I agree with Karl……In fact, I think all of the courses around the Charlotte area lie about their conditions on a regular basis. I refuse to ever golf again at Emerald Lake because of their staff and cocky attitude. I just recently played Renaissance a week ago and specifically asked the guy behind the counter the conditions of the greens. His response……”excellent, best in the area”. Well, the front nine was “okay” at best and the back nine had several greens that were in “sub-par” condition. I have heard all the excuses as to why the greens are suffering, but if you ask me, it is just plain ignorance. What else really upsets me is that the courses “play” dumb and make no effort to adjust their greens fees to make it a fair deal. I bet none of the course GM’s would buy a new car with just primer on it…! ….I feel ripped off everytime I golf.
