always, are exceptional.
Brickshire Golf Club
Played On 10/06/2023Great track!
Brickshire is a really good course, in excellent shape, challenging and fair.
Choose from their many tee boxes to determine whether u want a serious challenge or an easy, uncomplicated round.
Dogwood Trace Golf Course
Played On 07/17/2023Great Muni!
Have been playing this course for several years and it has been consistently very good, at times exceptional.
Dogwood Trace is standing the test of time.
Belmont Lake Golf Club
Played On 07/12/2023Best in the Area
I absolutely love playing this course. If I live closer I would be a member.
(July 12th) The fairways are just starting to thicken up nicely. The greens were punched this week and still rolled true, can't wait to see what they'll be like next week:-).
Orange at University of Illinois Golf Course
Played On 05/13/2022Making the most of a flat terrain
Great work making a flat terrain challenging. The green complexes are challenging and demand good approach shots.
Fairways are impressive for this early n the year (May), super tight, 1/4 inch of turf. If these get a little tighter and an 1/8 - 1/4 inch is added, they'll be on par with TPC Sawgrass at tournament time.
Greens and fairways were hard and fast and most holes allowed 4 a bump and run. A very well hit approach would hold.
The Club At Viniterra
Played On 01/14/2022Never disappoints
Best fairways you'll find this time of year! Challenging course, you can easily use every club. If I lived closer, I'd seriously consider a membership.
Lake of the Woods Golf Course - Par 3
Played On 11/01/2021Superb Condition for November
Course is n great shape! I visit here a couple times/year and love it. The Fairway grass is a little sparce in the low areas, typical for this time of year.
Used every club n my bag today!
A good golf app is helpful if you haven't played here before. Fairway bunkers are well placed, the app will let you know where they are.
Suffolk Golf Course
Played On 10/23/2021Great Track
First time playing here, it's a fun course, but maybe not the 1st time you play it. We were fortunate to pair up with a couple locals who revealed hidden dangers. I couldn't get my golf app to load due to a weak cell signal ; given the location would have thought the Verizon signal would have been good - load before u go!
The fairways are a little thin/patchy but a good lie is within a couple feet.
Greens are good (Bermuda) and were fast. They're pretty firm and well hit shot is going to roll out some.
Only disappointment was the bunkers. Most are hard as rock. The firmness is disguised by a couple inches of sand. It's the inconsistency that's the problem. Give 'em a good test with your feet before hitting the shot.
Overall, I look forward to going back and getting some stink out. PS: #10 is a blind, double dogleg, leave the driver n the bag unless ur short off the tee.
Championship Course at Crosswinds Golf Club
Played On 10/04/2021GREAT course for the $
Thoroughly enjoyed playing here and look forward to playing again. Being my 1st time it's good to see the course is well marked and the cart path is continuous.
Traps/bunkers are well maintained. There are some waste areas that looked like bunkers on my app and led me to hit a different club off the tee - shouldn't have - they're not that close to the Fairway. 18 is one of these.
Fairways are n good shape and provide a good lie.
Greens: my favorite aspect of the course! They are not the best looking greens I've played BUT they roll true and hold a well hit shot. So many Bermuda greens don't consistently roll true - frustrates the heck out of me to hit a putt with an obvious break and it stays straight :(.
Lost 2 strokes to "1st time playing here" on 5 and 18. Looks like u can reach water (that didn't show on my app) on 5 - u can't. 18 looks narrow on the app and from the tee, it isn't. Hit driver.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Par-3 Course at Crosswinds Golf Club.
Belmont Lake Golf Club
Played On 09/27/2021Never disappoints!
This course is simply exceptional! It's going to be disappointing when it goes dormant, right now (late Sep 2021) the fairways are the best I've ever played. Ur ball literally sits right on top of the grass most of the time. Greens are receptive and roll true. Traps are in good shape. The sand is a little different than I'm use to, pretty easy to leave a ball in if you don't give it a good thump.
Roughs can be punishing (thick Bermuda) but the fairways are plenty wide.
A golf app is a necessity playing the 1st couple times to avoid trouble.
Brickshire Golf Club
Played On 09/15/2021Best condition this year
Played 9/15 and they were one week post aeration (5/8's) and the greens were rough. Ain't gonna gig the course for this necessary bit of maintenance. We instituted a 2 putt rule and roled on.
What I was most impressed with this time playing is the condition of the fairway - ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!!! Several times my ball was literally sitting on top of the grass.
Olde Beau Resort & Golf Club
Played On 08/28/2021Great course, excellent layout, AMAZING VIEWS
Love this course! Everything is in great shape, expecially the greens. The mountain views are absolutely wonderful. The fairways can be a little sparce in some areas but it's not a tournament, move the ball to good grass which is easy to find.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND a golf app and a range finder with slope for this place. There are SIGNIFICANT elevation changes on most holes.
PS: a tip for the last par 5 - hit your tee shot right of the rock in the fairway, you'll have a chance to reach in 2. Left of the rock is dead unless you're a slicer.
Brickshire Golf Club
Played On 07/23/2021Really good track
Played here a couple months ago and it is better now. Fairways are plush, greens are EXCELLENT! Roughs aren't so brutal that u lose a stroke, but will challenge you to hit a good shot.
Traps/bunkers are washed out due to excessive rain but are not unplayable . I chose to move my ball to playable area and found the sand to be good.
Don't let this deter u from playing here, you'll miss out on an wonderful golf course.
I played the adjacent course (Royal New Kent) about a month ago - Brickshire is in better shape.
Dogwood Trace Golf Course
Played On 07/14/2021Great course, excellent layout
Dogwood Trace continues to be one of the top Muni's inthe state! I think the regular price to play is a bit high for the area; I only book thru GolfNow for ~$30.
The practice facilities are top notch; more targets on the driving range would be nice--there are only 3.
RShaunSmith, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Dogwood Trace Golf Course.
Lake of the Woods Golf Course - Par 3
Played On 05/28/2021Great course, excellent layout
Love this course, it's a great layout and tough, especially for a Muni! Fairways are tight, roughs are thick. Greens are in excellent shape.
Personally, I think the rating and slope need to be updated, they are too low.
One downside - the traps: some are excellent, some are hard pan (which doesn't bother me), some have WAY too much sand. A member told me today that there was a local rule n place that you can take a free drop because they're working on them.
Brickshire Golf Club
Played On 05/13/2021Really good track
The fairways are a little thin, I'm sure they'll come in as it warms up. Slower groups were very good about letting faster groups play thru. Greens a super, best I've played this year!
Deer Run Championship at Newport News Golf Club
Played On 03/26/2021Post Aeration
The Newport News courses are normally fabulous, greens were pretty rough even for post Aeration. I prefer the old route, never like ending on a par 3

Carolina Springs Golf Club
Played On 03/15/2021Great condition for this time of year
Greens are in excellent shape, fairways are really good considering it's dormant.
