By
Real Estate Agent with None


To start at the beginning:  Creek course at Carolina Trace Sanford, NC

Hole 2 sign Creek Course Carolina Trace Sanford, NC Continuing on after the first hole, the second hole of the creek course is a par 4.  Distance to the pin varies from 279 to 387 yards depending on the tee used.
The second hole is more or less a straight shot from the tee up a slight incline toward the hole.  Sand Traps are about halfway down the fairway to catch the shot that drifts to the left.  The hole is just out of sight for all but the eagle eyed.

Second hole Creek course Carolina Trace Sanford, NC The second hole is surrounded on three sides by bunkers to catch any inaccurate shots.  Homes just beyond the hole enjoy a lovely view of the course.
After the second hole, follow the cart path to the right to the third hole.
After crossing the street and following the cart path, the third hole of the creek course is a par 5 with a distance of 397 to 522 yards to the cup depending on the tee used. Sign for hole 3 Creek course Carolina Trace Sanford, NC
Tee shot from the 3rd hole Creek course Carolina Trace Sanford, NC The real danger on this hole is not readily apparent from the back tee locations.  The steep drop from the hill can be seen but what lies at the immediate bottom is hidden from view.  The hole is to the immediate left of the bunkers in view at the bottom of the hill. You will want the first shot to stop just before the hill drops steeply.  Avoid the sand trap to the left for the first shot.
This photo taken at the bottom of the hill shows the hidden danger.  The tee is behind.  The second shot should stop just short of the canal or just after it (but before the sand trap).  Hit the ball wrong and you get a bonus fishing trip!  This canal is formed where Carr Creek empties into Lake Trace.  The hole is beyond the middle bunker on a TINY green.
Hopefully you miss the first set of bunkers, the canal, and the second set of bunkers and make par!
Homes behind the trees to the right and behind the hole are in Laurel Thicket.

Onto hole #4:  Hole 4
