Cleveland Country Club

My son and I played the front nine which was in perfect condition (greens, fairways and cart paths). The weather had clouds and some rumbling of thunder probably 10 miles to the north. We played two holes on the back nine (rough cartpaths) and two shots on hole number 12. We saw dark clouds in the northeast and rumbling in the distance but there was no rain. A pro shop assistant then rode towards us to tell us we must return to the clubhouse as lightning was seen within 8 miles (How Ridiculous is 8 Miles). When we returned to the clubhouse we were offered to wait for an indefinite time or obtain a nine hole raincheck. I chose the raincheck and am grateful. However, I must say that in over 40 years of playing golf I have never been required to stop play (And, I have played in torrential rainstorms). Especially strange is that no lightening was visible nor did the weather change from a partly sunny day.

Couldn’t ask for a better golf experience! Get out to Cleveland CC & treat yourself to a country club membership for a day if you never experienced anything like that! Great staff, Director ofGolf was a super nice guy!

Greens Verda cut with fine sand they rolled pretty good!

Recently aerated and sanded greens notwithstanding the course was in great shape for the heat of the summer. Challenging pin placements and green conditions made for higher scoring than usual, nevertheless, this was a very good round of golf on a nice course at a very reasonable price.

I hope I get to play this course again, now that I know the layout a bit better. It's in good shape. Greens had been aerated 7 days prior but are coming along nicely considering we haven't had much rain. Friendly staff. Awesome pace of play (maybe 4-5 other groups on the course). Restaurant was closed.

Fun layout and great course! Only issue was the greens had been punched recently so they should have reduced fee to play.

Cleveland Country Club is an incredible golf experience. A very forgiving and open tee shot from all holes. The challenge comes from the approach shot to the green. Many are elevated greens with some traps and many undulating mounds protecting the sweet spots. And then there are the greens - great size, solid putting surface, and challenging reads. And they are in immaculate condition. I haven't been on greens like these since walking back to the car after the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow. I just had to walk on one of their greens to see and feel what a professional green was like. CCC's greens are just as cut, sturdy, and undulating. We played on a hot July afternoon and the course was in top shelf condition. If you haven't played this course, you must. It is the best course in Cleveland County, NC.

My tee time was at 2 pm so I arrived about 1:30 pm. When I walked into pro shop I told the person working I had a tee time at 2. I asked for a small bucket of balls and the person informed me they don’t have a driving range. So I said this is my first time playing here do you have a greens book or any information about the course other than scorecard and they advised they were out and didn’t offer to provide any information on course. Then I started my round and there wasn’t anyone behind me. Then I get to 3rd hole and I noticed there was a 2some behind me. I got to the 8th hole and the guys behind me began hitting prior to me being off green and one of their balls nearly hit me. So then after another hole or two they zoomed past me to hole in front of me so then I had to wait for them. I was apprehensive about playing here because I figured this kind of stuff would happen from the members here. The course was in good shape and so were greens but the staff, members and everything else about the round was terrible. Will not play here again.

Fun layout, decent condition, relatively slow (but true) greens.
