Do not play now!!
They have lost their greens!! Patchy grass that was not cut, The rest was sand. They claim the rate we paid was a discount rate. I asked about a senior rate and they said everyone was being charged the same.
Don't go until greens are fixed
Have played this course when it was in good shape, and it's great, but something happened to ALL of the greens recently and it's frustrating that they even let people play on them. They put up a sign at check in that they're struggling with greens, but you're already there and ready to play by that time and you don't know what's actually coming or the severity of it. And they say it's a discounted rate to accommodate for this, but $65 is still a joke to pay for those conditions. I wouldn't pay $10 to play there right now.
Great potential
This course in its prime I’m sure is a gem. However when we played, the greens were by far one of the worst I’ve ever seen. First 3 wholes were spent following a guy on running a blower which was not great. Will be willing to give it another try, but for $60 and with green you can putt on, paying more for potential better conditions will be a tough thing to do.
Greens
The course was in good shape, with bunkers and fairways, except for the greens. Almost all were bad, but they are working on it. For the price for a Friday, I will play this course again, even with the bad greens
Rough Rough Rough
Greens need work, like a lot of work. Ever played Pinetuck in Rock Hill SC, yeah on the same page as that course. Putts are bounding and snaking through sand and dirt, not grass. At least here you have decently kept fairways and rough. Oh I almost forgot to mention, if you find yourself in a bunker just take yourself out of it laterally. Other than that it was fine, I think management is working on improving the greens but I’m unbiased so tread carefully if you book here. Better value at other courses for a cheaper rate.
Greens were horrific
The course discounted because of the conditions, but could have done more. Greens were terrible.
Terrible greens
This course is exceptionally beautiful. The fairway's were amazing as well as the tee boxes. The greens however were the worst I have ever seen. I would not recommend anyone golf here until the greens are repaired.
Greens are atrocious
The worst greens I have ever played in my life. Dead spots all over and grass on them. I will never play it again. For the price these courses charge to play they should have some great greens and grass on the course.
Stay Away!
They lost all their greens to a fungus. They should have said something to me when I checked in, I wouldn't have played based on being told. After playing and seeing just how bad they are, there's no way I would have played this course, at any price. It was a waste of time and feel like I was openly cheated.
Need new greens
They've lost every green they have, looks like a fungus. I've played for 50 years and these were the worst greens I've ever seen. I should have been told what I was getting into when I checked in, and given the oppurtunity to back out. No person in their right mind would pay to play this course right now.
Old Syc
While we knew going into it that the greens were burnt I didn’t know that they were basically deserted…in condition and care. The burnt spots were flaky with dried mold. They should have been rolled to flatten them at least. They looked like they had just given up on them. Divots all over. Dried and flaky. Couldn’t hit a straight putt from anywhere.
But if that’s the case I would at least expect them to have a super nice staff to make up for it. Nope. We walked into the pro shop to an older gentleman who didn’t say hello, welcome to the course, how you doing… but instead told my friend who had on a very nice golf shirt without a collar (you know the kind half the pros wear now) “ if you don’t have a collar you’re not playing here. We told him he did have one in the car and so he took our money never telling us how much he was running the card for and then said it two more times… if you don’t have a collar you can’t play so go get it before I run your card. Ok rude but whatever. We then go to the practice area and before we can even putt we were told to go off earlier than our tee time. “Head on up to the first tee so we don’t get behind” Again by an older gentleman. We had a really bad taste in our mouth when we teed off and when we left the course. Nothing like the past times I’d played there. It’s ok to have issues but it’s not ok to be rude to anyone paying you to be there.
You couldn’t pay me to play this course again
I want to emphasize that I have the utmost respect for the grounds crew's efforts to maintain the course under challenging conditions. However, I must express severe disappointment with the overall state of the greens. Every single green is in deplorable condition, covered in large, hard patches of dead, dark brown grass and clumps of sand. These aren't typical burn spots; the grass is completely lifeless, it’s not even really grass, it’s like a scab is growing over the dead grass. I've never encountered greens in such poor shape. To make matters worse, the $60 green fee was charged without any warning about the greens' condition. I will never play this course again.
Terrible Greens
The Greens were by far the worst I have ever seen. Little to no grass on any of them. I have played some courses with bad greens but this by far was the worst. The Tee boxes and fairways were well maintained and course design is good but even at the $50 price I paid I still wanted a refund because of how bad the greens are.. They should really close down until they can address this issue. Staff wasn't bad but I was very disappointed in the state of the course. For what you pay you are better off going to any other course in Charlotte
Greens are gone. Rest of the place is in good shape
First time here and the greens are in horrendous shape. Mainly sand and dirt on many of the holes. It seems the greens have some sort of disease or something. Very bummed out as there was no disclosure of this. No way to play a real round as putting wasn’t possible on many holes. A real shame as the rest of the course was good. Fairways and tee boxes in great shape. Bunkers okay. Driving range in great shape as well. But unfortunately will not return due to the greens condition
Don’t waste your money
Greens aren’t even playable. Please don’t waste your time or money here.
Greens are shot
Unfortunately they lost the greens and they are the worst I have ever seen. Not worth the money. Book elsewhere til next year. Don’t know why a muni would go bent grass this far south.
