This course had everything I want. Interesting layout; very good if not excellent greens; well maintained and manicured bunkers, fairways, tee-boxes, etc.

Others have complained about the fairways being too firm? I did not particularly notice this or more accurately did not perceive this to be a problem. All in all right up there among the better public tracks in the area right now. It is priced $10-$12 more than I think is fair, but outside of Charlotte National and Sycamore there aren’t any alternatives for a consistently well conditioned “Championship Caliber” (ie 7,000+ yds)public course on the southeast part of town.

I played solo practice late this afternoon…agree with your assessment…they have a decent “captive” audience and don’t seem to care about being priced competitively. Playing it today I thought about what Highland Creek and Birkdale USED to be. It is a darn shame what the Carolina Trail folks have done to formerly nice courses. As for Carolina Lakes I concure with most of your review.
