Our 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 (

Great 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.

It'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.

My teenage daughter recently competed in a Peggy Kirk Bell event at your golf course and was fortunate enough to win the tournament. She had a great experience and really enjoyed the course, which is why she wanted to return and practice there in preparation for an upcoming event. While we were there, a member of the clubhouse staff approached me and questioned what time we were playing, where we lived, and then informed us that unless we were members, she could not practice there. I understand and respect the club's policies regarding access to the course and practice facilities. What was disappointing, however, was the manner in which the interaction was handled. My daughter is a young golfer who left the event excited about the course and eager to continue developing her game. Experiences like this can discourage young players who are passionate about golf and looking for opportunities to improve. As golf professionals, one of the goals is often to help grow the game, especially among junior golfers. Encouraging young players and making them feel welcome can have a lasting positive impact on their development and enthusiasm for the sport. I hope this feedback is received in that spirit and can help create a more positive experience for future junior golfers.

Free 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.
