Course Highlights
Kings Mountain's carpet-like fairways and well-maintained greens consistently impress, with the contrasting open front nine and tight back nine delivering a memorable layout. Exceptionally friendly staff and outstanding value make the hour-long drive worthwhile for returning golfers.

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.

Only negative we found was the course allowing more than 4 people (assumed members) play together. We witnessed two 5-somes and one 8-some if you can believe it. We were never slowed down though and the 5-some ahead of us let a single play through. Overall play that day was light so this may have been a factor in the courses allowing this.

Amazing views, greens phenomenal

There are a ton of blind shots here so make sure you know where you are aiming and your distances are accurate. Many of the greens are elevated so if you miss it can roll down sometimes 20 yards. Greens are in amazing shape. The views were awesome.

Played the course early on a Sunday morning and the pace of play was pretty good for a somewhat challenging course. I would state though it probably had potential to back up quite easily with some of the holes being challenging and waiting for people to play shots from the wrong fairways etc.

The course is in pretty good shape, and the greens were excellent and ran as smoothly as any public golf course I've ever played.

This is great value for money and only really a short drive from Charlotte.
