Played on 8/10. I went in with high expectations. This has always been one of my favorite layouts with some of the smoothest, fastest greens. I was a little disappointed this time. The residential neighborhood has been built out around the course, changing the scenery and OB lines on a few holes a little bit. The biggest impact, however, appears to be the level of play. This course is somewhat isolated in Union County between Waxhaw and Monroe, but with the new residences and pool/tennis courts/clubhouse, the course has seen much increased play. That has had an impact on the condition of the greens. They were much softer, slower, and marked up than I remember. I expect this won't get any better. The rest of the conditions were fine. Bunkers were in good shape. The hole maps on the carts are very helpful and the course is well-marked for distances. But I miss the fast, smooth greens!
