  My 4th time playing here.
  I played in October of 2024 and not too many changes since then.
  It’s still a fun and challenging course.
  In the Uwharrie Mountains, it sits at about 800 feet of elevation
  This creates some dramatic elevation changes with elevated tee boxes and greens.

  Our foursome played on Memorial Day Monday so it was very busy and resulted in a slow pace of play at 5 1/2 hours.
  It was overcast and we got a little rain but we brought our rain gear so we managed to get through 18 holes.

  Since this was my fourth time playing in 4 years, I had some course knowledge
  which made a big difference, especially on #11, 452 yard par 5. It’s a blind shot until you’re about 200 yards out and then you can see the edge of the pond that juts out from left to right. You have a decision to make. Go over the water or play to the right & avoid the pond on your left and have 200 yards of open fairway to the pin. It’s a large green so a well placed shot will give you a great birdie opportunity.

  Number 15 is the #1 handicap hole, it’s a 375 yard Par 4. The entire right side of the fairway slopes from right to left. There is very little flat fairway here so you are challenged to make an accurate shot off the tee. Too far left and you are on the lowest part of the fairway with no view of the elevated green from about 120 yards in. It’s a smallish undulating green. This hole will challenge every aspect of your game.

  They have a very nice driving range and practice putting area with a dedicated chipping green.

  Best to play here in the fall when you get some excellent leaf color and cooler temperatures.

  I would play here more often but it’s a 40+ mile trek through Charlotte traffic but it’s worth it.
