I’ve played here a few times and I have to say some of you think you’re going to get Augusta conditions for a prime $50 tee time Next to Lake Norman with 2 ultra-expensive private clubs. First, this course plays 7014 yds from the tips and I would venture to say that even the lower handicapper, big hitters would have a tough time shooting better than 2/3 under with the length of some of the tougher handicap holes. The blue tees offer a nice spot for the mid-handicappers at 6500 yds. The course layout is a fantastic Palmer design with a little bit of everything. Risk / reward par 5s, a drivable par 4, and a couple doglegs that will require precision with a 3 wood or utility. It also has some holes with wide forgiving fairways only to require a very accurate shot to some smaller greens. Again the greens aren’t perfect but for one of the only courses left with bent grass they are better than fair. Remember, this course gets a TON of PUBLIC play. My only comment would be if you play here make sure you fix your ball mark and 1 to 2 more. That will go a long way in helping the superintendent keep the greens in better shape and have better roll.
