Course is worth about $30 for prime weekend rate. Greens are shot. Not sure if they are burnt up or have a fungus, but they are in terrible shape. Fairways are tight and firm, just not very plush for Bermuda this time of year. It’s a shame because it’s a nice layout and really close to where I live, but it’s just in awful shape right now. Shame on Carolina Lakes for charging $80 weekend rounds when the course is in this condition. Then again, hard to blame them if their tee sheets are full. However, the greens are so bad they should be notifying people when they book.

I last played this course in early summer before the fairways were growing. They were firm and fast on the mostly dormant bermuda, but the greens were in good shape. I know that bent grass is hard to maintain in the summer, but I played Sunday and they were absolutely awful.
This course is currently not worth the $60-$79.00 rates they are charging. Most of the greens were covered in dead spots, probably ranging from 25-40% of the total surface. Others even had crabgrass starting to grow on them. Aeration is planned this week, but these greens almost seem lost. I don't see myself returning until the conditions are improved. When I pay a somewhat premium price to play a public course and show up and find dead greens, that's a real bummer. I wish I'd have read the recent reviews on here before playing. Every time I've played here in the past, the course has been in good shape and very well kept. I have no idea what's going on right now. Crabgrass and dead spots? I'd pay $30 for 18, that's the shape the course is in right now.
