Local rumors are true
Greens in bad shape, and no one rakes bunkers or fills divots. The senior community association and members run a muck and are not held accountable. Slow pace of play middle of the week.
Improved
The course is in good shape for the winter. Lots of bunkers. Greens can be tricky but rolled fair.
No joke
This course deserves 4.5 stars and would receive 5 stars if it wasn’t winter conditions. The course is tough and the layout is great and the greens are fast. In my opinion this is the best public course in the Charlotte Area.. Can’t wait to play it in it’s green glory….
So slow
5 hours and 20 minute round, makes me want to quit the game I love. I blame ignorant, rude golfers so if you read this and are butt hurt please try bowling instead of golf. Four hour max is reasonable i dont care if you shoot 100 or 70 just keep it moving. Wish courses did a better job of policing it but never going to happen, keep telling us cart path only on par 3's and the pin locations at the start of the round and hope everything works out.
Great Course!
Wonderful course for beginners and advance golfer’s. This course provides great scenery along with spacious hole’s that can be challenging. It allows you to challenge yourself and perfect your game.
Playing Behind a Five-some
I’m not sure why the course would allow a five-some on the course. Was only able to play 14 holes as a single. The course was in decent shape and the pro shop personnel were very nice.
Not too happy
Booked as a single, no disclaimer that I would be paired with 3 others. Would not refund since I was booked through GOLFNOW app. 4th golfer never showed up and course was backed up. Couldn’t finish 18. 3 hours to get through 9 with game play in front of us.
Overpriced average course
Let me start by saying the course was just ok. Nothing special about it. The staff was fine. The driving range was fine. The course itself was decent but not for the price. The course was on par with any average municipal course in the US, but nothing special. None of the holes were particularly inspiring and the bunker placement and quantity seemed random and uninspired.
As for the other stuff. No water coolers on any holes, no trash cans on any holes. No clubhouse snack shop. No gps in the carts. No clubhouse turn.
All in all if this was a $50 course it would be fine, still not great, but I would suggest finding another option at this price. I have no interest in playing it again and will look for other options in the area.
In good shape
Course is in good shape and is challenging. Greens were fast.
Golf course
Hello! The golf course plays really well and I enjoyed my time playing there. The staff, inside and outside were really friendly however management could be better from the things that I seen and have heard. Overall, great course and I will be coming back soon!
Very disappointing
Played on Oct. 12, 2024. Was excited to get out and play a new course. No problems with arrival or getting to the first tee. Once I teed off, it was a slog fest of an afternoon. The routing of this course is excellent; will say that off the bat. Could’ve used longer tees, but that may also have been an issue with me being there for the first time. Greens were bumpy which was disappointing this time of year. Pace of play was brutal; took 4.5 hours to play 16 holes as a single. Staff really should have stepped in and asked slow groups to pick up the pace or let others play through, which is a management issue (I get it), but it took what should have been a nice afternoon and turned it into a disaster. I did not get my money’s worth out of the course, and do not expect to be back for some time.
Disappointed
I was disappointed with the course conditions.
A couple holes were actually closed for unknown reasons (did not see any persons working on the holes that were closed), greens showed signs of neglect and were ridiculously slow. I paid a reduced rate throughGolf Now and still felt ripped off. Won’t play again anytime soon..
Worst experience. Greens and 2 holes were shut down and we still paid over $100 each
Hopefully, we get our money back because it was very very slow play, 3 holes underwater and greens were bad
Value?
For the $100+ round, I was hoping for better course conditions. Greens were slow and in average condition. Fairways were inconsistent with nice fairway grass in some spots, but bare in others. Pace of play was a little slow, but not too bad…. almost 5 hours. Will play again, but not for $100+.
