Private old course w small greens on a windy day

First time playing here. No range to warm up. Since this an older course, it's not long and has small greens. We played a mix of blue and white tees. Some tee shots need local knowledge. Greens are slow uphill and fast downhill. Most of course is dormant now. I may return in summer to see it all green, but won't have this in my regular course rotation.

Poor Slanted Pin Position Placements

My son and I played this course several times before and had no problem with pin placements. Pin placements on about 6 holes were in horrible posiitions. The locations were on slanted areas of the green for at least an 8 foot diameter around the hole. . Most courses place their hole positions in at least a 6 foot diameter flat areas around the hole. The course other than pin placement was in great shape.

Terrible Hospitality

Course was in great shape especially the greens. The staff and the members, on the other hand, were the worst I have been around. The rule today was cart path only and we followed that for most the day until the group behind us called in on us for slow play. All other players drove everywhere on the course including beside the greens. Staff made us take our food we ordered from the restaurant outside to eat on the course. Treated the whole like we were “Golf Now Members”. Which we were called multiple times today. Disrespectful group of people involved at this course. If you don’t want “Golf Now Members” at your course. Don’t open it up to Golf Now App! Will never play this course again!!!

6 Somes on a Saturday?

So the bright part about our trip to the Cleveland Country club was the golf staff. They were really helpful, genuine, and all-around nice dudes. The greens were fantastic, definitely the highlight

If the course itself. They rolled well. They were well taken care of. All around superstar of the course. They layout, however, was super boring on the backside. The entire backside seemed to take place in a bowl shaped terrain feature from which you played down one side and back up the other side. All of the holes seemed pretty repetitive. The facilities looked very nice, although we didn’t grab a bite or a drink.

The true shame… playing behind a 4-cart group of six players… mid day… ON A SATURDAY… This is a cardinal sim in golf course management. If they’ll allow that, the golf staff will definitely play favorites… overall, a good time. Super frustrated with the pace of play and poor management of on the course play.

Poor service

Booked this course because it was a private course and the heading for Golfnow said "member for a day". My employee and I were working in Charlotte and decided to play, but we were hungry since we hadn't eaten since 6am. When we arrived we were immediately told it was a private course, I know, that's why we booked it. Then tried to get lunch and was told it was only for members, but then the girl said she would sell us sandwiches but we had to eat them in the golf cart! After the round we tried to go in for a drink and we were told we had to ask the manager, she came out and all she said was " we are a private club" and walked away. I've played many private and exclusive clubs ( multiple Cliffs community courses, Thornblade in Greenville, and multiple in Hilton Head) I have eaten and had drinks at each of them with no issues. They need to train staff to welcome visitors who could possibly become members, if you don't want to welcome guests then don't offer times on Golfnow

Equality is not a thing

So this is a members only course. If you book a tee time expect to be second to members. After being pushed back on our tee time for an hour they finally insisted we start on 10. Made the turn only to have to wait an hour for member groups to start their round even though we had been there since 10 that morning. The staff is rude, unfriendly, and down right disrespectful, but if you love being looked down upon by stuck up boogie people then this is the perfect spot for you.

Wonderful Sunday

Played there for the 2nd time. It was my wife’s first time at the course. The greens were perfect and the course was in good shape, given that we’ve had so much rain lately. We really enjoyed it.

Well maintained

Best maintained course in the Charlotte area. Fairways and roughs in good winter condition. Sand traps well raked and fluffy sand. Greens held the approach shot, medium speed, the ball rolled true.

Great track

Took the trip from Charlotte (45min) to check this place out. Although relatively short from the tips, there are lots of dog legs and elevation changes to keep things interesting. I think I hit driver less than a half dozen times. Greens are decently quick and complex, pins were challenging. They take course maintenance seriously here and it shows. Will definitely come back with critical course knowledge in hand.
