Type: Semi-Private
Rates: Weekday $36-$49, Weekend $49-$59
Practice Area: Driving range with grass tees, two putting greens.
Description: This course is located just 5 minutes off I-85 near the University area. It features elevated tees and greens with many hills and rolling fairways.
Notes: Memberships offered as a part of the Carolina Trail set of courses.
B-Man's Take: This course doesn't offer many surprises. It's pretty much straightforward. The holes get tough mostly because of some large, severely sloped, elevated greens and too much brush in the woods causing balls to get lost. It does have 3 sets of Men's tees, ranging from 6100 yards to almost 7000. The forward White tees at 6121 yds offer plenty of challenge even with several par 4's under 340 and all four par 5's under 500. From any tee, the 528 yard par 5 3rd hole will be tough, with a ditch to carry for your second shot that turns uphill and to the right. The green was the toughest on the course -- a large, severely sloped dome. I like the 547 yard par 5 14th hole, which gives you a chance to reach in 2. All-in-all, a fun course to play.

- 4/6/10 - Update from Keith: I played the front 9 at The Tradition today for the first time. The course was in nice shape, the greens were smooth, not many ball marks, and they were much faster than the greens at Regent Park. They aerated about a month ago but I couldn't tell. The course overall was dry due to a few hot sunny days. The fairways were nothing to brag about but they were decent. Not a bad course for the rate, I would recommend a playing a round there. It's a fun course with large landing areas off the tee box and nice greens. I plan on returning to finish the back 9 soon and I'll leave another note then.
