Fayetteville isn't just a I-95 turnoff in North Carolina, it's a golf destination in itself

Fayetteville, North Carolina is known for its Civil War history, its preponderance of defense contractors and as the home of one of the nation's busiest military installations, Fort Bragg.

Ask an east coast golfer about Fayetteville, however, and it's likely he'll tell you it's where you turn off I-95 to go east to Myrtle Beach or west to Pinehurst.

Here's what you need to know about the city on the Cape Fear River: It is a golf destination in itself, one with excellent courses, Southern hospitality and inexpensive greens fees and accommodations.

Here are four of the top courses in the Fayetteville area, each offering something different: Cypress Lakes Golf Course offers rich history and holes that play over and around Cypress swamps. Bayonet at Puppy Creek sits on a dramatic piece of property, full of elevation change and unpredictable twists and turns. Gates Four Golf & Country Club has perfect bentgrass greens and challenges at every turn. And the Davis Love-designed Anderson Creek Golf Club is all about the sprawl of the wide fairways, deep bunkers and the massive, undulating greens.
