Description

Mike Strantz's Tobacco Road is adventurous, photogenic, and utterly original - natural sandscapes, towering waste areas, and bold green contours. The par-71 asks for committed lines off the tee but leaves plenty of room to play angles if you think ahead. Sightlines and depth perception are part of the puzzle; locals know which targets to pick and when to throttle back. Despite the intimidation factor, there's ample width and multiple ways to score. It's a bucket-list stop that rewards creativity and nerve.

If you are worried about playing this place in the winter. Don’t. Go ahead and book it now. It’s in amazing shape. It’s fun, and the staff are amazing. If you’re visiting ask the cart guy Ryan about golfing around North Carolina. Turns out he loves golf between Myrtle beach just like I do. I knew it was going to be good when he brings up Brick Landing. The people, layout, greens, and bunkers are all the best there is to offer. Thank you Tobacco Road for an adventure around the Sandhills. If you’re reading this review do yourself a favor and just go for it.

Would give 10 stars if able. I've played Pebble, Old Course, Kapalua, Carnoustie, and some other heavy hitter courses. I'm not flexing, just providing some background. Tobacco Road is among the top 5. If I shed historical cachet, and being honest with myself, Top 3. It is an amazing venue. Everything is just perfect. Love the giant waste areas, the odd-shaped and challenging greens, and the tee boxes being marked with farm implements. The spicy dog at the turn also added to the experience. Clubhouse is perfect for the course and the staff were friendly. I couldn't give you a favorite hole. I need to come back and figure that out. All of them were amazing. Probably the par 5 with the hidden green next to the Tobacco Road sign, if I had to pitch one out. We can't wait to go back again. This is my 4th Strantz course, and with Tot's Farm, one of my very favorites.

Definitely worth playing! Some holes with blind shots can be annoying but it's the character of the place. Greens were fast. Staff was nice. Lot of elevation changes from hole to hole.

Absolutely amazing course. Risk/reward is insane. It's like Salvador Dali made a golf course. It was a bucket list course and now that I have played it I can only say it lived up to every expectation, even exceeded many. Staff was fantastic, friendly, informative, and kind. I will be back next time I get back stateside. DO.NOT.MISS.THIS.COURSE.

In the Top 5 of best golf courses I've ever played. The Fairways and greens were immaculate and greens were rolling perfect. First time playing here but my playing partner has played it several times so he was able to guide me on where some shots needed to land. Definitely playing again. Staff was great. Great golfing experience.
