The last time I played this course was in 1999. It was somewhat new at the time and built on re-claimed property from a land fill.

I was most impressed by the driving range and practice area for chipping and putting. Nearly every course I have gone to in the CLT area is challenged to keep real grass growing on the driving range tees but not this place.

Over all this course is about what you would expect for a Charlotte area public course. The tee boxes are in decent shape, the fairways are spotty with grass that needs water and scattered bare spots. The cart paths are a disaster. Broken concrete and MIA in many cases, at times you’re on gravel.

Sometimes a challenge getting on the correct cart path from green to tee, the paths are not well marked.

What I found exceptional was the condition of the greens. Not a single bare spot on any of the 18 greens. all well cut and rolling true.

There are quite a few blind shots, up hills and severe dog legs. There is a fair amount of water and you’ll be punished for missing the fairways.

If you’re distracted by the sound of gunfire, you might want to avoid this course as there is a nearby gun range.

I played 18 holes with a cart for $34.00 bucks with the Perks + plan.

Even though they have a dining room and kitchen, it remains closed due to COVID.
