The 500 Club

The course is undergoing some renovations. The fairways were amazing!! The Bermuda rough was a challenge to get out of.

Course was in excellent condition and staff is friendly and very helpful

This course is in as good of shape as any in the area. Great course for the money.

Beautiful course, immaculate condition, beautiful surroundings. . Play challenging but fun and can score. Nice flow from tee to greens. Staff was incredible. Customer service to the highest. Every staff member was professional and courteous ! Tony ( starter ) was especially nice as was the beverage cart girl. I look forward to coming back as much as possible! Wonderful day of golf !

Friend and I played Larkin with a Hot Deal from Golfnow and Wow ! What a great day! Course is in beautiful condition. Staff is the friendliest around. Pace was ok. I played well. We were paired with another couple of guys who turned out to be good players and nice folks. Overall this was a super day of golf ! I have played here many times....always a good experience. The new owners are doing a first rate job and will surely continue to succeed because they know how to treat their customer. You can't do much better than playin Larkin right away !

The vent greens were in pretty good shape even though they weren't fast. It's summer and expected. The fairways have come in nicely as well. I'm just not a fan of the design. Hole #7 should be demolished - a 270 yard carry from the back tees to ~20 paces of fairway, where anything left or right is dead. It's a horrible hole. Several other holes are below average on the course.

Course in great condition. Greens were some of the best I've played this year.

Middle of May, great greens and the rest of the course is in great shape.

Too many golfers on the course... And you ran out of gas AND golf carts?

Best Greens Around Town! Great Staff as well

Best greens around right now for public courses.

This was my first time playing this course since the new ownership/name change. The staff was very friendly from the pro shop to the parking lot staff to the starter to the snack bar. I played on a Saturday afternoon and was paired up with another single. I didn't use the driving range, but the putting green was in great shape. The course itself presents great challenges from the start. Most courses ease you into the round, but #1 is a tough way to begin a round. The par 3 downhill 5th hole is a great vista, and maybe the course's signature hole. I am not a fan of the 6th hole, a 'z' shaped par 5 that forces a layup off the tee, and provides little area to land the second shot. There is a lot more elevation change on the front nine than the back. Holes 12-15 play out to I-77 on a flood plain and around a lake. The greens were in great shape. There weren't excessive ball marks or any bare spots. The tee boxes were also in good shape. Fairways are coming in nicely as the Bermuda begins to take hold. I paid $23 for a Saturday afternoon tee time, which I thought was more than fair.

It was our first trip to Larkin. We had a foursome scheduled at 12:20pm, the staff made sure we started in time. They were very helpful, when we got there, we were met in the parking lot with out cart and the gentleman loaded our bags and stapped them down for us. A very nice way to start the day. The course is layed out perfect, very good mixture of par 5s, 4s and 3s. Some holes are challenging, while others are more straight forward. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone else.

This is a great course, the layout offers three very distinct styles, links, stadium, and mountain. We played on 3/1/16 and for the time of year the course was in very good shape, especially the greens, much faster then expected. Very good value for the price, highly recommend, we'll definitely be back.

overall great course a fun course to play with challenging holes. I enjoyed it its was super busy this past sunday, my only complaint they might have overbooked. Im playing again in like two days so that should say something. its reasonable as well.

That should have remained farm land. There's not enough grass or decent turf below what will grow to enjoy a round of golf until you reach the back 9 hole 12 and beyond when you finally get some grass growing.

The course is so hilly and exposed that grass can't grow naturally and the maintenance budget does not seem to be there to grow it by force. The front 9 is so hilly that it's just not fun to play even if it had grass I'd suspect it'd be equally not interesting.

It's just another representation of why public golf in the North Charlotte area is so poor. There is not a quality public accessible golf facility short of Rock Barn that is not fully private North of Charlotte. The rest are no better than this one which is simply not good.

First 4 holes nice and laid out well. Then it becomes difficult yo find a target off tee and 2nd shot. Side hill and uphill all the way on a par 5 over a creek and next to a creek. My friend had trouble physically getting in and out of the cart. Some tee shots directly drill you into a hill with a buried blind side hill and uphill shot. Pretty unfair. Hole 10 requires two perfect shots at the limit of many womens yardages with a huge forced carry over water on the 2nd. No reasonable layup available.

Despite the transitions at FD, the price, course condition, and staff hospitality is second to none. I play this course multiple times throughout the year and will continue to do so. There are few courses in the area that have as much to offer. The only complaint I have would be the range. It's down hill and very hard to gauge the distance and accuracy of shots. Also, range balls are pricey. But you certainly don't come to FD for the range. The course is wonderful and I look forward to play here again soon.

Course was in good condition and the staff was very friendly.

I played 9 holes as a single and it was a perfect day. On a Saturday around lunch time i didn't expect the PoP to be fast, but only one threesome group was holding up about 6 groups behind me. Overall course was in good condition. Greens had been recently plugged and i didnt expect any long putts to drop... B-
