Value Not Great but Awesome Greens

Since they’re aren’t many public courses that one can get on in Charlotte, this is a decent optjon. However, I think that the weekend rate of $99 is a bit steep for the condition of the course overall. The greens are in great shape and roll true, but there were are good amount of dead spots out there and the sand in the bunkers wasn’t the best. I’d probably play it again if the price was around $50 because it’s a fun layout with challenging dog legs and elevation changes. They have a good deal on a 6 pack of beer or 4 pack of IPA’s, a nice bar and grill area in the clubhouse, and a decent practice facility.

Slow Again

Once again pace of play was bad. From #10 onward we had to way on every tee and every approach shot for a much slower group. And as a result, everyone behind us were waiting too. There were multiple open holes in front of this group but they were playing on the maximum pace of play so the course did not ask them to speed up. Fine. They were a foursome and we were a threesome and behind us was a twosome before another foursome. Why not have them wave us thru and even the twosome behind us so the open holes get closed? All of us are entitled to a good experience.

Slow Play Today

Generally, this course plays fast. However, today there was a group somewhere slowing down the train. From the 4th hole onwards we were waiting every shot. Now, it wasn’t 5 hours long but it was slow enough that the group I was in all commented how the waiting was impacting their game. I just think that for $100 awaiting on every shot should not be one of the worries a player has.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ll be back.

Low Value - Clear Lack of Respect for Patrons

Course is here to take your money. Paid a holiday premium to play on a course with semi-closed practice facilities, staff members that don’t answer the phone, empty water coolers (5/5 empty including at the range), and poorly maintained bunkers and tee boxes. Place could be great, nice layout that makes you use all your clubs. Just feels like they don’t care about anything but charging the absolute maximum green fee for the absolute minimum effort. I’ve been a few times to see if it’s been bad timing, it’s not. Not likely to be back anytime soon or recommend.

Still Excellent

This course is always in great shape. Sometimes the bunkers are wet but under any conditions this is among the best maintained courses in Charlotte and probably the southeast. It is a true test of every part of your game but above everything it’s fair

Good course & has improved

Enjoyed my round. Course was in good shape - a couple small area that are being improved which was good to see. I appreciated that the fairways had solid growth so your approach shots didn’t feel like they were coming off hard pan. I like the course - it was the first time I have played here in 5+ years - but the price was a little steep, even for a weekend ($88). This is a course that would be better suited to be priced in the $65-$75 range for a weekend round. Nonetheless, enjoyed my round and good to see how it’s coming into shape.

Last minute play.

I went out by myself and got hooked up with three other golfers. First time playing this course for all of us. I like the layout, and the course was generally in good condition, but Fairway’s pretty thin. Greens were consistent but kind of slow. Tee boxes could use some sod in many places. .
