Slow play

Slow group in front of us. Waited 10-15 minutes on each hole to tee off. Left after the 13th hole. Club members are rude and feel they can play as slow as they want. Will not go back.

It's called Kings Mountain for a reason

Very challenging for me. Very hilly as well, which I honestly should have figured because it has mountain in the name. Other than that, the course is in great condition, other than a few bunkers. Greens are fast.

Overall a nice place to play

Front 9 is great. Back 9 is a whole different story. Blind tee shots on some holes and just an overall bad layout crammed into a small area. Greens were perfect on all holes.

Course LayO ut

This was a very interesting course, as it was like playing two different golf course. Front nine, very open, gofler friendly, a lot of elevated greens. Back nine much more challenging, which we enjoyed. Must play target golf to score well. Tee boxes were rough, but rest of course was in good condition. Will go back!

Excellent greens.

I wasn’t expecting the best conditions for this course given the time of year. I was pleased with how well the greens looked and were playing. Some parts of the course (tee boxes and away from the fairway) are in poor condition but overall great value for the money.

Course is a joke

I like a challenging course where good shots are rewarded and bad shots get punished. This course just punishes. It’s extremely sloped and in such poor condition, that’s it’s hard and balls run out forever. Barely any grass, even in the fairways. Great shots are unjustly punished. The layout is gimmicky. Almost all tee shots are blind. There are a lot(too many) of short dog legs that you have to hit iron or hybrid off tee. This may be my least favorite course I’ve ever played and I’ve played hundred.

Only missing a marshall

-renovation of teebox will be great for future

-lots of rollout on fairways so dont hit approach too long

-soft greens fairly slow but ran true

-round took 4.5+ hours which is too long for a thursday late morning start

-no marshall to speed up play, only recommendation

-friendly staff

Get what you pay for

As others have said, greens rolled nicely. For winter golf, the course was maintained fine but was very repetitive. No practice facilities, and the clubhouse didn’t add much value. I got a chili dog after they had run out of Pimento cheese sandwiches, and it was a hot dog with ground beef on top.

Suppose I’m being a bit harsh, but ultimately you get what you pay for here.

Horrible employees

We witnessed a black f150 almost back over a couple of golfers with no remorse. The golfer whistled at the truck and gave a shout but the truck did not stop. Then the truck tore out of the golf course to run the golfers down to escalate the situation in the parking lot. The guy in the f 150 was clearly wrong in the situation. He pulled up beside the golfer and started screaming at them like it was their fault. This did not sit well with 2 golfers that had just about been ran over. The guy in the truck kept on and on then a shouting match started. Then the staff came running down there to so what was going on. They told the two golfers to get the F out and don’t come back. Turns out the guy in the f150 was a member so they immediately took his side. This is BS the guy in the f150 should have been the one kicked out. I guess when you’re in the good ole boys club you untouchable. These to golfers had every right to be steamed. The guy in the f150 needed to apologize instead he kept escalating the situation. I will never go back there after what I witnessed and the way the staff treated the two golfer who almost got ran over.
