I Recommend This Course
Solid public option
Decided to play 9 late Friday - course in good shape overall. Some greens are browned out but to be expected in June.
Pace of play was good.

Smart shots needed
Good course. Fun layout that forces you to play smarter rather than try and crush every shot.

Great public course, nice greens!
In the past, the conditions here have been questionable… but so far this year, I have been pleasantly surprised. I’ve played several times, and it’s been in fantastic shape. The bent grass greens are in great shape. And the layout of the track has always been fun. The weekend prices are too high in my opinion, but I would definitely recommend the course.there is good value during the week and in afternoons. It’s currently a top 3 public course in the Charlotte-area in my book.

It was in great condition. It is challenging and technical with lots of hazards and a few narrow fairways. Greens were excellent. Definitely worth paying a little extra to get out here and play.

Extremely slow
Great course played which was crazy seeing every hole was backed up 3 groups deep. Poi’s poor management on that end but great place, hopefully they figure out how to move it along. That’s 2nd time in two months it was god awful slow

Old Gem but Great Time
Finally got to check out this course. Had some concerns with mixed reviews, but the course was in good shape (grass a bit long but not too bad), challenging as in it pushed us to use a club other than driver off the deck, clean, well-maintained. I am glad I took the chance to check it out. Look forward to coming again and more often. May not be the most updated in clubhouse or tech, but still a great time!
