Type: Semi-Private
Rates: Weekday $36-$49, Weekend $49-$59
Practice Area: Great place to practice all facets of your game. Grass tee driving range. Chipping green with sand bunker. Large putting green.
Description: This residential course is located just off I-485 in the Matthews-Mint Hill area. Several holes can be seen from the highway as you drive by. Fun course to play with different types of challenges -- water, tight fairways, length, doglegs and bunkered greens -- evenly sprinkled among all 18 holes.
Notes: Memberships offered as a part of the Carolina Trail set of courses.
B-Man's Take: Another course I grew to like once I got to know the nuances -- such as where you can hit driver off the tee and where you should play it safe. The course has a very good mix of easy and difficult holes, but overall to score well you'll have to keep your tee shots in play. My favorite holes are the 501yd par 5 5th hole, reachable in 2 with a good drive, and the 568yd par 5 18th, the signature hole with an approach over water. The course can play tough too, so there are hell holes here and there, including the 414yd par 4 4th hole, with its narrow fairway, and the 185yd par 3 7th from an elevated tee over water (choose the right club!). Grab their Preferred Player Card ($65) to get the best rates at this Carolina Trail course.

- 3/18/10 - Played on 3/18. The course was a little soggy and so it was cart-path only. I think they are a bit stingy when it comes to that. Twice in the past month they've even had the driving range closed because it was supposedly too soggy. Say what? At any rate, The Divide was my last resort today because my first two choices had no room for me this morning. That's about how I would describe The Divide -- play only as a last resort. The greens had been aerated and were not very good. The tees and fairways were splotchy with muddy spots. Another thing that bothers me is that the GPS was measuring to the middle of the green and not to the pin, which makes it little better than the yardage markers on the ground. Overall, I might play here 2 or 3 times a year, but I can't recommend it.
