About Keith Hills Country Club

Keith Hills Country Club, located in Buies Creek, North Carolina, offers a premier golfing experience rooted in the rich tradition of Southern golf. Designed by the renowned architect Ellis Maples, the original 18 holes opened in 1974, with an additional nine holes added later by his son, Dan Maples, creating a unique 27-hole layout. This public course is owned and operated by Campbell University, providing a beautifully maintained and challenging environment for golfers of all skill levels. The course is celebrated for its natural beauty, strategic design, and commitment to providing an exceptional golf outing. The course unfolds through rolling terrain, mature pine forests, and along the banks of the Cape Fear River, offering picturesque views and a serene atmosphere. Ellis Maples' design philosophy is evident in the thoughtful bunkering, elevation changes, and natural hazards that demand both precision and strategic thinking. Each of the three nines – Creek, River, and Island – presents its own distinct character and challenges, ensuring a varied and engaging round every time. The course conditions are consistently excellent, reflecting the dedication of the grounds crew and the university's investment in its facilities. Playing at Keith Hills is an immersive experience that blends natural beauty with a well-crafted golf challenge. The layout encourages golfers to think their way around the course, rewarding well-placed shots and penalizing errant ones. From the demanding par-3s to the strategic par-5s, every hole offers a unique test. Beyond the golf, the club provides a welcoming atmosphere with a pro shop, practice facilities, and dining options, making it a complete destination for local golfers and visitors alike.

Tips for Playing Keith Hills Country Club

When playing Keith Hills, consider the varying characteristics of the three nines. The Creek Nine is generally more open, while the River and Island Nines incorporate more water and tighter tree lines. It's advisable to play a practice round or consult a course guide to understand the subtle breaks on the greens, which can be deceptively fast and undulating. Pay close attention to pin positions, especially on the Island Nine, as many greens have distinct tiers and slopes. Given the course's natural setting, be prepared for some elevation changes and carry distances, particularly on the River Nine. While the course is walkable, a cart can help conserve energy, especially during warmer months. Don't forget to take advantage of the practice facilities before your round; the driving range and putting green are excellent for warming up. Finally, enjoy the serene atmosphere and the well-maintained conditions that make Keith Hills a true gem in central North Carolina.
