The course is strategic

There are a lot of dog-legs and forced layups on this course. I only needed to hit driver off of the tee on 3 holes on this course. I really enjoyed hitting 4 Irons and hybrids off of the tee. The greens were fair and maybe 2 greens had some maintenance issues.

Expensive

I play this course quite often and they have recently increased their rates. Its unfortunate, I love the course, but not worth $100 per round. It will definitely limit how much I play there

Green were pitted with unrepaired ball marks and not in overall good condition. Golf carts outdate and no GPS or visual aid screens regarding course layout and distances. Disappointing for the price compared to other courses in the region of same price. River Run is better in both areas of this review.

Great course

Being from Illinois the pace of play is great with the rangers being on rhe course. Round took 4 hours even with course being full. 1 green a little burnt otherwise the greens were great to putt on. I like this course and will play it whenever I visit Charlotte.

4th of July Golfing

Overall it was a very good experience at a fair price. Not too crowded considering the holiday, however, it was very, very hot. We played in the early afternoon and all the on course water jugs that I came to were empty or close to. No cart girl came around either and a cold drink would have been greatly appreciated. Distance markers to fairway hazards such as blind creeks running across the fairway would have been a big help. Overall the course was well maintained except the greens were quite rough and in need of some repair.

Greens were slow and some were bad in spots. No cart girls or on course beverage service. Usually wouldn't take the time to write a review but given the high cost to play this had to be said.

Great Course

This is a fantastic course that is well kept. I booked solo and played at 8am with several members from the neighborhood. It was my 3rd time playing here, and it's been great every time. Greens are consistent, and well kept. Bunkers have good consistent sand. Tee boxes are in great shape. All around, I would highly recommend any skill level to play this course. There are several Tee boxes to fit everyone's skill level. And the food & drink selections are awesome. Price is a little higher than the average in the area. But you get what you pay for with this course. It's well worth it.

On line reservation terms terrrible

The course and amenities are nice. However, I had to pay $24 up front just to make an online reservation. $9.96 was a convenience fee and $14.16 was some sort of partial pre-payment fee that I was given no credit for once arriving at the course. Better to call the course and reserve directly!
