Westport Golf Course

Course is in terrible shape. Greens are Horrible!

Hope it gets in better shape, I like the layout.

First and last time playing here. Cart path feels like I’m off-roading, the tee boxes are hammered, only 2 greens are decent. For what I gathered from the person I played with (local person) that this course and the previous owner have fallen on completely off the face of the earth.

I would not recommend this course to anyone else they improve the overall conditions of the course.

Conditions are terrible. Fairways and tee boxes are trash and the greens are full of weed. Ownership is delusional if they think their current rates are justified whatsoever, and the fact there are 4 and 5-star reviews for this course is highly suspicious as they do not reflect the reality of the course.

Westport has a great layout and is typically fun to play. However, the course seems to be working its way into disrepair. The cart paths are extremely bumpy. I am sure some of the contents in my golf bag fell out over the course of 18 holes. Many of the trees separating the fairways have been cut down so you are in the firing line when playing opposing directional holes. The stumps, trunks, branches, and mulch from the trees has not been removed, creating vast areas of unplayable lies and places to lose your ball. Worst of all, the greens. I felt insulted to have paid $60 to have access to greens in such poor shape. When I arrived at the green for number one, I cussed because I thought it was sand. What I actually saw was brown grass with hundreds of splotches of sprouting grass causing putts to “plinko” toward the hole. It wasn’t until hole 7 that I saw a green a felt was almost decent. And that “decent” rating only applies to 4 or 5 greens. I could go on and on but I want to be somewhat fair to what few golf courses are still available. It will be a while before I play Westport again.

Had a 10:50 pre paid GN Tee Time, showed up at 10:20 to find the entire club locked down with no lights on. After 40 minutes of trying to call the course and GN one of their employees showed up and said he would get us sorted. At that point we said don’t worry about it, 40+ minutes past our tee time wasn’t worth it. The club employee informed us that he was going to check us in anyways so we would still be charged via GN. Still in dispute between the course and GN, but GN should be able to see when the course “checked” us in and see that it was well past our scheduled tee time because their shop employees can’t show up for 3+ hours after they are scheduled to open. Entire process makes me never want to play that course again and drop my GN membership. Terrible experience from the course and Golf Now.

Don’t understand how this place is $60 dollars a round when it’s got dirt piles for tee boxes, and the greens being in the shape they are in.

Don’t have a tee? No worries they have not picked any up in months so you have a nice selection

Cart path.. yeah they don’t really have one where your drink won’t jump out the cups holder

The staff was super friendly and easy in and out. Never too crowded as the course could use some more work. Since the trees were taken down between holes on front 9 it is a little easier to play and lot more forgiving. Biggest drawback is its kinda in no mans land between Charlotte and Hickory so drive is a bit long

I had a tee time at 9:40 AM. When I arrived at the first tee, I noticed that there were three more groups with tee times just five minutes apart. It seemed like they were trying to maximize their revenue. Additionally, there were many trees that had been cut down on the side of the fairway, not picked up. No range. Greens, fairways and tee boxes in good shape. Great staff.

For the money the course has great layout and the greens are very good! Need some work on the fairways and rough.

Do not waste your time going to this excuse of a golf course.

They’re removing some trees but the course itself was pretty good

As a beginner, this course is not took care of. I have a $30 discount and still was not worth the money. Course is not well taken care of, very high grass. Had trees cut down just laying on ground. Very disappointed with the course due to the area it’s in. Talked to locals, they said owner don’t care about course and wants to sell for houses. Would not recommend to any level of golf player.

Huge improvement over last year. They cut down a lot of trees. And some folks are mad about it. I’m so happy they did. It’s letting the grass actually grow in. And you can actually see fairway/rough and not just a goat track. The cartpath still needs work and the greens are very slow but it’s clear they’re making an effort to improve this place and bring it back. It’s not an overnight thing but it’s a public course and a good value. I played 9 with a cart for $27. That’s the cheapest around and definitely worth it now. Last year I would have told you any cost was too much. But this year is a different story. I’m excited about the future of this local muni.

Gave this place a shot even after reading all the terrible reviews. I was unbelievably surprised at what I found. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all well taken care of and in great shape. There are a lot of dead trees around from what appears to be a landscaping project but they are not in or on the course itself. If fact, if you like to hit into the woods a lot, you may have an easier time finding your ball. Either way, this is an outstanding course for the fees they charge.
