Good course, in pretty good shape. For the money can’t beat it. Just one or two holes with a dead patch on the greens. Otherwise greens in great shape. Would play here again for sure!

I was there with a friend at the driving range only. I bought two small buckets of balls for $5 each. The staff was friendly. The only suggestion I would have is to have yard markers on the range. They did have multiple flags to aim at however. I enjoyed my time there and plan on returning.

Really fun design and overall good condition. A bit of hardpan spots, but it's been fairly dry I've heard.As others have said, the carts don't have GPS, unless they cut you off in the middle of some of the fairways, which is annoying. Their posts to show where and where you can't drive aren't very accurate.
Player’s Ridge was designed by acclaimed golf course architect Karl Litten. North Carolina is known for providing excellent golf course terrain and that’s just what you’ll find at Player’s Ridge located near Hickory, NC.
Player’s Ridge reopened for full play in 2020. The course is a full-length 18-hole course and is built on rolling terrain bordered by hardwoods and evergreens.
You’ll find ample room off the tee, so a driver can be used on most holes. The challenge comes from the uphill, downhill, and side hill lies. The greens also present a challenge due to its uneven terrain.
In an effort to provide the finest putting greens in the area, we used a new strain of grass on our greens. It’s called Sunday Bermuda grass.
