Red Bridge Golf and Country Club

I always enjoy playing here and since it has dried out over the last 2 weeks I played the tips. The only problem I really had was with the greens. Over the last year the miniverde greens have been invaded by small patches of foreign grasses which make the greens bumpy and knock putts off line. This really needs to be cleaned up ASAP!

In the mean time if they rolled the greens and cut the greens down so the foreign grass was the same height as the minverde it would definitely help!

I hadn't played here in years, but wanted to try it out again. The staff in the club house were amazing, incredibly helpful. The course itself is a really nice course with a great layout. The greens needed some work, but the tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Course wasn't too crowded and weather was perfect. Highly recommend this course!

Greens are pretty bad poanna really bad on a lot of greens tee boxes were a little off also

-The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming.

-Driving range is in good shape and you can tell they take care of it w/ sand to replace divots when you're done.

-Putting green is comparable in conditions and speed to the actual course (something you don't see everywhere).

-It's very generous off the tee w/ plenty of landing area, especially if you're willing to play each hole as it was meant to be played (rather than trying to cut corners and hit blind shots).

-While the greens were in bad shape w/ lots of Poa Annua throughout, we were given a warning by the staff in the clubhouse upon check-in. The greens should improve as the temperatures start to rise. I can see these greens being fast/true in June/July.

I just need to see the greens get better before I would recommend this course to a friend, especially for $60/round.

We have played here many times over the years, probably at least 30 times. As with every course, the course condition varies by season. Currently, this course is in below-average condition which was very disappointing to see. It does not appear that anything was done to prevent Poa and other weeds from moving in and boy have they. Most greens are covered with Poa which really screws up putting. Separately, the tee boxes are in terrible condition although the tee boxes had far less impact on play than the greens. It really is a great course and definitely challenging but (man!) those greens need help ASAP. The staff is always great. We would have like to see a beverage cart though being a Saturday and with plenty of players on-course to make it worth the time and labor cost. I will be back, many more times probably, but Ill definitely be avoiding the place for a couple months for them to turn their greens around.

Many greens had small weeds popping through resulting in poor putting conditions.

Greens and tee boxes are in bad shape!!!! Hard to believe this course has gotten worse in the past two months.

I've always enjoyed playing Red Bridge but the most recent experience was not very good. We played behind a very slow 4-some and the ranger could not do anything except telling them to "speed it up a little". The course was packed with golfers on a Tuesday due to a Tuesday special discount. The greens were as bad as I've played anywhere. They were fast but full of weed clumps which would knock your gentle putts of course most of the time.

Other than those, the course is good.

Every course has excuses why their conditions aren’t pristine & worthy of our $. Last summer/fall/winter was disastrous for many local courses but lack of proper minimum maintenance is inexcusable. Several teeing areas are barren, most greens are 10-25% Poa Annuna even though much has been eradicated. I like the layout with it’s elevation changes, varying lengths of par 3s & potentially reachable par 5s, the R 2 L & L 2 R doglegs & decent layup areas off the tees. The current staff is ambivalent & not the most friendly at the counter but the marshals are at least conversational. Even w the less than stellar conditions it’s OK to play & pay the Sr rate but you’ll have to Power thru the Poa.

Super fun layout!

-Best greens around

-Challenging BUT forgiving

-Range in good shape

-Pace is always 4-5 hour round

Tee boxes are bare and greens do not roll true due to weeds mixed on the greens. Those things need attention. Other than that a great course layout and nice fairways.!!

Fairways and roughs were in winter condition. Greens held the approach shot well, were medium speed, not rolling quite true due to weeds.

Greens had another species of grass growing in it and workers have been hand picking out of several greens but all greens have it. Tee boxes also need some TLC.

Layout / unique aesthetic is fantastic and really felt it could compete with any public spots around Charlotte in that regard. Unique tee-shot selection on a few holes and overall didn’t have a gimmicky feel. Fairways / bunkering / tall pines are also course highlights and generally in good shape. All the par-5s (outside 18) are reachable if you can turn the ball over for a few. Seen a good bit of rain past few days, and while there was some mud throughout, the course seems to drain well.

Feel there is a lot of potential for the course, but the greens need some work before I’d recommend to friends and be a semi-frequent visitor. They do flag ahead of the reservation they are having some green issues (indicated they are working on it), so kudos to the crew for that! Outside of the issue they flagged, the pace green-to-green felt inconsistent, which was odd.

In terms of pace of play, it’s slower as others have pointed out. I was a single and instead of pairing me with a twosome teeing off ahead of me, they kept us as separate groups. While that itself isn’t necessarily an issue when just a few people are playing that day, that decision making ultimately creates more groups and slows down the entire course.

I do intend to try it out again throughout the year, given the team has indicated they are working on the greens and liked the layout.

Played the course many times over the year. Always great to play. The only issue going on currently is some poa annua grass in the greens. They are working hard to remove it, but it does affect some of the putts. Other than that, highly recommend as usual.
