Upland Trace Golf Course sits in the Sandhills region of North Carolina near Raeford, a landscape of rolling terrain and sandy soils characteristic of the area's golfing heritage. Designed by Brown Hendrix, the course takes advantage of the natural topography to create a routing that moves through native pines and open upland areas typical of Sandhills golf. The design emphasizes the strategic use of elevation change and bunkering to define playing corridors and challenge approach shots. The course reflects Hendrix's approach to working within existing landforms rather than against them. Fairways wind through the sandy, tree-lined terrain, with greens positioned to reward accurate shotmaking. The conditioning and maintenance standards support play across a range of skill levels while maintaining the character of the regional landscape. Bunkers are placed to frame holes and create strategic options off the tee and into the green. Upland Trace serves the local golfing community and regional visitors seeking a Sandhills-style experience. The setting and design philosophy align with the broader tradition of golf architecture in the area, where courses work with natural drainage, sandy subsoil, and native vegetation. The club maintains a welcoming membership structure and course conditions suitable for regular play and occasional tournaments or outings.
