Tot Hill Farm Golf Club

When we got there they had us tee off on hole 10. The back half of the course was beautiful. Great greens and fairways. Then we got to the front nine and saw why they started us on the back. Almost all the greens were in miserable shape and there was no warning or acknowledgement from the course Staff about it. They even put flags in the middle of the fairway to make makeshift holes. This experience completely ruined my game. They charged me full course money for a course that wasn't worth half what I paid. I will not be going back and I will not be using Golf Now anymore, they failed to make sure the course was in playable shape.

The course layout was great and under normal circumstances, this would have been a great round. However, the greens are in bad shape (the course staff admitted as much) and having bad green conditions takes away from the overall enjoyment of the round. The staff is taking measures to appease current players but I plan to wait until at least November before coming back to Tot Hill Farm. I will definitely be back…just not for a few months.

Played this course in late July 2021 and was blown away at the layout and the course conditions. The "clubhouse" leaves quite a bit to be desired. It's a double wide trailer with nothing more than what you might find at your local convenience store in regards to food. Bathrooms are maybe a little nicer than said convenience store. Despite the lackluster clubhouse I could not wait to get back simply because of the layout and the conditions; however, upon my return yesterday we showed up to find out that they had COMPLETELY LOST the greens on the front side in the last month or so. I've putted out of bunkers that were smoother surfaces than what we had yesterday. There was no mention of this when I booked my tee time online so we showed up and they charged us full price. Their consolation offer of a bucket of range balls was appreciated didn't exactly quell my disappointment. Such a travesty to have a tremendous layout go to waste with poor maintenance. Fairways, tees and the surrounding areas all looked fantastic but the greens were absolute toast. It'll be a while before I try this one again unfortunately.

Got hill farm course was the best course around. I don’t know what happened to it but it was terrible yesterday. Prices are high course was ruff shape and they don’t have food to buy.

Let’s call a dud, a dud. While always an “interesting” layout, that no longer makes up for unputtable greens. Either fix them or close. I know, I know….new owners soon. Yada, yada, yada. That’s too valuable land to try and salvage a struggling layout.

Great course and layout. They lost the greens - not putt-able currently. Go for the overall experience. Full rates too high for condition of greens.

A brilliant layout that is super fun. The fairways and bunkers are in good shape. They’ve lost the front side greens. This course is brilliant, but the shape is a travesty. So unfortunate that they let the greens go so poorly.

Booked on Golfnow
No indication the greens had been too dressed
Guy said it was 8 days prior upon arrival but most greens had NO grass
And seemed to have been lost
I took pics. Worst greens I’ve ever been on in 30 years

Fairways good, greens good, tee boxes ok. Layout one of a kind. Short but very difficult, not for high handicap players. Took 5 plus hours as the foursome in front all shot over 100. Very hot with no beverage cart in sight but there was water on course although it was hot. Cart paths horrendous and price high. I love this course but for the price the amenities are lacking. Lots of fun if you can play but expect a long thirsty day.

Very nice course. Difficulty level high. Greens in good shape need some work. Sand traps don’t exist. Not much for food or drinks. Need drink carts and need to stay open longer in the snack bar. Layout is awesome of course.

Great course and nice pace of play. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were all in great condition. Look forward to another round on this track.

Amazing combination of basic North Carolina backyard condition as the rough area yet the fairway and greens are top notch. It is distinctly North Carolina. Only course I've ever played where next to the cart path and all the rough area is just like everyone's backyard..bare, rocky, hardpan, small fescue with wild weeds..the kind of cow pasture you don't want to play on. Yet the fairway and greens are as good as an semi-private you'll ever play.

Layout is undeniably unique. Every hole has it own characteristics. Each hole has it own club selection. Almost to the point of "goony" golf in places with I personally absolutely love. Something different to remember a course versus hit hard and straight to have a wedge to the green. This layout is not that. The greens are 3 tier is certain spots. Love it, love it, love it.

With that said I'll never go back. The staff is best left alone. I called yesterday to inquire about pricing and said I am a single player, can play 18 in an hour and half if no one holds me up. Can I come at 5pm? Was told they don't make tee times after 4, Ok...can I just show up and get out there, even if it's just for 9? Reply was I can't put you down and I can't tell you if you can get out there or not. I said I'm coming from an hour and half away and I just need to know before I come am I going to be allowed to play? Was told "Buddy I just make minimal wage here I can't tell you what to do. I'm saying out last tee time is 4pm and if you show up after that I don't know if you'll go out or not".

So from there I booked a hot deal for the next day on Golf Now. Work came in this morning that had to be done so I knew I wouldn't get there in time. I fully understand the course gets nothing off the hot deals so I offered to come later and pay the difference. Same guy as yesterday replied "You have to contact Golf Now and have them cancel and make a completely new reservation with us." I said I don't mind playing just nine because I know hot deals are non cancellable. The guy replied no once again. So when I said ok so it seems since I can't arrive 2 and half hours or so late and play only 9 instead of 18 then I'm just screwed out of what I payed. The guy on the phone immediately started jerking back and said we're not screwing you because you paid Golfnow not us. The only way we're going to change your time is you make a completely new reservation with us. Luckily Golfnow took care of it and I ended up paying the difference.

If I didn't reach such great reviews of the course...and those reviews are accurate it is a tremendous course...I would have not went simply because of the guy making minimal wage in the pro shop that obviously doesn't want to be there. When I showed up at the time I said I would be there there were 5 cars in the parking lot. There was no starter at the bag drop so I didn't even bother checking in. I loaded up my bag on the cart on went to the first hole. I finished my round in an hour and 45 minutes and there were two other cars besides me when I left.

Play the course. Worth the drive if you want a unique experience. Avoid the pro shop guy if you can. I hope he finds a job he's happy at since he doesn't want to be there.

Always a fun time here at the tot
Staff has always been top notch
Every time
Course in nice shape
A good value also
Will return!

Great course and outstanding layout. Definitely a Stranz course with shot placement crucial to having a decent round. Everything was in great shape and we had a great time!
