Pretty, pretty good

Fairways were is pretty good shape. Greens were long/thick, “like ‘70s Playboy” as it was jokingly referred to at the time. Not bad for the money and no issues with pace or tee backups.

Spend the extra money

This course was like playing in a cow lot. Greens were shaggy and slow. I’ll add this to my list not to play again.

Has a blast playing! Pace was great. Great staff. Greens could be cut a little lower however, the staff explained about the heat and the impact.

Bad pace of play on the back 9

Played in the afternoon on a Sunday. Front 9 pace was great, once we jumped to the back 9 it was terrible. Waiting for 2-3 groups to go before we could tee off.

Location and price

Sounds like it’s improved. I’m new to the area and play it for location and price. Can’t be a little slow at times, difficult to see the group ahead of you from most tees. Adding bells would be huge improvement.

Layout is fun yet challenging.

Decent But Challenging

The course greens were decent for a municipal course. The rough was not terrible yet offered some challenges. If it’s your first time out on the course, you will be challenged. Overall, an enjoyable outing.

Great value for the price

This is a muni golf course so don't expect the Ritz. This course is very descent and the greens are in great shape. Front 9 is easier than the back 9. One drivable par 4 which is fun. Fairways not the best rated but descent. Fun design and challenging for all skill levels. Course is starting to really green up as summer approaches.

New Year New Course

This is a Mecklenburg County Course so Pro ship is weaker than most BUT they continue to get newer clubs and balls. The grill has craft beer selections, solid. These things plus the poor fleet of carts is why there are really no 5s awarded. The course though is so much better. Go play! Highly enjoyable. Been several times. The greens are great. The back 9 is gorgeous! The short game course is awesome addition and you can’t beat unlimited wedge practice for 6 dollars and their driving range is as large as the higher end courses

Worst course in Charlotte

This place is a dump, literally. Greens are diseased, there are mosquito infested puddles, ant hills, and a lingering trash smell from when this place actually served its purpose well. I made the mistake of playing for a second, and last time.

This course is not good!!!!

First time playing this course and last time. I played with my 2 sons, we try different course around SC and NC. The greens are some of the worst I have ever seen, there are ant beds everywhere and there was mud and puddles all over. This course is NOT worth the money.

So disappointing

A really bad experience. Greens were in consistently bad condition including patches of crabgrass on fringes. Back nine fairways were either soggy and muddy or hard as a rock. My last time there.

Value...

For $28 Senior rate at 2PM, cannot complain about much. Conditions.....Fairways were very spotty but that is normal for this time of year as the Bermuda is just starting to come out. The greens were areated about mid-March so many were pretty bumpy. It looked like they were starting to come out well. The layout is definitely different. Lots of blind tee shots, so make sure you know where the fairway is going before you swing. The back in particularly interesting with a very wide variety of holes with lots of elevation changes.

Ok to play, but in transition.

Decent.
Some tee boxes in transition. The transition areas are not in play. Fairways were average. Most greens,except two or three were very good.

Nice place to play ; excuse the greens ;-)

Nice layout ; some interesting holes ; greens need maintenance

I played a nice morning round with John&Wayne (yeah...nice guys...we had some fun..)

I would enjoy this course even more if the greens would recover in the next weeks/months.
Layout is really interesting and offers opportunities for all skills of golfers.
You have to admit that lots of teeshots are blind... but don´t worry most holes are offering reasonable landing zones ...;-)

Wide open fairways

If you like hills and can't see where your ball is going then this is your course... The sprinklers were left on hole 1 box so we were going to start and tee off from 9 when we were yelled at a worker at course... He then turned sprinklers off... Grass along fairways were long and thick... Lost many golf balls though found some that other golfers couldn't find that were probably lost before us
