Not bad for an apartment course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 20, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Nice, well-maintained property.
+ Surprisingly decent short course with a variety of shots.
+ Conveniently located just off of I-40.
+ Management is good about letting you play if you call ahead or stop by the office.
+ Hardly a destination course, unless you are a course bagger, but would be cool to have if you lived there.

Cons:

- Many holes are very short, and none are really memorable.
- Navigation is confusing and you will need a map to find the holes.
- Overhanging branches have obstructed many of the shots and could use some pruning.
- One of the baskets is tilting precariously.
- Tee pads are quite short.
- Some of the shots come uncomfortably close to roads, parking lots, or apartment buildings.

A quick play, right off the highway! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 16, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice course for those living in the Alamance Reserve Apartment complex. It would be nice to have this to practice on right outside your door.
Very easy access off I-40/85 in Burlington. Two quick turns off the University Dr exit and you are there.
Baskets are in good shape. Nice yellow bands that can be easily seen. Course flows around the complex, using the most of the open space.
A few good holes - 1,2, 7, 8 and 9. None are too long but make you shape shots.

Cons:

Doesn't finish near #1. #8 and #9 (which could be played in either order) finish right at the entrance. It would be nice if they could use the creek area to get back to #1.
#1 is past the clubhouse/pool and No Trespassing signs. It is down the hill to your left, I parked in the closest lot.
Tee pads were only 6 landscaping stones, but you don't need much of a run-up on these holes.

Other Thoughts:

The course is actually labeled on the tee posts as Hunter's Ridge DGC. It is in the Alamance Reserve apartment complex, across the highway from the Alamance Crossing shopping center. This is an easy, quick round right off the highway if you are passing through the Triad and Triangle.
Gotta shout out to #6, had my first Ace on this 125 ft hole. Will always remember this course and that hole.

Quick and easy fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 9, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-extremely well maintained
-at least 3 beautiful holes
-a fast little course
-very nice tee signs
-one block off the highway!

Cons:

-too easy, not a tough hole on the course, and most are beyond simple
-ends on the opposite side of the complex from the beginning
-hard to navigate the first time
-built as an afterthought and feels it

Other Thoughts:

I spoke to the management before playing and they confirmed there is no plan to add any more holes. It looks like there is a little more land for a few more holes, but I guess its not to be. In any event, this is a very short, simple course that won't trouble anyone who's played very long. Everything is listed par 3 but holes 1-6 could all legitimately be par 2's. If you are looking for a quick round and have a half hour this will certainly do. To be sure several holes are gorgeous, especially 1, 2, and 8. However, the course winds through and around the apartment complex, and there are certainly some spots that could be dangerous to passersby. Hole 4 is a hard hyzer that throws directly over the fenced-in dog-walking area. It wouldn't normally be a big deal except they sat a picnic table for folks to sit on while their dogs did whatever right in the line of fire making it unsafe. Hole 5 is unacceptable- its a blind spot near the sidewalk where you can't see the basket and the possibility of hitting someone is very high. Hole 6 isn't much better. Holes 7 and 9 have the potential to hit cars entering or leaving the complex. But all in all its not too shabby if you don't have much time to play.

A Cool Little Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 5, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

A great, fun little nine holer winding through and around an upper crust apartment community of friendly and helpful folks.

Cons:

It appears that maybe the funding ran out, as number nine finishes up on the far side of the complex from number 1. There appears to be land enough to loop a second nine back toward the start of the course.

Other Thoughts:

This nine makes a great companion course to Beth Schmidt Park's nine hole layout less than a mile north on the same side of University Drive.
