Monroe Country Club
1680 Pageland HwyMonroe, NC 28112
(704) 282-4661
Type: Public
Rates: Weekday $20-25, Weekend $30-$37
Practice Area: Putting green that allows chipping. There is a driving range supposedly, but I've never seen it. It's apparently a good drive from the clubhouse.
Description: Public course about 30 miles (45 minutes) from uptown Charlotte. Nine holes designed by Donald Ross, the other nine by Tom Jackson.
Notes: Memberships available for less than $100 per month. Covers green fees. $10 annual handicap fee.
B-Man's Take: I really like this course. Very reasonably priced. Good mix of easy and tough holes. Laid back atmosphere, usually maintains a good pace. Kept in pretty good shape. I especially love the par 5's. They're all usually reachable in 2 from the white tees and give up many birdies. The par 3's on the other hand can be quite a challenge. Hole #2 has a severely sloped green, #9 is a good 3-iron, #11 goes over a pond and #16 can play longer than #9 since it's uphill.

- 8/14/09 - Played on 8/13. The greens are back from aeration and were in fine shape. Very quick. You don't expect these greens to be fast or even that smooth to look at them, but play 18 holes on them and you'll be a believer. The fairways were also in awesome shape. The rough was thick and difficult. I lost at least one ball in it because on many holes you wouldn't find your ball unless you walked right over it. This was more true on the back 9 than the front. One odd issue was the white tee markers were missing today, pulled off to the side. I believe they did this for a tournament, but I was teeing off from what I guessed at the typical spots were -- since the Blues are too long and the Golds too short. I'm pretty sure the whites will be back in place next time. Overall, the course played nicely and I'll be back.
- 7/5/09 - Played on 7/5 and thought the course was in very good shape. The greens were fairly slick and rolled pretty true. The tees, fairways and bunkers were all good. The rough was actually... (more)
