Will try again, but .....

Conditions were not very good. Lots of rain recently may be part of excuse, but the tee boxes were poor, sand traps were very hard, and fairways and overall grass was worse than just wet. Also the greens had just been punched and sanded and there was no indication of this when booking.

I will be back.

Finally got a chance to play Carolina Lakes. Great layout with elevation changes made for a fun round.. On par with Cobblestone golf course in Blythewood.

Great layout.

Fun course, no one in front or behind me. They still use motor powered golf carts... Mind blown. Cool karts.

Decent course

Staff is friendly for sure, which is the best part of this course. Course is good, but unfortunately it was rough due to the rain from two days ago. It needs better drainage. I’m not a fan of playing next to houses, but it wasn’t too bad thanks to the fact that it has enough vegetation. Overall pretty good but you do feel you’re playing at a retirement community and not in nature.

Over priced

Not worth the money. The fairways need to be over seeded with rye. The Bermuda is bare and dead. Even in the summer rough shape. If you charge that much you need a hybrid turf.

Terrible conditions

Love this golf course normally but I’d wait at least a couple weeks to play it. I know we’re pre spring but conditions were awful all around. Particularly for $80.

Great shape and dry

Played Eagle Chase as they always have very firm greens and handle wet conditions well. Yet again they did not disappoint. The greens were firm and no bare spots on them. The fairways were dry and had a spot or two that were bare. Grass is still dormant but compared to other Charlotte courses the conditions are amazing. Go play it and it’s always worth the drive.

Beautiful Layout

Took my adult son out there on Super Bowl Sunday.

Pretty much had the place to ourselves. He commented that he would love to play it again. It is a beautiful and challenging course and we both enjoyed it.

Looking forward to coming back when everything is green again! :-)

Pro must not like having visitors

It may be because I paid for my round with golf pass, but the pro was rude and unhelpful. Lots of walkers on the course and no amenities. Go play elsewhere

Unfortunate Pace of Play

We were stuck in a log jam. 3 hour front nine. Was disappointed in lack of ranger involvement. Otherwise, the greens were a little beat up. Course a little wet and it hadn’t rained in 5 days. Wasn’t worth the money or drive from Southend/Uptown Charlotte (35 mins).
