A great public course

Have played here several times and really enjoy the course. The front 9 was designed by Donald Ross, which was a bonus. In great shape in spite of being a long hot summer, even the greens. A hidden gem in Fort Mill.

Excellent shape

The golf course is very well maintain and one of the finest courses in the Charlotte metro area. My only complaint is the pro shop manager was a bit of a jerk.

Great shape, with very few minor issues

Fort Mill was one of the best condition courses I've played in the area - compared to Skybrook, Emerald Lake, Eagle Chase, and a few others in the area. The bunkers had super soft sand despite some gravel, greens were in great shape minus around 3 holes with dead spots, and they were running fairly quick (albeit grainy). It looks like they hadn't moved the cups in a few days, due to the burned out edges. The layout was very fun too - with the only weakness I'd point out being I believe #12, which is by far one of the hardest par 5's I've ever played - requiring a forced draw or a sub-250 drive from the tips, followed by a 200+ layup to have a chance at a wedge in. I would put it on par with Tillery Tradition and Deer Brook, but being much closer to Charlotte than either. Very walkable as well. Played in just under 3 hrs.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Charles!

We actually are considering removing some trees on the left side of #12 to make the tee shot fairer to all golfers. No final decision has been made at this time, but we do appreciate your comment about that particular hole.

Have a great day!

Must Play In Charlotte Area

Ft. Mill is a classic old school course that is a pleasure to play. Difficult enough to challenge the most skilled golfers while being playable for all. The first three holes are some of the most difficult starting holes on any course. Survive them and settle in for a bit of relief over the next two and then back on the roller coaster for the next couple of holes. Beautiful mix of tough and playable will make you want to come back for more. Staff is fantastic, conditioning is excellent, and the course is beautiful this time of year. The view from the clubhouse deck enjoying a post round beverage is 270 degrees of golf holes. Really fun to watch folks finish on 9 and 18 and make a wager or two on which of them will be closer to the hole. Greens are perfect after healing from the aeration in early June and make putting a real pleasure. Trust me, make the trip to Ft. Mill if you haven't played it before and definitely come back to see it in peak condition.

Bumpy greens

The greens had been aerated 2 weeks ago and had not filled in fully. The tees and fairways were nice but the greens were still healing. Don't play until end of June, by then the greens should be near perfect. The fee of $45 was about twice what it should have been for greens of that quality. I won't go back until July.

Scorched Earth

While this course is one of my favorites in the area, management waited far too long to water the course. Tee boxes and fairways are essentially dead. Greens were in good shape, but not great. This course is in desperate need of water, and I don't understand what they're waiting for. It'll be 90+ degrees and humid in no time. I fear that they waited far too long and the course just won't recover this season. The dry conditions don't make it worth the greens fees in my opinion. I'll return when I hear that the course has been thoroughly watered.

Thank you for the feedback, Christophe2296779. The grass on the course is not dead. We haven’t consistently had warm enough weather at this point for the Bermuda to grow. We have been watering, but again because of the cooler weather, the grass has not responded like it will in the coming days. Plus we’re getting rain now. Bermuda loves 90+ degrees and humidity. That’s what we want! We expect the Bermuda to come in beautifully as the weather warms up.

Last stop on a Masters trip

Played fort mill yesterday and loved it. Great layout nothing crazy everything is in front of you a true old style course. Good dog legs that involves more then just pulling driver out of the bag every hole. It's a course you have to position yourself around and I really enjoyed the round. Course was in great shape only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was they were slicing the course to help the Bermuda grow which isn't a big deal.

Top notch facility and if in the area I will revisit again.

Unfriendly staff, many better local courses to choose from

Very unfriendly staff, no employees staffing bar and grill. It was a very slow day and we were treated as if they wished no one was there playing rather than the few that were. Made us feel as if we were a burden on them. Guy at the desk was very aggressive and spoke to us in a manner that was very offensive and could spark an altercation with the wrong crowd? Haven't played this course in 15 yrs and won't be back again. Not a nice enough course to put up with the trouble, Lancaster and Chester are equal or better courses with a much friendlier staff! Edgewater is the best around with a wonderful golf course and a staff that treats you like one of their own! I play 2-3 times a week but Ft Mill won't be getting anymore of my $
