Don’t do it
Paid $45 per person to play this course and it was actually the worst course I’ve ever played. Not a hard course whatsoever and wouldn’t be terrible for a new golfer but for the price it’s not even close to worth it. The “greens”, if you can even call them that, were half dirt and half grass. The cart path is crumbling and half of the time you’re just driving on gravel or dirt. In all honesty this course seemed to not have been tended to in years aside from mowing it once or twice a month. Moral of the story is that for $45 there are so many better options and even if this course cost $20 I wouldn’t play it again
Challenging length.... Like putting in the rough
If you want a reasonably priced 18 to grip it and rip it with your friends this is your place.
If you want well manicured fairways and greens this is ain’t yo spot. It was almost like putting on the fairway.
I will say this the course layout on the back would challenge some Korn Ferry tournament players. The Black pin placement is quite tight on a few of the longest holes. Also the terrain changes quite a bit as well on the back.
Good time quick pace even with a group in front I finished in 3:15
Back again
Found another deal from golfnow, so headed back out for 2nd consecutive day.
Pace a little slower on day 2, but tolerable.
Improved score day 2, very happy.
Only complaint, on course water coolers were not maintained. At least 3 coolers were just shy of empty.
High handicap friendly
Course layout is forgiving, and tons of chances to hit GIR.
Greens are slow, but overall, enjoyed round.
This is a good $25 - $30 per round course.
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.
RevJ
I found this course in good shape for a public course. Definitely will be playing it again in the very near future.
Memorial Day Play with Bestie
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.
