10 months agoOur annual golf trip with 12 guys played 36 at Carolina Trace (Creek in the morning and Lake in the afternoon) on 9/12, and we left very impressed. Price to play vs most places in the sandhills area was very affordable (

a year agoGreat course. I just have issues with all the hazards that go up and down the paths and fairways during early and late play. During those times, it's a public greenway/dog park. Would the player be responsible for any injuries of a dog walker or their pet if hit with the ball? Would the dog owners be responsible of any dog bites to a player? Keep that in mind while playing.

a year agoIt's really nice! Linen table clothes. Full bar and a kitchen. Clean bathrooms. There are cieling fans outside on the patio. Great customer service. 6/19/25 On this visit, I ordered the bacon wrapped steak filet, mashed potatoes, the vegetable medley that had zucchini, squash, red peppers, and a long island ice tea. The steak was cooked just the way I like it medium well. It was so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and flavorful. The vegetable medley was grilled to perfection and was really good. This was my 3rd time ordering their long island ice tea, which was consistently good and. Erin is awesome. And let the chef know my meal was so good. 6/20/25 On this visit, I ordered the plain wings and a pecan smoked old fashioned with woodford reserve. The plain wings were good, cooked not too hard. They would have been better with more season/flavor. The old fashion was good, but a little too strong for me.

3 months agoFree range, solid layout, wasn’t over crowded. Just wish they could take some of that lake water and water their course because it is hard and burnt out. I get we’re in a drought and it’s early in season but with a little more attention to fairways and tee boxes this place would be an absolute gem.

2 months agoThis was the worst golf course experience I’ve ever had. We booked through an agency and were scheduled to play 36 holes, only to arrive and find out our tee time had been double booked with another tournament. Instead of getting to play the two different courses we paid for, we were forced to replay the same course, which was incredibly frustrating and completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the clubhouse had no food and very limited beer available, and nobody warned us there would be no turn at 9. That meant we had nothing to eat or drink during a day that was supposed to be fully planned. We were also told we would be credited because the second course cost $60 more to play, yet we only received $20 back. On top of all that, they will not return our phone calls. The lack of organization, poor communication, and unwillingness to make things right made this an awful experience from start to finish. I would not recommend Carolina Trace to anyone.
