I am new to this site and really liked the premise of it. I decided for my first review i would discuss my last round of golf. I used to play birkdale all of the time back when Johnny Harris owned it. WOW has this course really gone down over the years. Greens were just punched and rolled horribly( to be expected i guess.) The worst thing were all the weeds on the course. Areas appeared to not have been mowed in weeks. Bunkers were so inconsistent. Some were good others were horrible. I just dont understand how a course with so much traffic can not afford to put money back into the course. After reading some other reviews i guess thats the common theme on all of the carolina trail courses. Its a shame that some of the best layouts in charlotte seem to be under such poor management. Guess i will be playing more at Old Sycamore.
