Westport Golf Course

Great winter conditions and I can't wait for the spring

Nice greens, fairways good for this time of year, some holes difficult finding ball with leaves on ground this time of year. Overall a great course.

First time played. Very nice course for winter.Looking to play it this spring. Fairways are a bit tight, but forgiving if your not a heavy slicer. Need to get a yardage book and pay attention. My partner and I tee up on the 1st. hole , we didn't look at the book, you are hitting into a valley. We start out and there is a pond, luckily we both were short.
Don't hit driver much, three woods and hybrids.
Slow day behind a walking woman and her riding husband. Still enjoyable and I will be back.
The staff are top notch guys. Thanks

I have played better courses for less money. Ruts in the fairways on quite a few holes and leaf's all over the course it didn't look like they had made an effort to clean the course at all. It had been some months since I last played this course and I think it will be quite a while before I go back.

Westport is looking goods. Greens are running true and smooth. Overall course in very good condition.

This revived Lake Norman classic will reward a shotmaker. Hilly and rough around the edges.

For those who can shape their tee shots around the numerous doglegs, scoring opportunities greatly improve.

Seems to be popular with locals. Freindly personnel.

There were a good bit of gorgeous holes that with some care would be a lot of fun to play. Greens started over very hairy and as the sun baked started to roll nicely. Rough was patchy and couldn't catch many clean lies on the fairway.

Cheap though. May go back to just hack it again.

My wife and I played 18 on Sunday morning in three hours! That's the good news-the bad news is that the greens were painfully slow and the fairway grass was so long it was like hitting out of the rough. It's an interesting course with some challenging holes. We made some birdies and never had to wait. A good course super could really make this place excellent.

Challenging course. Stay out of the rough! You'll pay for it. Greens are very slow but in great condition. Staff is usually friendly except for the Italian guy from New York. They should not have this guy represent the golf club. Extremely unfriendly person.

Booked a hot now tee time on a Saturday morning for $19. For a course like this, that is a steal!

Not an overly long course, I pulled driver only 3 times. You need to be able to place your ball correctly and manage your game. Greens were a little slow in the morning but that is to be expected, they firmed up later on the round. We were greeted when we arrived by the starter and he made sure everyone stayed on time which really helped out the pace of play. Finished the round right at 4 hours, which for a Saturday morning is rare in my experience.

Overall great experience and I will be returning.

Was only able to play 14 holes because it was so slow due to a tournament. Guys in front of us were not in the tournament and played from the back tees which was not appropriate for them. We were the 5th team on the 15th hole waiting to play. After 4 hours and that kind of wait, I left. They had no rangers and water in one place (well fountain) on the course.

Just not a good layout. Many short to medium irons off of tees. A number of blind tee shots with ponds in unusual places. Fairways and rough just ok. Greens were good and true but slow when we played. Back side is much better than front when it comes to optics. Will not play again unless nothing else available. To balance pro shop staff was excellent.

Course is in very good shape. Slow greens and fairways so don't expect a roll out on that drive and hit the putts a bit more firm.

I played from the back tee box. Every tee shot has a challenge. Stay short of a hazard, hit to a tight corner on a true dog leg, or simply long up hill par 3. Speaking of up-hill. At least 2 out of every 3 approach shots are up-hill adding sometimes 1 or 2 club lengths. There are several holes where you will have to lay short of a hazard or simply hit to the dog leg. So even if you are playing a tee box closer you will face long approach shots.

Very good course to play. You will have to be accurate off the tee and don't expect to hit a lot of short iron approach shots. Excellent challenge.

Awesome course. Definitely going to play again. They also have $25:00 Tuesday every week where you can play all the hole you want for just $25:00.

different kind of elevations and dog leg holes make this course look or feel short but is not, really have to play it more than once.. it will not be fair to judge the lay out if you only play it once, personally love it , front nine have me scratching my head and scrambling a lot but that's what makes it interesting; gotta go again and give it a fight,
pros:
good value (golfnow.com)nice fairways, great greens.
cons:
its a bout 40 minutes driving from the steel creek area, no driving range only hitting net

Westport is a good value and quite challenging for a short course. There are blind shots on the course, tight fairways with hazards,

The staff was really nice. The course was in good shape. We played a quick round (pace of play was awesome). I had a good time.

Excellent well managed course. Nice staff and excellent course to play without spending alot of money!

I paid $19 for a hot deal and that was a pretty good deal. They've done a lot of arification so there was a lot of sand on the greens. Put rolled well but just didn't look great. I played here 3 weeks ago and it was immaculate conditions. It should be back to standards in about 2 more weeks.

Fast and cheap is my expectation for a mid-week round, and Westport was exactly that. Fairways and greens in great shape, not a mark on the greens, true rolls but a bit slow. Staff was friendly and helpful. Just know that there is no driving range, so warmup, well, who needs warmup anyway. Many white tees were moved way up which made a much shorter course than expected - almost switched to blues. Overall a great experience.
