Bumpy greens

You know when you think, “There’s no way these greens are as bad as the practice green.” Well they were. If I had a putt with grass all the way between my ball and the cup I was fortunate. They are obviously doing work on the course so maybe in a couple months they’ll be better. Today they were the worst I’ve seen around Charlotte.

Affordable nice course.

Although going thru some changes Harry Jones course is affordable & accessible with interesting holes & scenic views. Like many courses the pace of play is an issue w/ no marshaling & one twosome holding up several groups b/c of their slow play.

Terribke

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.

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.
