Stopped by Saddle Creek Resort last week for a few days and was treated to unlimited golf on a nice, well maintained course, good food/service, and a relaxing visit. The course is a bit below it's normal high standard mostly due to budget cutbacks but the layout still keeps the locals and travelers (like myself) coming back for more. Several sets of tees for all levels and the greens are in great shape. Fairways have some bare areas as does the rough but still a substantial challenge ... and with the stay and play package, a great deal.

I have played this course at least once a month this year, and I think it is in better shape than it was three months ago. Additional water has avoided the dreaded dry areas, and has only created a few wet spots. The greens are in excellent condition and get faster as the day dries them out. Great pro shop staff, and excellent bar and grill.

CONDITIONS
Played 8/2/09 great conditions, especially for the summer heat (90 degrees+). There is some puddled areas as they are probably overwatering some parts. Best part are the greens so smooth and fast. Fairways are also in great shape with plenty of sod (so easy to take a nice divot). Rough very playable. Sand is a bit hard and not fluffy.

Played from the blues and didn't play long as the key to scoring here is all short game and putting. Keep it below the whole and try to approach the greens from the best angle (so play your tee shot carefully). A few difficult holes so don't try to be a "hero" on the tough ones and instead attack the easier ones. Multiple pin placements can severely alter the difficulty/distance of the approach shot.

Excellent course not much play during week, fairways excellent, greens smooth as silk a must play if your in area. nice practice area, five sets of tees also combo tee, blue and white and red and gold... Continue »

Great golf course! Very challenging with plenty of sand and water hazzards to avoid. Greens are first rate and very undulating and extremely fast. Everything about Saddle Creek is tailored to make your golfing experience an enjoyable one. The restrautant is perfect for a pregolf meal and their food is fantastic! The practice range at Saddle is great especially when your hitting new Titleist NXT off the turf to assorted flag placements. The only down fall is the green fees are alittle high. But all in all it's a great experience and you won't be disappointed.

Got off as a single but unfortunately I was behind many 4somes but still played in a little less than 4 hrs. Guys in the pro shop were great, the starter on the other hand was a little rude. I played from the tips and I don't think this course is all that difficult as long as you're putting the ball in play. I think the holes offer some interesting choices off the tee. I really liked the speed of the greens, they were fast and the putts rolled true. People do need to repair their ball marks though. The tee boxes for the black were a little of a let down. Seemed to have a little more sand than I was expecting. It also seemed like the fairways were a little wet but overall in good condition. The upsetting part of the round was getting to the 16th tee and seeing them aerifying the fairway, I mean 3/4th of the fairway was littered with the plugs. The other single I played with played here a couple of times before and said this was probably not the best conditions he has seen it in, probably just due to the wear and tear of the summer. I really liked the layout of this course, every hole seems to be by itself and there doesn't seem to be many houses on top of the course.

Saddle Creek is a great test of your golfing prowess. Played today on the back half of the "Bump Back" promotion that "The Creeks" (Saddle & Greenhorn) combined to promote...played Greenhorn last month. The staff at Saddle are very courteous and strive to make your golf experience the best you can have. The practice facility is fantastic. The greens look a bit funny with multiple types of grass there, but the roll is pretty true. They were hard today...something a few squirts of water would take care of. Fairways were lush, sand a bit wet under the top layer, but the tee boxes were first-rate. This is a great course so if you can get there, do yourself a favor and play it. Even better if you can do the "Stay-and-Play". Now...if they'll just bring back that golf & dinner special they ran a couple of years ago!

Very nice as always. Starter very friendly course in excellent shape for early spring, fairways and greens will be plush in about two weeks, greens already excellent. This is a must play in N.C.

Found Saddle Creek resort on a Google seach while planning a road trip up north and gave it a chance. First, the course: I'd compare it to Strawberry Farms ... well maintained, challenging (4 tee boxes to choose from), and the greens were slick. Must be gorgeous in the spring. Move it to the OC and you'd be paying a buck and a half on the weekend (sic). You will not be disappointed, a promise.

Now the resort: they have unattached 'bungalows' along the first fairway that are fairly new and well appointed, priced at $230+/day. Full kitchen, living room, the whole nine yards (just put a plasma in there and it's better than home). Supreme service, great restaurant, practice facility, separate spa (weight machines, pool, tennis, etc.). I stayed 3 days and never left ... did I mention unlimited golf (47 holes one day)? Sweet deal ... good to take a golfing babe or buddies. I'll be back for sure.
