Golf Courses Near Greenville, NC

Bradford Creek Public Golf Course is a municipally-owned player-friendly layout where wide open fairways wind around a few ponds and streams in a rural setting. The facility also boasts a lighted driving range. Ayden Golf & Country Club, which provides a somewhat tougher challenge thanks to its fairways lined by whispering pines, is a good place to score a hot deal.

No worries as long as a round of golf finishes in four hours.
