Much improved!!
I have played this course many times in the past. They have made a lot of improvements, and the course is very enjoyable to play. The only thing I would love to see is some ball cleaners they have all been removed and not replaced. Looking forward to playing the course again
Fun course!
Good fun each time I play. Relaxed and peaceful. Greens a spotty, but overall, the course is nice. Staff is always professional and friendly. Great place for beginners and I was playing with both of my sons who are newer to the game.
Greens need work
Typical muni. Decent layout with some rough spots. Fairways were pretty good but the greens were very bumpy, partially due to aeration and needed to be cut. A few had major issues.
Poor value
Even for the price point, the greens were in horrible condition. Some greens dead, some of them alive but not mowed for days. All of the greens were uneven. Played this on a weekday with plenty of available tee times and the pace of play was still horrendous. Over 2 hours for 2 of us to play the front and we decided to not even play the back nine after waiting 30 minutes for the groups ahead to go off. Even for the low price point, it’s not worth it.
Course has gone downhill
This used to be a very solid course for the value. The greens are absolutely terrible. It seems like they were punched and now they are burnt. Literally no point in even trying to putt. Price was cheap relative to other courses but still not worth it. I won’t be coming back
Very nice course
Course was in excellent condition. Greens were a work in progress. That was the only minor issue with the course. However, wouldn’t hesitate to play there again.
Govt interference
The course has so much potential but like most things city, county and administrative bureaucracy destroys what could be. Course condition is abmissmal. Staff is great!
Awful
Place needs a lot of work. Realize it’s a municipal course, but I’ve seen this place in much better shape over the years. Should have been charging $40 tops with how terrible the greens were. Wasn’t even just that they had aerated recently, greens just looked awful. Tee boxes are pretty poor as well. To not offer any sort of discount when you aerate your greens, but ESPECIALLY when they look this bad is just asinine. Basically $60 for this place is a joke, you can get far more bang for your buck at courses outside the city.
Rates too High
I’ve played this course a lot the past few years since moving to Charlotte. This is as expensive as it’s ever been to play. Unfortunately, it is also in the worst shape I have ever seen it. The greens were recently aerated, but they are also almost completely dead. Tee boxes were uneven and missing grass in spots. I understand with the the weather recently it’s hard to maintain these areas, but the price to play the course should refelect this.
Conditions are Terrible
I hope it's not long but they still have a long ways to go in order to get this golf course into shape. Greens are atrocious!
Greens are horrible
I can not believe the price they have for this place with greens rolling like you are at an amusement park. Some are so hard that your ball flies off the green. The course layout is the best thing here.
Fair value
Fair value. They gave a warning about the greens which were being replaced soon. Pace of play was kinda bad due to amateur group ahead playing from blues. Will return once everything is done.
Overpriced for a muni track. Unfortunately golf is so popular in Charlotte, there aren’t many fairly priced course options. Spring 2025 greens are in very poor condition. It would be a $20 course anywhere else
Excellent for the price
Course is improving slowly based on past reviews. Greens are quite good and didn't break but little bit. There's a lot of variety in the holes also. Green layouts vary somewhat also.
The staff is professional, friendly, and provides excellent service
Conveniently located within city limits with a short driving distance, this course has a lot of potential. The staff is professional, friendly, and provides excellent service. However, the course itself is in rough shape—poorly maintained fairways, patchy greens, and overall neglect take away from the experience. With some serious upkeep, this could be a fantastic spot for golfers.
Hoping to see improvements soon!
A little rough
The course was alright overall however having the cart path only rule certainly slowed the pace of play. The pathways are pretty beat up with broken concrete in numerous spots which certainly could use some maintenance.
Great value!
Course itself was in great condition, especially for mid November! Read past reviews about the cart path conditions which is my only negative here but it was clear that a majority of the path was currently being fixed. Regardless of cart path conditions, great experience here, friendly staff and we never caught up to anyone or had anyone on our tails. Will definitely be back!
