Neglected and dilapidated

This course looks like it’s been abandoned. Granted it’s a municipal course, it’s unfair to expect the world from a municipal course. But holy moly this course is really dilapidated. Tee boxes are patchy, some are just mud. Tons of overgrown grass means I lost many golf balls in the rough, even though I could see where it landed. The cart path was so bumpy that I nearly lost control of my cart like 5 times, and nearly got tossed out just because of how extreme the bumps were. Pace of play was horrendous, I was either waiting 7 minutes for the person in front of me to hit, or playing really really really quickly, I was not able to really take any time with my shots. Finally: the greens. They were way overgrown and looked horrible, maybe they just weren’t mowed that day but they were in horrible shape. So many bumps, hole marks, and dips made putting an utter crapshoot. The positive were that it was a tricky and creative layout, staff were friendly, and it was cheap. It’s a real shame because if more money and resources were invested properly into this course, it could be quite fun. Unfortunately for now it continues to be neglected by the city.

Driver friendly course

Very fun, but maddening if you can’t hit a very far tee shot. Lot of long par 4 and par 5 holes make distance off the tee vital to make par. Simple yet challenging layout and well kept conditions make it an enjoyable round. Plus if you’re a nascar fan, you can hear the cars at the nearby Charlotte motor speedway while you’re on the course.
