Very interesting course!

I have played the Jones course many times and have always liked the course conditions and its layout. Never thought about playing the Jackson course, but I have to say I really enjoyed playing it. I personally liked the layout very much. The course is a bit hilly with a lot of blind shots, so knowing the course is a big plus. Course condition were good. We played a day after a lot of rain so there were wet spots everywhere. Tee boxes and bunkers were in really good shape for how wet it was. Fairways were dormant, but we did not struggle with the lies too much. Pace of play was well managed. I would definitely recommend this course.

One of the best courses in the area!

I have played this course many times and I'm always amazed how good the course conditions are. Kudos to the team that manages the course. I would definitely play this course more if it wasn't an hour away. Course layout is fun and challenging. Tee boxes and greens are in great shape. Some of the bunkers could use some help, but otherwise the course is in great shape. I personally think this course has one of the best drainage. Good pace of play and nice practice area. I would highly recommend.

Great for winter golf!

Played as a foursome and really enjoyed the round. This course has become somewhat of a go to for us now. Year round course conditions are always good and pace of play is great. A few tee boxes and bunkers could use help, but otherwise nothing to complain. Bunkers don't drain well, but that seems to be a problem across most the Charlotte area courses during this wet winter. Would definitely recommend.

Good Course, but bad customer experience!

I would like to mention early that the 2* review is not for the golf course, but for our customer experience as a Golfnow user. The course is in good shape from tee to green. Few tee boxes and bunkers could use some help, but nothing worth complaining. Greens, fairways and rough are in good shape. I would rate the course a solid 4.5*.
We were a twosome and had a 10:48AM tee time using a Hot Deal on July 4th. Check in at the club house around 9:50 and asked if the course was packed. Were told that we might be able to go off a bit earlier than our tee time. Just assumed if they were free then no reason why we would not be able to go off earlier. Parked the cart by 1 tee and walked to the starter at 10:00AM while there was a 4-some getting ready to tee off 1. Starter said there was group at 10:16, but they hadn't checked in and if they don't show up we can go off as the next tee time isn't until 10:30 ish. Right then the person from the clubhouse comes over and tells us that we will have to go off at our tee time of 10:48. He believed that if we paid a hot deal price we should not be allowed to tee off early since that was a higher price. Now, I completely understand if there are tee times booked we should have to wait for our tee time. He was polite when he mentioned that. So we got range balls and hit and waited while not a single person/group teed off from about 10:05 to 10:30. Then he let two foursomes go off and then told us that we could follow them.
After discussing it with a few other golfers, neither of them thought what they did was right. If I missed something please feel free to contact me. Golfnow, if you believe that my expectations are unrealistic please feel free to take down the review. I have played Chester about 10-12 times last year and the Springs courses about 20-25 times. I'm not going to let one bad experience ruin plenty of good experiences, so I will continue to recommend and play this course.

We're sorry to hear that you had a less-than-terrific experience with us. The way Hot Deals work is that those specific tee times (in your case, 10:48am) are "owned" by GolfNow are sold at their discretion and the other tee times are owned by us, the golf course. Whenever possible, we do try to keep those Hot Deal tee times locked to the designated tee off time. We apologize if that wasn't communicated properly and we hope it won't deter you from a future visit.

Course in poor shape. Friendly staff.

Played here early Sunday morning as a single and got a hot deal for $20. Played 18 holes in under 2 hours. Nothing great about the course. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in poor shape. I think what I paid is what you would expect out of this course. Staff were friendly. Carts are in horrible shape. Course layout is interesting and shows a lot of promise if it was well maintained.

Some of the best greens!

First time playing this course. I came here from South Charlotte and it was a bit of a haul. Was very happy I made the trip. The greens were some of the best I've played this year. Tee to green the course was in good shape. Course also had a very good layout. Only problem with the course is that Hole # 2 which is a par 5 is playing as a par 3 with temporary tee boxes while they work on the tee boxes and fairway. Pace of play was good on a Sunday morning as we were the first group off the tee and finished the round in less than 2.5 hours. Course is priced just right. Will definitely come back.

Course in good shape. Friendly staff.

Started the round around 9:20 on a Saturday that was very warm. Overall course conditions are great. Greens were in excellent shape, fast and rolled true, Fairways and bunkers in good shape as well. Most tee boxes in good shape except for a few. There are some areas with issues, but happy to see the course is working on it. Only minor concern was the pace of play. Total round was 4 3/4 hrs, which could have been better. Definitely recommend this course if you can drive a little south.

Greens in poor shape. Course OK.

I play here quite often and was very surprised by the condition of the greens. The affected areas are unplayable. I have not seen it this bad in 8 years. I understand the cold weather and the rain affected the bermuda grass and they are working on getting the greens back in shape, but charging $60-$70 is not right. (We only paid $29 from a Hot Deal). Some of the tee boxes could use help. Most of the fairways are in good shape. I really like the course and enjoy the layout and hope the course comes back to how it usually is.

We're working very hard to recover our greens after a bout of winter-kill. We do apologize for the condition. We hope you'll return in the future once our greens are back in great shape.

Good layout with decent conditions.

Played this course on the 4th of July as a twosome and got paired with another 2-some. Due to the storm from the night before it was cart path only. Finished the round in 4hr 45 min which I believe was good considering it was a holiday and cart path only. Course conditions were good on most of the holes. Some of the tee boxes needed work done, but fairways and greens were in great shape. Bunkers were in good condition as well.

From the start we were having some issues with our cart where it would not start immediately. We would have to toggle back and forth with the key and put it in reverse and back to start it. We called the clubhouse on the third hole and were notified that they would "try" to get us a cart. Did not have anyone come help us. We had to keep working with the cart to get it moving, sometimes having to push it to get it started. We had to swap our carts at the turn. We even mentioned the cart number (#48).

Course is in great shape for summer.

Played it as a 4-some and finished the round in just under 4 hours. It had rained the night before so everything was wet, but not enough to warrant cart path only. Looks like they were in the process of mowing which made the grass very clumpy in the fairway and some greens. Some of the bunkers had standing water, not the course management fault. Tee to green the course was in good shape and should be good for the summer. The rough was a bit thick which made it hard with the wet conditions, but was a good challenge. The greens have almost recovered from them being punched. I wish they would replace the balls on the driving range, most of them are old and really scuffed up. I would play this course more often if it was closer.

Great Layout and almost perfect!

Played this course on Easter Monday and the weather was great. The course tee to green is in almost perfect condition. Except for a couple of green, they were immaculate and rolled true. Some patchy fairways and tee boxes, but not a big problem seeing how everything is just greening up. Bunkers in great shape. Practice range was good and balls were in great shape.
