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.

Greens are in terrible shape

I play this course a lot since I live nearby. It has a nice layout and the staff is great however with the increase demand for golf from covid there has been an increase in the green fees. The course gets a lot of play. The greens are in terrible shape, some of them actually have very little grass left. The pace of play on the weekends is very slow.

Bad Greens

The greens are the worst played on this year. Inconsistent grass, so soft when you try repairing ball marks you just pull up more dirt.

The layout of course is excellent and the course has so much potential but the greens make it a good walk spoiled.

Greens were horrible

I’ve played this course numerous times and the greens this time were horrendous especially when you consider how much they want for this course now. Luckily, I had a deal and didn’t pay the regular price. I really like this course, the layout is great and the staff is very nice but they really need to do something about those greens

Great course..until you get to the green

Played here a couple years ago and the course was fine. Returned this weekend to hopefully re-introduce it into the Charlotte rotation. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, and bunkers are in great condition. However, the greens are a joke. It looks like someone took a shotgun and blasted every green 30 times over. Beyond being ripped to shreds, they are somehow incredibly soft for the middle of summer. Cannot imagine how they will look once the perma-wet conditions of the winter roll around.

I have hope the course can fix the greens and it return to being a great deal. But for $65 you can find much better in the area.

Terrible greens

It had been 2 years since I played here last, and I was reminded why I stayed away for so long. The greens are in terrible shape. It’s a shame because it’s a nice layout, but my god the greens suck. I doubt I’ll ever play here again. I’d much rather drive 15 more minutes and play Eagle Chase.

Great Layoit and Pace but terrible Greens

Always loved the layout and the overall pace of play but was shocked to see how bad the greens were maintained. No one repairing ball marks and large patches of diseased grass everywhere on the greens.

Poor management

After going to the clubhouse to pay, we were stopped by the "starter" who needed to thoroughly review our receipts to ensure we weren't sneaking on a rural course on a weekday. We were then stopped again by another staff member to confirm our tee time. Did not make us feel very good about playing here with all the harassment before we even got our first shot. Completely unnecessary. Once we did start you realize the greens are almost unplayable. Poorly maintained and plenty of better options out there..

I don’t understand!

I can’t understand why this course cost so much. I caught a deal and payed 35 bucks. The fairways were pretty good but the greens need a hug. I can’t understand how people pay 65-80 bucks for this average course!

Solid track!

Greens were soft but still quick with nice breaks. Greens were a little beat. People need to fix their ball marks. Rough was fair and tee boxes were in good shape.

Great Layout, Poor greens, Very lousy sand traps, Rough needs cut!!!

Great layout, variety of holes.. HOWEVER greens are in terrible shape, some are dying, bare spots, unfixed ball marks, no consistency from one to another. SAND TRAPS ARE THE WORST. Grass growing in them and most lack any sand. Like hitting off hard pan. Not worth whatever money you pay to play even if it's a deal through golf now. Rough needs cut. Can't find ball unless you step on it!!!!!

Receptive Greens

I’m not sure what is going on at this course, the greens are absolutely awful, just over saturated, every shot will plug on the green, and good luck putting. Spend your money elsewhere, will give another shot next year. As for this year the greens are shot.

Very slow, greens were in bad shape, other players are rude.

Course let people walk before noon on a Sunday, which slows down everyone else.
