Gary

First time playing Cleveland Country Club. It was Masters Thursday the weather wasn’t ideal. However my playing partner and I found the course in very good condition and not real busy. Carts were electric, clean, quiet and quick. Course was quite challenging due to elevation changes particularly on the back 9. Will definitely play again. The only negatives were lack of a driving range and snack bar.

Great bang for the buck

Was able to get out by my self and play on a Thursday morning. Had the course pretty much to my self. Gentleman at the front desk was quite nice. No driving range but not a big deal to me. Greens were in great shape and very well protected. Fairways were average and the rough and areas around the course could use a bit of love but it is early spring. You can tell this course was a gem at one point. For 50$ it was a great deal.

Loved It

I an absolutely fantastic round at Cleveland Country Club in Shelby, NC! From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure everything was set for a smooth and enjoyable experience. Their hospitality really added to the day.

The course Itself is immaculate—the fairways are well-manicured, the greens roll true, and every detail is clearly maintained with care. The layout offers just the right blend of challenge and playability, keeping the round engaging while still allowing for a relaxing time on the course.

What really stood out to me was the serene and calming scenery. Whether it was the peaceful tree-lined fairways or the picturesque views throughout, the setting made for a perfect day of golf. It’s the kind of course where you can truly appreciate the game and the moment.

If you’re in the area and looking for a great golf experience, I highly recommend Cleveland Country Club. I’ll definitely be back!

Cleveland

Cleveland country club is usually always in great condition. The only reason I took some stars off are for the following reasons...1...the greens were so fast you couldn't putt on them. Especially if you were above the hole you might as well pick up cause you're 3 or 4 putting. No need in greens being that quick...takes the fun out of playing good or even trying. 2...there wasn't much sand in some of the bunkers. Other than that I always loved the course.

The greens were some of the smoothest I've played on. Not much grass in fairways though also....but that's to be expected for winter golf in NC.

Pleasantly surprised

The course was in good condition especially with the cold weather and winter that we have had. The greens were one of the best that I have played on. Very fast! Fairways for the most part were in good shape. Lost three golf ball’s due to leafs not being removed on the edges that should have been removed or pushed further away from the boundary.

But I absolutely recommend this course and will play it again.

Great Course

This was my first time playing here. No one else was there so I played by myself. A little local knowledge would have helped tremendously. No sure what the regular rates are, but through Golf Now was around $48 on a Friday. The course was well maintained and the greens were really fast, which I liked. I’m curious if they are faster in the warmer months. I will definitely be looking for more deals to play this course again! I would highly recommend playing here.

Great course!

We were driving from Asheville to Charlotte and had time to play. We found this course and had a great experience. Friendly staff, challenging holes and the course was in great condition for November. The greens were faster than expected. Will definitely try to play again!

Great course

Course is well maintained, greens and bunkers in great shape. A few tee boxes could be a little better, but all in all this course represents great value for money.

Member for A Day

Course in great shape, especially for time of year. Played tough but a little local knowledge would have helped with that. Greens were a little on the slow side but excellent condition and consistent.

Thanks to the club for the member for a day opportunity!

This would be an average public course so being that it’s a private country club I would not rated very highly. The grass was cut nicely however it’s dry and very brown. I realize it’s off-season but I’ve also played there during the high season and it’s just an average course at best.

Complete scam do not ever deal with these people!

Do not ever deal with these people. We booked a T-time and drove almost 2 hours to find out they cancelled our time with no notification. I even showed the gentleman working the pro-shop my phone email showing no notification our T-time was cancelled. If I could give zero review I would. These people are complete scam artist do not waste your time dealing with these people.

Cool but cool.

After a brief frost delay I teed off and had a great time. Course was in great condition and the pace was at less than three hours. Front nine was shorter than the back and had an old course vibe. Back was longer and much more hilly than the front and seemed more modern. This a great course with quick rolling greens and a great walk. Play it if you get the chance. Also a great value and the staff was friendly and welcoming.
