Charlotte National has a very good layout with a good mixture of holes. The fairways still need some warm temps to come in. The greens were about 90% healed from aeration, and they were cut so the speed has increased. They aren't the fastest in Charlotte, but consistent and roll smooth. Tee boxes were hit or miss, but the ball should be on a tee so why does it matter. Once we get consistent warm weather and some more rain the fairways should green up nicely. Staff is always friendly, and their short game practice area is one of the nicest around. Plenty of room to practice chipping/pitching, sand shots and their putting green is a great size.
kincaid82 at 5/10/10 4:09pm – Well good to hear the National is holding up. I have played it 4 or 5 times over the years, and always enjoy the course,and would have played more except i lived in huntersville. Well i have just moved to Stallings, NC and i am only about 6 miles from the course, so i plan to make this my first choice.The B-Man at 4/16/10 3:52pm – I agree about the staff and especially the practice area. This is where I practice. The practice green is huge and you can work on all types of putts. They also keep the chipping green cut like a real green so you know how your shots will roll out. There's also a good 25 yards of fairway leading up to the chipping green where you can practice longer pitch shots. On the driving range itself, you get a nice big bag of range balls for 5 bucks. You can work on your entire game here.
Ballantyne closes today :-(

For those that may have missed the news last month, The Golf Club at Ballantyne closes for good today. I really hate to see it go and have no idea how they will manage to find comparable golf for their guests to enjoy while staying the hotel. I will always have a plaque...
