Poorly Managed

This was once a beautiful golf course however it seems over the last several years, course maintenance has just been severely lacking. The fairways are littered with dirt patches and weeds. The greens are rock solid and covered in sand as well as areas of the green are bare with no grass almost like mini bunkers on the green. The other golfers on the course seemed to have no respect for the course which didn't help, AKA driving right up on to the tee boxes, and directly down the fairway right up to the greens.

Tough Course w/ Decent Value for Beginners

The course isn’t beautiful, (Tee boxes and fairways need a good deal of work) but the greens are well kept and relatively fast.

Very interesting holes….lots of doglegs. Provided a good challenge and great entertainment for a beginning golfer such as myself.

No driving range, putting green needs work, hotdogs at the turn were excellent.

Better courses for the money

Course needs a ton of work. Fairways don’t exsist. Greens are horrible. Tee boxes are basically grass areas of dirt. Was told the owner stopped investing into course and started investing into building houses. I guess owner doesn’t realize owners houses would like a nice course to play in a great area. Sad to see how much potential course has. Hard layout but overall fun to play if it were in better condition.

Bring a Draw

Play with someone who knows the course just so you don’t lose 3-4 balls on blind tee shots or unexpected bounces (I really wish I had - the yardage book is only somewhat helpful). If you can’t play a draw, you’re out of luck as a large percentage of holes either require or reward that shot shape off the tee.

Majority of holes have significant elevation changes which is different than most courses in the Charlotte area - if you don’t enjoy that style of golf go somewhere else. I switched tee boxes on a couple of par 3’s just to hit more clubs in my bag.

Grass quality is hit or miss - most lies are fine, but it does affect the smoothness of the roll on several greens. Overall still pretty playable.

This is a course for those who enjoy golf and don’t mind some rough edges. I’d play again if I knew I’d be paired with a regular, but will not be frequenting the course.

Westport

The golf course conditions were very poor, perhaps from season change perhaps from understaffing but fairways and rough un mowed and greens in bad need of mowing. A lot of bare ground in playing areas. Cart paths in bad shape. Better value around the area for similar price

Great Location, Laid Back atmosphere

Westport is my neighborhood course. It is very playable. The greens need a little TLC but it’s not unfair. I expect it will green up pretty nicely as the Bermuda takes off in the summer. Worth the money and the pace of play is as good as anywhere.

Good people, bad course

Very friendly staff and everything. But the course is definetely in very bad condition. In every sense, the tees, fairways, greens. Cool if you wanna hang out and shoot some balls but definetely not a well mantained course

Course need some up keep

The course wasn't a bad course at all, especially for the price. The course needs some improvements in terms of the greens. Since the golf season just opened up, I'm assuming the course still needs some time to get the grass to look good, but I definitely didn't think it's worth multiple visits unless you want something cheap and out of the way.

Not bad

Course had a good level of challenge but they need to put some time into this place. Some of the greens were pure dirt. I think it’s a little pricey for the conditions of the course. I will play again just for the different elevations on some holes.

Nice course, conditions poor

I have played this local course over the past 3 yrs, and the conditions were pretty poor. Sparse grass on tee boxes and fairways. The greens look like they were just aerated or they may be changing the grass type. Hard to know since we are between seasons..winter and warmer weather has started and it's been fairly dry. If the owners don't make some changes soon, it will be a cow pasture.

I hope that's not the case as it is a nice layout.

Rough Spring Conditions

Westport could be a great course. The layout is challenging but fair. Course conditions in late March were not at all good. Bare mud on poorly marked tees and wet conditions made this a less than picture perfect course. Cart paths are in need of some serious repair in spots. On the other hand, the course distance and elevation booklet was quite good. There was no warm-up area for putting or driving,

This was a low cost day of golf. Nothing wrong with that.
