Average-Not Bad

First, in general this is an average value course. Not great but not bad. Greens are early season and decent shape. Tee boxes were rough and fairways need improvement. I suspect the time of year plays a role in the course conditions. Not packed during the week so not pressed nor waiting. Relaxed round and good game improvement practice. Try it out and have fun!

Beautiful day to play

Played on 3/22/2022 and wasn't impressed with conditions or layout of course. Some of the holes had fairways that resembled the surface of the moon. Also Cart paths need lots of attention sort of like riding a buckboard. The back nine had more character than the front but still not enough for me to play there again. I wouldn't play here again but if anyone reading this review is thinking about it I recommend that you pay no more than 25 to play.

Amazing and surprising

I play courses all around the area and knew of this course yet had never played it. I was very skeptical of the course due to some very poor reviews on line. Those reviews couldn’t have been further from the truth. This course was absolutely wonderful. Being that it’s winter, you need to consider the fact that the course won’t be perfect. The green were undulating and challenging and rolled quite true. The greens were soft and fairways were firm. The layout is incredible. What a gem. There also is a 3 hole practice par 3 which is a great little warm up. I will definitely be back in the spring and summer. Can’t wait to see this course in peak conditions when all is green. Also the bunkers were very nice which is hard find in the winter. All in all I’m hooked on this course.

Horrendous

This is a public course first and foremost. However, a huge waste of money. Do NOT play here unless it’s your first time golfing. Fairways look like bombs were set off throughout. The cart path is cracked beyond repair. You’re gonna need a chiropractor after driving the cart because of how rough the cart path is. The front 9 is a nice layout but the course conditions are extremely poor. The back 9 is a good layout as well and in slightly better condition. For the money, it was a huge disappointment.

Solid course, good value

This is a good municipal course. It is challenging enough, but not too hard for most average golfers.

Nice layout, but needs work.

Greens were in good shape, but tees were subpar. Very undulating course, including the greens. Needs some cosmetic upkeep but has an interesting layout.

NO HOT DOGS, LOL

For a public city course it is in great shape with a beautiful layout, quite the diamond in the rough. BUT, I eat hot dogs at 2 places only, baseball parks and golf courses at the turn. When we got to the turn we had to wait on the pro shop to come help us (only 1 employee) and then was told that they were out,,,, out of hot dogs??? They keep basically forever, how in the world do you run out?? The course was not crowded at all,,, very disappointing!! I hope they won't complain when I bring in my own food next time but lets end on a good note, the course was in good shape and love the layout!!

I like this course because it is out by itself with no houses packed around it. Natural beautiful course.

I played with a couple of tar heel and duke golfers. It was a lot of fun watching them compete against each other. As for me. I had never seen the course and shot a 76. I had a good day.

Book With Confidence

I was in town visiting my sister who lives in Charlotte and wanted to get a round in with my dad and my son. This was the closest public track to her house, so it made the most sense to play here. The course had a really fun and challenging layout, and the greens were rolling really true for being off season. When I mentioned that to the staff member, he told me they just redid all the greens.

The only negative of the whole day was pace of play. Somehow we were stuck behind 4 groups of absolute hacks who decided they wanted to play a scramble. When I say they were hacks, calling them terrible would be an upgrade. At times we were 3 groups deep on a tee box, with no way of playing through. Obviously the skill level of the golfers is no reflection on the course, but had there been a ranger doing there job, they would have been able to step in.

Great course but needs a ranger

Perfect sunny day with awesome weather but no ranger to move the slow players along created some frustration which ultimately caused me to throw in the towel on hole 13.
