ALERT!! Paid $35 green fee on Golf Now, but when arrived at the course found out the regular “winter rate” is only $30 (Jan-Mar)! The lady working the desk explained it after she overheard me talking about the “hot deal” I got from Golf Now. She said that they have contacted GN but, they have yet to change it. We both had a good laugh about it.

If you expect grass (not sand and weeds) on the golf courses you play, better look elsewhere! I literally live less than a mile from this course but, NEVER will play this course again! The reason(s), where do I begin?! Just look at the practice green next to the clubhouse and it will tell the story for the entire course...dry, dead, and damaged! No or patchy grass on the driving range , tee boxes or fairways! IF you do find a spot of grass, there certainly no first or second cut to identify! The greens are the worst of any I’ve seen in over 20 years of playing! There are huge dead/sandy spots or they are overgrown with crab grass! Bunkers- you’re lucky to find sand (or a rake) in any bunker and you won’t find any on your cart to fill divots either.
I honestly cannot understand how anyone could give this course an “ overall “ rating of more than one star! Even the $14 green fee you find on GN isn’t enough to inspire me to play here! Simply the worst course conditions of anywhere in the state!

Keith Hills GC is literally everything you need and/or expect in a golf course and the golfing experience! I play and practice at this course year round and I have NEVER found this course to be even remotely in poor condition! At any time of year and any point on the course (practice areas, tee box, fairways, greens, bunkers and cart paths) the conditions are superb! I easily give this place 5 STARS in all but 2 categories, “pace of play” and “off course amenities.” Pace of Play received 4 STARS because there are times when the GPS on the carts restrict your movement and require you to back your way out (you know what I’m talking about) which can often times be both annoying and slow the pace of play - but understandable for preserving the course and carts. Off Course Amenities got 4 Stars for a couple of reasons, no alcohol sales or “19th hole” (this Is the Campbell University course, a private Christian university), and while there are sufficient bathrooms and water points throughout the course, I’ve experienced better “off course amenities “ at courses that offer ice, a cold towel, cold apples or other little tidbits that set them apart. (it’s the small things right).
But it also has to be said, they have the ABSOLUTE BEST practice facility within 60 miles! A driving range, short game range, putting green and chipping green, all with tons of targets and accurate measurements to hone in your inner TW! And for $5, you get 60-70 balls - incredible!!
Lastly, as great as this course is, it is priced EXTREMELY reasonable! I often find green fees advertised in the Golf Now app for as little as $20!! What’s not to love!! Enjoy!

It’s an hour drive for me but, I remember this course when I played it last two years ago, always being in EXCELLENT shape and yesterday was no exception!! Green were green, plush and perfect speed! Well groomed on the fringes; bunkers had sand, rakes and were raked; and it was easy to identify each cut in the fairways! In addition to the course, they had a new clubhouse built that contained a grill and all the amenities you could hope for! Just can’t say enough about how great the course was and the price I paid through GolfNow ($18 pp) was a steal!!

Well worth the drive!
