This is wooded course that requires a variety of well placed shots in order to shoot well. There are a few holes that require adjustment for elevation change and several water holes that require players to calculate risk when making their shot selection. The holes surrounding the lake are often compromised from heavy rain and unable to be played, which is unfortunate. There are only a handful of par 4s and 0 par 5s, resulting in fairly clustered scores. This course is beautiful, but slightly overrated, as the signature water holes are often unplayable after rain.

Fantastic course. Great mix with mostly wooded holes but still having some places you can actually throw hard driver shots. Lots of tight lines with relatively unforgiving rough, but basically all fair results off the tee. Water in play on 4 holes, with bail out routes for ams on all but one. Great course makes you make choices and commit.

I see why this course is #1 in North Carolina. The entire course sits inside a beautiful forest of mature trees. Most of the under growth has been cleared making for a fun experience. The course is easy to navigate and each hole has signage. 4 holes are designed on the edge of Harris Lake with two of them needing to hit a gap first. So, accuracy is greatly needed. The holes were designed fairly giving you adequate gaps on most holes with the exception of hole 8, a short diabolical hole with the basket perched up near the lake. Overall, a must play when in North Carolina. A beautifully designed wooded course on rolling terrain. I enjoyed myself immensely.

Nice course with well manicured fairways. Lots of water to contend with in creative ways as well as deliberate lines you have to hit. Its interesting to have a nuclear reactor in your view throughout ... show more ›

Nice course with well manicured fairways. Lots of water to contend with in creative ways as well as deliberate lines you have to hit. Its interesting to have a nuclear reactor in your view throughout the course - this is a major strike against the course. High tension power lines are invasive enough and would easily cause a review to not get an A so when there is a HUGE nuclear reactor in view frequently I can not give this course an A. As far as playing it, it was an enjoyable course but the novelty of the power plant only goes so far and then its just intrusive.
