Best value

Best golf course for the money. I would play this course over and over again. I played three other courses while visiting in NC and this was the most value for your money. Greens were good, a little over watering on some but were good. Staff was very friendly

I Will be back

Course is good condition for the price, no food at turn due to no rubber mats in the kitchen…so buy some mats. Played 18 on Sunday Morning and it took less than four hours great pace

Great course for the money.

Great course for the money. I found the staff in the club house to be more concerned with their phones in the late hours than giving directions to the bathroom. Also not sure vaping inside is tolerated by the owners, but maybe I’m wrong.

This course plays to my strengths!

I’ve accepted I’m not hitting my irons the distance I use to and this course definitely made me feel like I turned back the clock of times. Even though my approach shots were short of the green, the firm fringes helped me hit more greens in regulation. I ended up shooting one of my best rounds of the seasons.

Extremely slow pace of play

I had to stop keeping score at hole 12 because the pace of play was so slow, I cooled down and warmed up every hole.

They need to understand that as a public course, you're going to have groups of 4 that all shoot 100+, which is fine. People need to learn and practice.

I'm not a great golfer either, I'll be lucky to break 90. But this was a terrible overall experience.

During the week it was fine, would avoid this like the plague on the weekend.

Nice course needs some improvements

Very nice layout and greens, some tricky elevated greens.

Fairways good but lots of waste/very dry areas on edges near trees. Many tee boxes were dirt/very hard I had trouble getting my tees in the ground! Other than that nice driving range and course was fun fairly wide open and not too much sand or water.

Best Value Course in Charlotte

If you’re looking for a good public course in Charlotte this is it. Tee boxes are okay, fairways have been the best I’ve from this course which is good. Greens are always pretty good but a little slow. In my opinion, if you’re looking just to play 18 holes/practice. This is the course.
