This course was sculpted out of the mountain terrain. It is fair for both intermediate and beginning golfers, yet still an enjoyable test for the scratch golfer. The scenery is magnificent on this course. The fairways are narrow, and the medium-sized greens are fast. Water hazards (creeks, waterfalls, and ravines) come into play on many holes, and the terrain is hilly so it can be strenuous to walk. The most picturesque hole is #9, a 203-yard, par 3, offering a 180-degree view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This dramatic par 3 drops in elevation as much as 125 feet to a large green that is well bunkered. This is the home course of designer Tom Fazio. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 6th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 7th best for 1997-98.

Champion Hills - great place to play or to live, Feb 04, 2004

reviewer: Anna and Larry from Atlanta, GA USA

The course is spectacular, both in scenery and in the variety of play that can be had -- from novice to expert. Tom Fasio did a great job, using natural elements beautifully. Watch out for the 4" rough! It is lush and can eat your balls so magically that they can NOT be found. Course management is excellent. Hazards are well maintained as are the fairways and greens. Most of the T-boxes are elevated and the views in the valleys include small waterfalls, hardwoods, mountain laurel and rhododendron covered hills with mountain vistas all around. The clubhouse offers wonderful sunsets and terrific food. Excellent additional amenities like a health club, tennis, practice areas. VERY nice bungalos for lease, nearby B&B, charming small town. Close to Asheville, Biltmore House, Grandfather Mountain, Greenville/Spartanburg airport, Appalachian Trail... We really love this area and this particular course.

Liberty Country Club
"Great Condition and Layout"
This course has a beautiful layout and hole construction. Similar to the old "country club" style courses, this smaller operation club gets the job done with what must be a low budget because the course is just in outstanding shape. The bent-grass fairways look good all year round and maintain their grass even in the hot summer afternoons of August. They also had great deals available for play during the week and for people wanting to have an outing. I'm definitely going to play at the Liberty Country Club again.

Rolling Hills Golf Club
"Now OPEN TO PUBLIC! Challenging and fun!"
Rolling Hills is a great course for the intermediate to advanced player with its challengingly longer holes and strategically placed hazards, yet is fun for the beginner player with closely placed tee boxes that avoid most water hazards. The contour of this beautiful Longwood property yields anything but the typical FLAT Florida experience. For instance, the par 5, 14th takes you from the back tee box across a 180-yard water hazard to the first landing area, which originates below a 6% grade approximately 65 feet below the green. Other holes leave your second-shot approach to the green completely blind, unless your tee shot carries past 200. The dogleg left par 4, 9th, takes you up and over a large hill and drops 35 feet to the green protected by both water long and sand short. All par 5's are barely reachable in two, giving even long drivers a slim chance at eagle. The par 3's, though most are short, have tight greens and close O.B. markers. Water comes into play on a handful of holes. Eleven holes are nearly straight with a few very tight fairways. Some dog-leg holes require perfect tee shots or accurate fades to reach the green in regulation. The course grass could be greener and the fairways better managed, but at $35 per weekend morning round in peak season for FL residence, I think Rolling Hills is a great value. Pros: driving range, solid greens, fun course. Cons: No refreshment cart the day I played, a couple neglected fairways and too many lost balls on the 12th!

Idle Creek Golf Course
"Poor Design"
This course is in need of reconstructed greens, they slope away from the tee. Some holes have trees in fairways, not user freindly at all.

The course was reasonably picturesque. The greens were in poor shape. They don't include range balls in the fee.
