I played the course a few days ago. hadnt been a drop of rain in the area for 2 wks in late June and the course was in great shape toee to green. The greens however, either hadnt been cut that day (i suspect) for fear of drying out, or the grass here grows faster than any i have ever seen. if the greens were more closely mowed, i would have given it 4 stars. but its tough to make any putts when they are rolling less than 8 or 9 on stimpmeter. they may also keep em like this to keep their clientel happy?? pro shop and snack bar dinky, service below average, but prices on a saturday afternoon to walk were $30, and course in good shape. tough layout, esp from the blacks where i play. If you are a mid handicap, enjoy your round from the white tees. There are tight fairways and lots of trouble, more on the front than the back nines. local knowledge helps here on what to hit off of the tee and where to aim, but all in all, a decent golf experiences. Pluses: course condition, challenging layout, price; Minues: no beverage cart on a weekend afternoon, slow greens.

I played the course on a Sunday morning in Dec - after some heavy rain - so it was not in the best condition. The course is ok. Not too long or challenging - as reflected in the low slope rating. (Only 5377 yards from white tees so I would recommend playing off the blue or black tees if you are looking for a more challenging experience.) The bar/restaurant has a rather limited menu - but a decent selection of beers! Prices were a little high - but the bar staff was very friendly. The reason I give it a 2* is that they apply a rule that really irks me. On the day I played they were applying a "carts on path only" rule - which was totally understandable given the wet conditions. What irked me is that, given the cart path only rule, I asked if I could walk instead of taking a buggy. I was informed that this was not allowed and that I must pay the 15$ (per person) buggy charge. I can understand the "pace of play" argument when carts are allowed on the course - but this does not make sense when it is cart path only. So, only 2 stars.

If you are looking to play golf near the Durham County line on Highway 98 I would suggest the Crossings before I suggest Falls Village. The Crossings is a little more wide open so you wont struggled nearly as much getting out of the tee box. That said, some of the second shots at the Crossings are very difficult. If you are not a good ball striker you could end up struggling on these approach shots. The greens are average but not great. The layout has a few doglegs so be away of the fact that you will need to be able to curve the ball both ways. If you hit a draw or a fade predominantly you can find a way to play it. If you are not consistent with your drives this course will be a challenge. There are a few holes that have water around them on this course as well.

I have been golfing here for over 10 years. Last two months the greens have been very spongy and inconsistent. Pitch marks, even ones you repair dont heal. Before someone says "its the weather" drive 2 miles down the street to FAlls Village. Greens are firm and true. Cant understand why they cant get the greens better when Falls Village right down the street, with the same weather condition has firm and true greens. Approach shot at Falls barely leaves a pitch mark. Here is what the USGA says "If core cultivation and thatch reduction tactics are forgone or are significantly reduced, the putting surfaces will be slow, spongy, and not roll true." The do plug the greens but trust me saying you plug is like saying you cook. There is good and bad.

Pros: The Crossings is affordable and in pretty good shape. Its not very long and not overly challenging. It rarely gets backed up to where you cant get on. A decent craft beer selection (as well as corporate light beer) is available in the snack bar. The staff are friendly. Cons: They dont have a driving range. The pro shop has a very limited selection of balls, clubs, gloves, apparel, etc. Im not a member, but it doesnt look like this place is where you want to join if youre looking to make lots of friends and participate in lots of member events. They do have tournaments, but I dont ever see large groups of guys hanging out or playing together.

The posts about the attitude of the employees I didnt experience. Three of us played 18 holes and we couldnt be happier with the service we received. A few of the greens have some spots that need attended to but the course in general was a lot of fun. When we hit the turn we wanted a quick bite to eat. The guy was more than courteous and volunteered to get one of our playing partners the chicken fingers he wanted in a short amount of time. The course is challenging and I lost a few balls but it was definitely a course I want a rematch on! We had a great experience and we cant wait to go back.

The elevation changes on this course were outstanding. The fairways are coming in nicely, the greens were firm & rolled true.The staff was friendly, green fees are a good value and it was a very enjoyable golf outing. To comment on the previous rating, I would agree that high handicappers. 24+ play from the whites. Im a 15 handicap, and may have struggled on this course from the blues. I think the greens were running faster than 9 on the stimpmeter as I had a few conservative putts that kept giving. I would recommended this course to anyone in the area.

I have never had bad experiences with the staff here as noted in some of the other reviews and have played here a few times. The elevation changes are nice. There is water in play on a few of the holes as well. Overall, not a bad course, but not one of the nicest you will find either. Would be nice if they had someone around to marshall the course and monitor pace of play, we were slowed brutally by the group in front of us my last trip here. Luckily they called it a day after the first 9 holes.

The staff here, particularly the management, should consider retiring to pursue a field not involving customer service. They are extremely rude, made slanderous claims regarding my husbands character, and they will NEVER have our business or our recommendation again. The course itself is decent; its generally well-maintained, but nothing special. NOT worth the treatment or the underhanded behavior. We will be taking our business down the street to Falls Village!

The crossings is a short but challenging course. Has some tight holes but the greens are usually pretty consistent and roll true. Island green on the back 9 is always a real test for your nerves. Great staff and carts are still relatively new. No driving range , has small putting and chipping area that works just fine. Great finishing hole, downhill par 4. It gives you a great chance with ending on a good note....which is a rare thing sometimes.
