This has to be the worst golf course in Charlotte. Absolutely unplayable. Location needs to shut down and at least make the greens playable. I wouldnt go. Back for free that's how bad it is right now
Worst shape I’ve seen it.
I’ve played here many times over the years and usually the greens aren’t too good. Recently they’re border line unplayable.
Course
Course design was great. Could've beena really nice course. The poor condition and the greens are terrible. Will never go back until they do a full 180.
Respect for the Course
We had a group cut in front of us at the turn. We played the front in less than 2 hours and the back in 2 1/2 hours. They were a threesome and so were we.... they rode on the fairways when it was cart pat only but still managed to develop a two hole gap after 5 holes as we were behind a twosome on the front.
Instead of beating traffic home, I got caught in some rush hour traffic. Others were violating the cart path only.
Nice Layout
This course is fun! It’s not in the best shape but who cares?! You are probably not that good anyway. Just enjoy yourself for the 4-6 hours you are out there looking for your ball and foot wedging your way around 18 holes.
This course has a great layout and some fun holes. Clubhouse is definitely old school but that is what makes it fun. Friendly, accommodating staff too. You don’t get that at those stuffy golf clubs. Enjoy!
Poor choice
Check in was very safe seems like the people running it were very covid conscious
Golf course was in terrible shape very wet which could have been taken care of by power blowing the water not leaving it to puddle and collect on the fairways and traps cart paths were in very bad shape groups were bunched up on the first tee with no starter so nobody followed thier tee times roughs were not cut because of the water everywhere and greens were in bad shape some greens were OK but most were bad
Haven't played this course in a while but it will be a long while before I play again
Never playing here again
Pace of play unacceptable. They have like 2 people working the whole course. No starters to group people up. We had two twosomes in front of us and no one wanted to pair up. On a par 5 tee box we had 4 groups waiting. Mecklenburg county cannot run a golf course. Also, the course was not in good shape at all. Greens were a total mess. I won't becoming back.
Great deal for a Sunday morning. However, it'd be nice if there was a Marshall riding around on the weekends - this is the 3rd or 4th time my twosome has gotten behind a foursome (or in the case yesterday, a FIVEsome) that would not let us through. A round that should have taken four hours took almost five.
Great except the greens
The course was perfect except for the greens. It’s a lot better than it was at this time last year and 11/18 of the greens were ok. Get those 7 fixed and it’ll be 4 star

This course needs some serious work with the cart paths. Overall decent challenge.
Neglected and dilapidated
This course looks like it’s been abandoned. Granted it’s a municipal course, it’s unfair to expect the world from a municipal course. But holy moly this course is really dilapidated. Tee boxes are patchy, some are just mud. Tons of overgrown grass means I lost many golf balls in the rough, even though I could see where it landed. The cart path was so bumpy that I nearly lost control of my cart like 5 times, and nearly got tossed out just because of how extreme the bumps were. Pace of play was horrendous, I was either waiting 7 minutes for the person in front of me to hit, or playing really really really quickly, I was not able to really take any time with my shots. Finally: the greens. They were way overgrown and looked horrible, maybe they just weren’t mowed that day but they were in horrible shape. So many bumps, hole marks, and dips made putting an utter crapshoot. The positive were that it was a tricky and creative layout, staff were friendly, and it was cheap. It’s a real shame because if more money and resources were invested properly into this course, it could be quite fun. Unfortunately for now it continues to be neglected by the city.
The course was in terrible condition.
I’ve never experienced greens so bad in all my time as a golfer. I enjoyed playing this course earlier in the year. I’m not sure what was going on with the greens but some major investments needs to go into the course and cart path
Public Course
The greens were terrible. They were airlified 2 weeks prior. They hadn't been mowed for days. There were large barespots. The greens should be torn up and redone. Fairways weren't bad but weren't cut. Tee boxes were bad. Received a $20 voucher for return play within the month which was nice but course needs some money to be invested in it to make it playable. The course has a lot of potential. I wish they would replace the greens like C T Myers and make it and enjoyable course.
