Recommend Course
A couple weeks and course will be better definitely good for this time of year
Essential day out
Enjoyed the course but the group in front of us was slow. They were two holes behind the group in front of them and we still had to wait after each shot.
Great course, conditions, staff, and value
The Challenge offers a great course layout, playing conditions, staff, and value.
Everyone on the staff is helpful, friendly, and professional.
They have gone the extra mile during the Corona Virus outbreak to ensure that the golfer's safety and health are top priority.
Playing conditions are outstanding, with some of the best greens in the area.
Value on Golf Now is terrific, better than courses that charge much more for green fees.
Come play the Challenge. It is on my must play list!
Great course coming into its own
It's been 15 years or more since I played the Challenge, and I'm glad I made the drive to get there. The course is beautiful and challenging (as the name suggests). They recently aerated the fairways/tees, so it was bumpy, but it was needed since they were pretty firm. The greens rolled beautifully, and the bunkers (other than one currently being filled) were perfect, even without rakes. My only complaint is the lack of a driving range. They only have a hitting net where you hit off mats into a large rectangular net. It's free, though, but only good for loosening up the swing. It's hard to tell if you're hitting shots well.
Respite from the house
Enjoyed the layout, Course has a bit of everything. Greens were excellent but fairways and tees were very firm with plenty of bare spots. I know it’s still early spring but way too many spots with just bare dirt. Will try again I when some of the grass has filled in.
Great conditions during COVID-19
Best course we have played in terms of conditions during this environment. Traps have been kept up, fairways have grass, greens are in great shape
Keep it in Play
They’re are some tight driving holes at the Challenge.. Greens were smooth but a little slow.. Can’t wait for the fairways to come in. Nice staff. Love the Golfnow rates !
Great Course
Have played this course many times. The only reason there’s a four star rating is the time of year and the course is in the process of making improvements. In the Summer
months this course is in great shape. The course is fair but can be a “Challenge “. Hence possibly the name. At this time the staff is taking every precaution necessary to insure adherence to health regulations regarding the covid 19 virus. Very impressive! Every time I have played this course the staff has been exceptional.
Shaping up nicely for spring
Challenge has been vastly improved in last few years. If you haven't played it recently suggest you give it a try.
greens are lookin nice!
greens in great shape!
sand is in hood condition also
Significantly improved
I had not played the challenge in several years due to poor course maintenance.
Today I was very pleasantly surprised by the improvement and will be back very soon.
Winter golf
I never played this course in the winter. All the grass was dormant but seemed very well-maintained and fun to play. We played on a Saturday and was able to play as slow or fast as we wanted as it was not very busy
Still early in the season but amazed at how great greens were
Great value, nice staff and the greens were super considering it was March 2nd and grass hasn’t really started to grow yet
Single golfer not welcome
This wasn't my first time at the Challenge golf course. I retired to Graham NC in 2015. I don't have any golf friends in Graham so I make a tee time and each time I am sent to the first tee to go play alone. Eventually I'm trapped between 2 groups. I usually wind up walking off course and wasting money. This course needs a starter and Rangers to keep play moving. When I arrived at hole 4 there were 2 foursomes waiting for the green. I won't attempt this course again . I now belong to a golf association and will play golf elsewhere.
I suggest the Golf Course try and place single golfers with 2 or 3 golfers to cut back on course congestion.
Challenge
Staff is very friendly. Fantastic course considering the winter conditions. Looking forward to playing when the fairways come out of dormancy.
Cheap but still a waste of money
Greens were extremely slow, and so was the pace of play. Not worth it
