“A course that may fly a little under the radar in Wilmington due to it's proximity to Eagle Point, CFCC is an excellent Ross course that has really benefitted from a recent renovation."

“Classic and timeless design that isn't overly difficult but fun to play. Almost feels like a walk back in time. They had problems with the 9th fairway but I expect them to get fixed soon."

“I think this course is very underrated. I could play this course every day, its incredibly fun, and each round would be completely different. On and around the green, complexes are very challenging but fair. The layout variety is fantastic. You have short par 3's, medium par 3's and long par 3's. You have 2-4 short par 4's and 2-3 long 470+ par 4's. The character at this place is tough to match as well."
