Disappointing greens

Haven’t played this course in awhile. Was very disappointed to find that the greens were in terrible condition. Splotchy, bumpy and disappointing.

I played from the Whites. This made the course very enjoyable. Think it would be a much greater challenge from the Tips...maybe next time.

Pace of Play/Course Conditions

First off, I love this course. Always have. This isn’t limited to any singular incident either. The pace of play has been awful and the ranger seems to do not hug about it. When you consistently have 3 groups waiting on a par 3 there’s a problem. Yesterday there was a group playing extremely slow and to top it off they would each stop to hit an exploding golf ball every few holes. Yet the ranger drives by a few minutes later and says nothing. Then there’s the course conditions. For $99 on the weekend and asking people for $10k upfront to join as a member. You would think the course conditions would be top notch.

Excellent Course at an Excellent Rate

Played 18 but it was cart path only due to the amount of rain received the day before. But course was still in decent condition. My only gripe was the amount of ball mark damage on the greens. As golfers, we need to take better care of our greens.

Sunday, 8/6, afternoon round

Overall, course was in good shape. My only criticism was the pace of the greens, they were shaggy and slow. Tees and Fairviews were in good shape.

Not worth it

A course that charges more than $90 during peak and has absolutely terrible greens. The local munis around Charlotte are in better shape that Olde Sycamore. Had an absolutely slow foursome in front of us and saw a ranger multiple times but it didn’t improve anything. I won’t be back until the greens are fixed.

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.
