Forest Creek Golf Club (South)

Rated highly by Hole19 golfers, Forest Creek Golf Club (South) is a semi-private Tom Fazio design in Southern Pines, North Carolina, United States, that opened in 1996 to immediate recognition — Golf Digest named it the third-best new residential course in the country, and Pinehurst Magazine ranked it the second-best golf experience in the Pinehurst area. The 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches to 7,067 yards across rolling terrain of sandy soil and pine forests. Practice facilities include greens that roll as true and as fast as the North or South Course, plus a short-game area replicating on-course conditions from sand and around the greens. The Grand Dining Room hosts special events and offers lake views, a veranda, and outdoor dining areas. A fully-stocked bar in the Men's Locker Room rounds out the clubhouse — the locker room itself ranked #13 on Golf Digest's list of America's 50 Best.
