Tillery Golf

The course layout is great with no house's on the course but tee boxes need to be cut and poa Annua is a problem on some of the greens. The problem on the Green's isn't as bad as at Red Bridge though.

First time player

I drove 1hr and 10minutes to play this course for the first time.
I really enjoyed the course. Fairways were tight, but in great condition. Some greens were damaged, but overall in decent shape. Several Blind Shots.
A very challenging, but enjoyable course.
I will be back.

Always a great time

The staff was nice and friendly. The course was in nice shape for this time of year. We had so much rain the last couple of months so the bunkers ( like just about every course except a few high end ones ) could use some work. The greens rolled true, a few had a few spots on them but all and all no complaints by me.

Knowledge

It is one thing to know the rules of golf but the etiquette is equally as important. If golf is to progress then play must speed up. Waiting on every shot and being at every tee with the group in front is totally wrong. Nobody has the right hold up the course

Great Course To Play

We play this course a couple times a year. Although we started off in intermittent rain, it was still playable. Cart Path only, but understandable. Greens were in pretty good condition, considering we are just coming out of winter. Fairways were wet, but we gave ourselves relief when needed. The fairways are also very easy to stay in play and even if you don't most of the time you can get yourself back into the safety.

The Club house is beautiful! You won't be disappointed in this place!

Fun course

Greens in good shape.
Fairway still dormant.
After what seems like weeks of rain, the course was wet and muddy in spots.
Still was a nice round and well worth the price.
Looking forward to going back when it dries out and fairways come in.

Great layout and great shape

My son and I played Tillery Tradition today and it’s absolutely gorgeous! The layout is super, the greens are fast and the bunkers are well kept. I loved their clubhouse too! It’s a must play for any avid player because it has tees for any ability and fairways are mostly generous…..will definitely play again. I owe my son a whipping, he shot 73 to my 74 so I’ve got to get back out and reclaim my title!

Firm and fast

The greens are in great condition and the fairways are firm and fast. Bring your shag bag because the leaves are falling. Save your good golf balls for later. Staff was friendly and the clubhouse was very nice.

Great course

Tillary has great greens and a great layout, but there some blind tee shots where you can't see landing area. Would love to be a member, but too far from home. The nearby lake homes are gorgeous. Deer roam the area.

Worth the drive from Charlotte

Playing Tillery is like going to a private club. Clubhouse is beautiful, greens and fairways in excellent condition. Today the greens seemed a little sticky and slow, but the layout is very good. Wish I lived closer in order to play here on a regular basis. It's worth the drive from the Charlotte area a few times per year.
