I've played this course many times over the years mainly because I knew a staff member and it was free. I play a lot of golf and live at Olde Sycamore so I generally look for deals there but occasionally I want to play another course and Ballantyne always comes up in my search and for a split second I think, "man I'd like to play Ballantyne again" until I look at the $82.00 (down from $92.00) rack rate and NEVER a "Hot Deal." Seriously, why bother? This is NOT an $82.00 course with the other options available for half or a quarter of the price. I can play Old Sycamore most of the time for $30-$35 and I can play Red Bridge for $18 to $25 everyday. Both are every bit the course that Ballantyne is and Sycamore has been voted "Best Public Course" in Charlotte several times. I looked at tee times at Ballantyne today and it's WIDE OPEN all day on FRIDAY! You know why? Because it's $82.00! GolfNow should boot them or they should not participate. It's laughable to post that a "deal" when there are REAL DEALS out there. Ridiculous!
