First Tee Time at 9 AM

Booked a Twosome on Sunday and we were the first ones to the course. Random clubhouse but the course was empty at 9 AM! We played 18 in 3 hours and didn’t see the next group after the first few holes. This course is a true iron players dream, almost out of the 60’s. Lot of tricky tee shots followed by approach shots to the green that are confusing on the eyes. Greens are true and rolled nicely. Shorter course, fairways and rough are similar to what you see on this priced course in/around Charlotte. Play it while you can if you’re looking for fast pace of play, iron shots and putting. It’s currently open but typically private to the public

Good Opportunity!

Usually private we jumped at the opportunity to play here. This course is not long but has alot of challenges. The greens are great and very slick for bermuda. The bunkers were also in ggod shape. From tee to green its hard to beat for the price. Very fun course.

Unique Destination

This is a old course that is or was private and just added to Golfnow and glad they did. This course has a wonderful layout that is a pleasure to play. The tees, fairways, and greens along with the bunkers are all quality. It isn't overly long but requires accuracy and thought which make it fun. No two holes the same with all different sizes of greens. Tee shots need to be worked both ways and approach shots accurate with smooth surfaces to try for your birdie or eagle. This course is definitely worth playing and will always be in my rotation if they continue to allow public play. Bravo!

Deceptively nice

When I arrived at the course after a 50 minute drive I was disappointed. However after playing the first hole I realize that this is a very nice course.

There's something about the curb appeal that tricks you. But the course is nice and so is the staff

As good a greens as you can find

At almost a 100 years old this 6400 yard course is one of the best I've played this year. Greens are fast and smooth with really good fairways.

Old School Course

CCC was built in the 1920s and it shows. Its an old school layout with shorter, relatively tight holes. The greens are in good shape and roll smooth, and the fairways and tee boxes are starting to green up. Keeping the ball in play and out of the trees is far more important here than being able to bomb the ball. The only negative is its a private course and the only way to get on is with a member.
