Asheboro Municipal Golf Course

"This course is always a solid course to go to. The greens and course is always in good shape. If you want to play 9 or 18 this is the place to stop in at!"

"Decent Course, But Run Like a Wannabe Country Club

Asheboro Municipal is fine for what it is—a small, local nine-hole course. Layout’s solid, price is right. But the way this place is run? Clueless.

We called Wednesday asking about a tee time for Thursday. The response? “We don’t do tee times during the week.” Cool. Then we show up the next day… and the course is completely shut down for high school teams. Not a heads-up, not a word of warning, just “Sorry, can’t help you.” And this is after we called ahead. That’s the kind of mismanagement you’d expect from some backwoods operation pretending it’s Augusta.

This isn’t a one-off, either. It’s happened before. My buddy’s shown up in the past and been turned away. And while we stood there, multiple other golfers pulled in and got the same treatment. No signage. No online notice. Nothing. Just, “Nah, we’re closed.”

And for what? A private event. Like they’re running some exclusive club. Hate to break it to you, but you’re not a country club. You’re a public nine-holer in Asheboro.

At the very least, if someone calls asking about a specific day, you should know what’s going on and give them a heads-up. Or here’s a wild idea—post a damn schedule online. People make time to golf. The least you can do is respect that.

I know writing this probably won’t change anything. Most folks will shrug and keep playing here because it’s convenient. But this place clearly doesn’t value the people who keep it running."

"The golf course is conveniently located and offers reasonable prices, but I find the inconsistency in operations frustrating. While I understand that rules may change based on weather and other factors, I have never felt truly welcomed as a player, especially considering that my colleagues and I frequently play here as part of our work league.

Today, my eight-year-old son and I arrived to play, and when I simply asked for a cart, the attendant responded dismissively, questioning whether we were walking. I explained that I was informed to arrive by 5:00 to secure a cart, but was told that they needed to be returned by 6:00, a policy that had apparently changed since my last visit three weeks ago. Although I understand the need for adjustments as daylight decreases, I left feeling disheartened.

If I could offer any suggestions, it would be to ensure that players feel appreciated and acknowledged for their patronage, particularly those who respect the course and help maintain its cleanliness. Clear communication about policies would also be beneficial, as it can be disheartening to make the effort to arrive early only to find out we cannot play. My son was particularly let down, and while I may have saved some money, the enjoyment of the experience is what truly matters to us."
