Used cart

Avoid for now

Took 45 minutes to get carts for our tee time group. Tee time was 1:36, teed off about 2:15. I know things are tough with COVID but no other course has seemed to have this problem. The staff was 100% friendly about it but it just looked disorganized.

The greens were very sub-par for this course. They have likely lost #2 for the year if not more.

You can find better value right now.

We apologize for the condition of our greens. The bent grass greens have suffered recently due to a combination of increased play, heat, and rain. We are working hard to have them back in great shape over the coming weeks. Thank you for your understanding and hope to have you back out this fall when the greens have healed up.

Rough year for the greens

I’ve always enjoyed this course, tough layout, plenty of variety and always has been in great shape for the value. Greens have gone through it and 75% of pretty bad. Looks to be out of their control but other than that it’s a great course

Nice course Terrible greens

Course needs a new greens keeper. The greens are riddled with black spots,, ball marks, and is super soft.

One of the worse greens (every hole!) I have ever played. This would be a really great course if they had someone that could get the greens into playable condition. It’s been like this for several months. I’ve gone back every few weeks in hopes it’s gotten better, only to be disappointed once again.

I have a better putting surface on the carpet in my house.

Course off my play list until it gets better.

Terrible greens

Course is fun don’t get me wrong. Tee boxes and fairways are in good shape. The greens though, almost ruin the whole course. Yes they were punched a couple days before I got there but I have played at places with freshly punched greens. This, did not help these terrible greens in anyway. I will gladly play here again once they figure out their green situation. Balls don’t roll, greens are full of sand and spots with no grass.

Lost their greens

Some of the worst greens I’ve ever played on outside of your local muni goat track. All are completely lost yet they haven’t lowered rates any. Not worth going back for quite some time

Nice course but...

It’s a nice course and layout, but the greens were horrendous. Definitely could have changed the pin placement more recently or even make sure greens are more ready to play.

Disappointed

The back nine was closed without warning when booking. The greens are in horrible shape. They are currently working on them, but for now they are terrible. Other then that, it is normally a very nice course.

Decent course, trash greens

This course is a fun one to play. My only concern is the greens. It looks like they are working on it but they are so terrible. The value right now with the greens condition is over priced. $65 on a weekend for cheese grater greens isn't worth it. If players would fix their divots if may be in better shape but unfortunately they let it get it if hand.

AVOID

These greens might be the worst I have ever played in Charlotte. Tee to green was in excellent shape, but the greens looked like napalm went off on them. $50 greens fees and no warning at all anywhere. Incredibly disappointed.
