Almost Unbearable
I can handle some slow play. Especially if I am on a nice course and have no where to go.
Had a 2:03 start time and finished the round at 7:58. This is absolutely unacceptable anywhere. A 6 hour round at a place that costs $150 on the weekend. No ranger or starter in sight. Players yelling across the golf course (honestly I love players having a great time, but this is not what I expect for the price that they are charging).
This experience would have been ok at a $20 Muni. Because I simply would hav walked off the course after the 3 hour front nine.
I talked to the golf shop attendant at the turn and he just shrugged his shoulders and said that 3 hours for nine holes wasn’t too bad. Made it sound like this was common and routine at Carolina Trace.
I cannot recommend this place and would avoid it at all costs. Too many great options in the Sanford Pinehurst area and for that price, you could play Tobacco Road and have an awesome experience.
This course is awesome but expensive because its semi-private.
My first time looking at this course and it was challenging. Not to mention we had a windy day, with gusts up to 29 MPH. Greens were very receptive and fairways were nice. Will try to play again but with their seasonal rates it may be difficult. We played the LAKE course. Want to play the CREEK side but cant afford it.
They were out of gas for carts. The little snack area in the pro shop had very little selection. Course conditions were decent for winter time. Greens were good, they seemed spungy leaving large ball marks when hit.
Great Layout
Lakes course is in very good condition for the winter. Greens are a bit grainy but roll true. Nice, fine sand in the bunkers. Had a great time and will be back when it greens up and the wind isn't blowing 15+!!!
Great Course
There are actually two courses at Carolina Trace, the Creek Course and the Lake Course. I originally wanted to play the Creek Course but on Golf Now, there were ZERO tee times available for any time of any day on the calendar, so I played the Lake Course. When I checked in at the pro shop, they told me there was a “glitch” with Golf Now’s webpage. This is the second time this has happened in as many weeks. Carolina Trace, lean on Golf Now to fix their glitch. Golf Now, do better so golfers can sign up to play both of these courses.
Hidden Gem
Many people these two courses are private but they are not. I’ve played here a dozen times and the pace of play is always good. Great course layouts with plenty of challenging holes. Beautiful views throughout. Golfers are also able to dine at the club restaurant if they want to. Great value for the money.
A Pleasure to Play!
The Lake Course surpasses its billing! The course layout and maintenance are superb. We thoroughly enjoyed our round and will be back to play again. We definitely recommend this course to golfers of any skill level.
Amazing course even for the money
Great place and I will go here 10 times before I ever go back to Tobacco Road especially at their new rates. If you can get this for $150 or under do it. Under $100 you'd be insane not to
Awesome course
Course was in excellent condition for this time of year
Nice course
Layout is fine, some challenging holes, be prepared for some tricky chips and quick putts as greens are undulating.
Above Average for Winter but Pricey
Decent course condition for winter and recent heavy rain. Greens were real quick. Downside is the conditions and layout weren’t worth $80 for late Dec.
Nice course, but a bit pricy without a deal
We played this course for the first time, having gotten a hot deal on GolfNow. The pro-shop staff was extremely friendly when we checked in. We found the course to be in very good condition all around. Greens were in great shape. The course was challenging, but never unfair. There were four holes in particular that stood out as "signature" quality. The only thing that will keep us from playing with any frequency is the cost. Our Hot Deal came in at $80 per golfer and the regular price was something like $115. This was on a Friday, so not even weekend rates. With a more modest price, we'd play here a bunch.
Great course
The greens were in impeccable shape for this time of year. Course layout was gorgeous. I’ll be back!
