Good challenging course

You have to think on this course. Many greens had bad spots. Otherwise, big greens with good roll. The bad spots on the greens lowers the value for the money. Tees and fairways were in good shape.

Not worth the money

Greens are awful. Fairways not much better. Summer time and there is no water to drink anywhere on the course. Can’t believe I paid $82 for this.

Horrible Course

The greens were one of the worst in town with numerous dead spots throughout every hole. The staff is super oblivious to what customer service is. The round was $80+ but course conditions dictated $30 green fees. Be aware and don’t give this course your money for at least a year.

Poor visit

Course was in rough shape. Grass on greens was gone, tee boxes were terrible. No water on the course (post covid) during these 90 + degree days in SC. Would expect a lot more for spending $70+ dollars today for 18.

Treat the early birds better

Had a 705 tee time, shame on me on forgetting that they run them off 1 and 10…played the first 9 in 1:40 , hit the turn at 850 second 9 took 3 hours that’s unacceptable when you’re paying top dollar. I love the track but I won’t be back until winter when no one else is playing. The infusion of later golfers clogging up the round just doesn’t sit right with me. Completely kills the enjoyment of the round waiting 2 groups deep on every hole.

Great course

Great course! Great shape and great layout! Only thing is no water on course and only 2 trash cans. The people at the turn grilling hotdogs and hamburgers made us wait 15 minutes because it wasn’t 10 o’clock. So we got backed up a little bit. Just sell the hotdog…they were done.

Arrogant Staff

Layout is nice for the charlotte area and convenient to play from Waxhaw. Unfortunately the staff thinks they run a muni and want singles to share a cart. Once they figure out they are a pretty nice course and staff as such I would go back.

First Time Playing

Tough course for an older player

Lots of elevation changes, fairway side slope, ravines, water and traps in abundance. Greens were great, but fairways on the rough side. Traps have great sand to hit out of

It would have helped to have a scorecard with course layout on the back, particularly for a first-time player.

Good greens and layout

Good greens offset by tight lie fairways. Green on 12 is having trouble... will the grass grow? Good layout and range area. Regular rates are high...look for a deal.
