Hole 1

Hole Name College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

From The Tee Many golf courses start out with an easy hole, one that provides a smooth transition from the driving range to the first tee. But the Lonnie Poole Golf Course isn’t one of them. The large sloping native bunker on the right side of the fairway forces the player to hit their tee shot up the left side. Driving it in the bunker is a mistake you don’t want to make. The second shot also should be played

From The Fairway The second shot also should be played up the left side of the fairway to about 100 yards where the undulating fairway levels out for a flat shot into the green.

On The Green Stay away from the right side the entire length of the hole and don’t let your approach shot carry over the green. It falls off sharply.

From The Tee The second hole doesn’t give much a of a reprieve. This long par 3 sports an enormous native bunker protecting the front right side of the green. So play left and let the slope feed the ball to the putting surface. The green is quite an achievement. It is the largest green on the golf course and has two distinct levels.

Hole Name Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity

From The Tee

From The Fairway The third hole is the #1 handicap hole and is a monster. This uphill dog-leg left is protected by an expansive natural bunker on the left side of the fairway and a forced carry native area and immense bunker upon your approach. The best strategy is to take what the hole gives you. Lay up on your second shot if necessary and try to get up and down for par. Bailing out long and left on your approach

On The Green The best strategy is to take what the hole gives you. Lay up on your second shot if necessary and try to get up and down for par. Bailing out long and left on your approach to the green leaves a reasonable up and down opportunity.

Hole 4

Hole Name L.A. Twisdale Family

From The Tee Ahhh!!! The fourth hole grants an opportunity to get one back that you gave up on the first three holes. But don’t let this short downhill hole fool you. If you get too aggressive with your tee shot, you just might have to wedge out of the trees as the fairway narrows substantially as you approach the green. Consider driving your tee shot to a comfortable yardage and then fire at the pin. This gre

From The Fairway If you get too aggressive with your tee shot, you just might have to wedge out of the trees as the fairway narrows substantially as you approach the green.

On The Green Consider driving your tee shot to a comfortable yardage and then fire at the pin. This green has very subtle breaks, so study from all sides before stroking your putt.

Hole 5

Hole Name Lynn W. Eury

From The Tee

From The Fairway A dogleg right, number 5 requires a quality tee shot. The landing area is uphill and obstructed from the teeing ground, so drive it down the left center of the fairway. Although the fairway is very wide, the further right you drive it, the greater the chance to be blocked out by a line of tall trees on your approach shot. The green is protected on the right side by a native bunker, so favor the le

On The Green The green is protected on the right side by a native bunker, so favor the left side with your approach. Chipping and pitching from the left side of the green will give you a good chance to get the ball up and in.

Hole 6

Hole Name Seby B. Jones

From The Tee This short, uphill par 3 features one of the more terrifying bunkers on the front nine. Make sure to consider the elevation change and prevailing headwind on the approach. It is always blowing harder than you can feel from the tee box. Presenting a large green with a false front on the front right side, over-clubbing will never hurt you as much as under-clubbing on number six. Leaving your approac

Hole 7

Hole Name Ed Weisiger Family

From The Tee

From The Fairway The aggressive player will try to blast a fairway metal or hybrid over the bunkers hoping for a hard release down to the green.

On The Green The seventh hole is a great par 5. It combines the need for distance and accuracy flawlessly. Well-placed native bunkers demand smart shot-making from tee to green. Be as aggressive as you want or play it safe. Either way, this hole can yield some birdies. The second shot is the key to success on number 7. The aggressive player will try to blast a fairway metal or hybrid over the bunkers hoping fo

Hole Name Bobby R. Lewis Family

From The Tee The eighth hole is an uphill par 3 with a very large pitched green. As one of the more well-bunkered holes on the golf course, the green is actually not positioned as you would think. When surveying from the teeing ground, the putting surface appears to be centered between the native bunkers, but in reality it winds uphill and to the left leaving a sharp fall off if you miss the green.

From The Fairway The final hole of the front nine requires a very precise tee shot. With a bunker on the right, the fairway angles slightly to the left towards the hazard across the cart trail. Once you find the fairway, the trouble doesn’t end. The deep green is guarded on the left and right by lengthy native bunkers. However if you carry the bunker on the right, your ball will feed and find the putting surface.

From The Fairway The tenth hole is a short par 4 requiring a tee shot down the left side of the fairway which grades sharply to the right. It is recommended to drive the ball to a comfortable approach distance in order to achieve the best chance of getting your second shot close to the hole. The climbing approach is protected by a magnificent but ominous bunker. Avoid the sand at all costs; you don’t want to leave

On The Green The tee shot on number 11 is the least of your worries; perfect placement of your second shot should be your goal. There are several bunkers safeguarding the rising approach from 150 yards in. Distance control will suit you well approaching the small green because short, long, left and right are all defended by bunkers and native grasses.

Hole 12

Hole Name John D. Love Family

From The Tee The downhill tee shot on #12 looks dramatic as the ball fades through the downtown skyline settling next to the harshly slanted large native bunker nestled on the left side of the fairway. This is another fairway that narrows significantly the closer you get to the green. So, a layup to the perfect yardage off the tee is definitely a smart option. The green is deep but not very wide.

Hole Name Kappa Alpha Fraternity

From The Tee The tee shot is vital on number 13. This uphill dog-leg right isn’t the longest hole on the course, but it presents the most treacherous native fairway bunker to navigate on the entire course. Keep left off the tee at all costs. If you find the steep jagged fairway bunker with your drive, take your medicine and play back to the fairway to avoid a big number. And if your tee ball finds the fairway,

Hole Name Tommy and Donna Haddock

From The Tee This par 3 has the most dramatic green on the entire course. Distance and accuracy are both critical for success. Although the bunker right of the green is daunting, the left side slopes severely into the hazard. Short of the green is not a bad miss. Once you come to rest on the green, first settle yourself by looking back towards the tee at the stunning view of the hillsides of #16 and #18, then

From The Tee This par 5 is a remarkable risk-reward hole. Both the aggressive and the conservative player have a great opportunity to achieve success on the fifteenth hole. With water left off the tee, the tendency will be to bang it down the right side. But be careful, the fairway ends abruptly and the tree-line will swallow as many drives as the water.

On The Green The water short and right of the green may force some to lay up on their second shot, but if firing at pins is your game, grab your fairway metal or hybrid and let it rip. But be aware, the green is very small and nestled between the water and several small bunkers.

From The Tee The most striking views on the golf course are seen from number 16 teeing ground. From this high vantage point, you can see 5 greens on the golf course. And the flowing fescue grasses on the hillsides are extraordinary. The three small pot bunkers down the right side of the fairway are imposing.

From The Tee All golfers love a short par 3. But don’t let this little guy fool you. The prevailing headwinds and elevation change will bring many players to their knees. The stair-step tee boxes are a unique feature that set the forward tees at the high point and the championship tees at the low point. The large green slants from left to right and falls off steeply on the right side. Missing left of the green

From The Tee The homeward hole is not only one of the most challenging holes on the course, it is one of the toughest finishing holes in the Carolina’s.

From The Fairway Your tee shot should be placed down the left center of the fairway, avoiding the fairway bunker and abrupt slope on the right side of the fairway.

On The Green The bunkers and vertical native bank on the right side of the green will intimidate even the most seasoned golfer. But, keep your chin up, there is a bright side. Keeping the ball left on your approach will funnel it onto the putting surface to a gently sloped green which will yield many holed putts.
