The 500 Club

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-

This is a very nice course and would love to play it in June or Sept/Oct, when the grass is green and the greens haven't been aerated. It is a challenge with the elevation changes and the uneven lies.

We played this course early in the morning. The green had just been punched and the fair way were dry but because of the time of the year, the grass was light brown which make it difficult to find the ball. I would love, and most likely will, play this course again.

We have always played this course on our yearly golf hiatus to the Statesville/Greensboro area and the course today was great as usual. Weather was in the mid 80's, and although greens were aerated they didn't putt that bad with the sand covered over.

Most courses advise in advance they are doing course maintenance but all in all it was a great round. Good mixture of challenges throughout the day. Always will make it a stop in our golf travels.

call to see if they were accepting GolfNow rates. They didn't tell us that they had just plugged and sanded the greens.that same day. Makes for interesting putting.

I enjoy playing the course. Challenging & will test your patience

Course was in good shape for February. Greens were surprisingly in really good shape. Defiantly cannot wait until this course greens up.

Although the front nine had several challenging holes, driving over ravines, after you finish 11 and head to the bottom of the course be sure you have extra balls, water hazards abound.

Great greens, tight fairways
Holes 3 and 4 play along a road making the tee shot seem tighter, OB on the right.
5th is a par 5 with two sections. second shot is across a ravine to a fairway with small landing areas.
This is a well maintained course with one glaring problem. The rough is extremely thick and mowed to at least 3.5". I lost 4 balls in this stuff. It slows the pace of play and leads to penalty strokes not deserved. Until the rough situation is rectified, I will play elsewhere.

On the first 9 holes there's houses so no hooking the ball. All the grass had turned lite brown so had to keep my eye on the ball a little more but overall i could find the ball. The greens was great and you had to read them cause they was challenging and rolled fast.

They had let a threesome check in as our foursome. I showed id and a conformation sheet. We we're allowed to play without any problem. We caught the threesome mentioned above at the turn and they played way too slow.

Course has a good variety of challenges and the greens are in good shape...

I had never played there before and was presently surprised! It was fun and challenging.

This course is very nice to the naked eye, the front is very pretty and fun, the greens are great, much better than most , we loved the changing elevation levels, it's very mountainous like and with the nice stiff winds of fall, you will have to shape your shots. I really enjoyed my first time playing here, my buddy and I liked it so much we played 36 back to back. I'll be back for sure! Thanks Fox Den!

Course in good shape. Greens consistant, greens sticky even from close-in. No barespots, thick rough (ball will sit down). Ranger making the rounds but took 4 3/4 hr to play which is ok for a Saturday.
