Monroe Country Club

Played on a late Friday morning and was running a few minutes late because of traffic out of the Charlotte area. The clubhouse attendant and starter were very accommodating to get me out ahead of a foursome and to get me with the person I was supposed to be paired up with. The person I was paired up with was a different story (took multiple phone calls and slowed me down throughout the back nine), but the course was in very good shape for early March.

Tee boxes and fairways were somewhat dead, but that's expected. However, the greens were immaculate and rolled like the middle of summer. Typical Donald Ross course with postage stamp greens with all kinds of weird slopes and shapes. Basically have to play everything to the middle of the green and hope you don't leave it short or long. Challenging course, but having it in the shape it was in makes it worth it.

Fairways and roughs were in winter condition. Sand traps were hard packed due to recent rains. Several areas of the fairways were water logged. Greens held the approach shot well, rolled true, were medium fast speed.

Unable to wait the 2 hours that tee time was delayed.

Driving range was closed. The course was in ok shape

This course is in great shape, friendly staff and golfers!

Great weekday round, quick pace and great greens. A few of the pins were on crazy slopes but everything else was great. Only negative is the range is pure sand and 5 mins from the pro shop so I’d recommend just going straight to the course.

Course is okay for winter conditions. Greens held the approach shot, rolled true, were moderate speed.

This golf course is worth every penny paid to play. I played for the first time in January under north Carolina winter conditions and it was a joy to play. Greens were excellent but small, which means you better watch your approach shots. Other than that...you will really enjoy playing this golf course and I highly recommend it if you are in North Carolina and around the Charlotte area. I give it 5 stars.
