Tobacco Road Golf Club:

Address: 442 Tobacco Road, Sanford, NC 27332

Tot Hill Farm is another Mike Strantz designed course with plenty of elevation and challenging shots. The area once was a tobacco farm turned sand quarry. Boasting more wasteland than Tot Hill Farm, risk versus reward comes into play with every shot. The clubhouse is rustic and expansive, with a back patio overlooking the 18th green. A driving range is near the cart barn, with massive putting greens located both by the driving range and near the first tee box. A must-try for every golfer is their famous spicy hot dog, complete with pimiento cheese!

Tot Hill Farm:

Address: 3185 Tot Hill Farm Rd, Asheboro, NC 27205-9543

Tot Hill Farm is a Mike Strantz design and both unique and challenging, yet playable for every golfer. The course is set in the midst of the North Carolina countryside and underwent a complete restoration recently. All of the greens were converted to Prizm zoysia grass, all cart paths were updated, over 1200 trees were removed, and except for two, all bunkers have new sand and drainage. The course was returned to the pristine shape of its opening in 2000. Mike Strantz says it is the best course he ever built (Tot Hill Farm website, 2023), and GolfGrinders routinely play there! It is a hidden gem about 45 minutes from Pinehurst, and has a small farmhouse-style clubhouse, chipping and putting greens, and a driving range.
