Equality is not a thing

So this is a members only course. If you book a tee time expect to be second to members. After being pushed back on our tee time for an hour they finally insisted we start on 10. Made the turn only to have to wait an hour for member groups to start their round even though we had been there since 10 that morning. The staff is rude, unfriendly, and down right disrespectful, but if you love being looked down upon by stuck up boogie people then this is the perfect spot for you.

Despite aerated greens - this course is a lot of fun

You’ll enjoy the layout and even though the greens are recovering from aeration- it was a great course and pro shop staff was very friendly.

Small Town Country Club Vibe

Played 10am Friday. Only 7 cars in parking lot when I started. Got paired with another single which was great. Conditions of course was awesome. Greens fast and firm. Fairways in great shape. Played at about 6000 yards which is perfect for me at 61 yoa. Highly recommend

Private old course w small greens on a windy day

First time playing here. No range to warm up. Since this an older course, it's not long and has small greens. We played a mix of blue and white tees. Some tee shots need local knowledge. Greens are slow uphill and fast downhill. Most of course is dormant now. I may return in summer to see it all green, but won't have this in my regular course rotation.

Terrible Hospitality

Course was in great shape especially the greens. The staff and the members, on the other hand, were the worst I have been around. The rule today was cart path only and we followed that for most the day until the group behind us called in on us for slow play. All other players drove everywhere on the course including beside the greens. Staff made us take our food we ordered from the restaurant outside to eat on the course. Treated the whole like we were “Golf Now Members”. Which we were called multiple times today. Disrespectful group of people involved at this course. If you don’t want “Golf Now Members” at your course. Don’t open it up to Golf Now App! Will never play this course again!!!

Wonderful Sunday

Played there for the 2nd time. It was my wife’s first time at the course. The greens were perfect and the course was in good shape, given that we’ve had so much rain lately. We really enjoyed it.

Well maintained

Best maintained course in the Charlotte area. Fairways and roughs in good winter condition. Sand traps well raked and fluffy sand. Greens held the approach shot, medium speed, the ball rolled true.

Great track

Took the trip from Charlotte (45min) to check this place out. Although relatively short from the tips, there are lots of dog legs and elevation changes to keep things interesting. I think I hit driver less than a half dozen times. Greens are decently quick and complex, pins were challenging. They take course maintenance seriously here and it shows. Will definitely come back with critical course knowledge in hand.

Nice, well kept course

Fairways in good condition. Roughs were long. Sand traps had loose, deep sand, best in the area. Greens rolled true, held the approach shot, were moderately fast. Pin positions were challenging.
