I'll make no joke about it. I really don't have a lot of free time during the week, especially during the busy season from May until September. On the other hand it's important to get in some R&R so that you are a better agent for your clients.
So, I did just that yesterday and just uploaded the pictures into a slideshow to show what a truly incredible community it is and is becoming. I wrote previously about the Parade of Homes in October 2007 when the golf course was just opening up. And, just this week I visited the only all green community in the Triangle. Hasentree is also a community that "thinks green" The Family Activity Club opened 5/24/2008 and has proved to be very popular with the new residents. So, my focus today is to let you know about the great amenities and the golf course at Hasentree.

Back to my golf game! Kelly and I died laughing on the practice greens. I hit a "birdie" before we even teed off. Well, not pun intended - it was a real bird. Now on to my putting skills. I'm left handed but I play golf right handed. For better or worse putting is an issue. On the other hand, I must admit I was really impressed with the staff at
Hasentree. They were so warm and inviting. I fealt like I was at home and I hadn't even teed off!
I also observed that Hasentree isn't designed to beat you over the head-it's a neighborhood golf community. By today's standards, it's not overly long-7056 yards from the tips but Fazio has beefed up the course with plenty of sandtraps to lure you in. Hasentree is also using the same sugary white sand found at Augusta National and in only three other North Carolina courses. As I stated, the greens were beautiful and they had staff at every hole making sure everything was manicured and up to "par".
If you are thinking of buying land or a home in Hasentree don't forget to work with a buyers agent in the area that represents your needs!
Did you play in the tournament? I will bet it was a blast to be in. I have played some neat courses, but I will bet this tops them. I have even been down at Pine Hurst.
