I hosted and competed in TheGrint Tour’s Cinco de Mayo Fiesta tournament here. It was a very challenging windy day but I enjoyed getting back out to Mooresville.

The greens were very good and very difficult as usual. The Bermuda greens are a bit tricky to judge (especially the Donald Ross front 9) and the slopes make even short putts nerve-wracking. I typically average around 30-32 putts but had 37 today with 4 three-putts. Several of my and my playing partners’ putts lipped out viciously. If you don’t have a good day putting, you will have difficulty shooting a good score.

Several holes have significant issues in the fairways where it’s brown and bare – especially holes No. 11 and 18. You can’t even really play those spots as ground under repair because the closest relief may be 20-30 yards away.

About half of the White tee boxes are currently closed for renovation making the scorecard yardages invalid if you are trying to play those tees. For the most part, it seemed like the White tees were moved up in those situations, making them play probably 200 yards shorter for the round.

The layout features several holes with tall grass bordering the fairways and cart paths. These areas are not marked as hazards so the penalty for losing a ball in these areas can be steep and it can slow down pace of play. I wish they would mark these as lateral hazards. This is particularly true on holes No. 5, No. 11 and No. 17.

The golf carts have GPS with accurate pin locations. However, the course does not change the flag colors to designate front/middle/back pin locations. So make sure you check the pin location on the cart screen before selecting a club for your approach.

Overall, Mooresville is a great public golf facility (with 9 holes of Donald Ross) with well-kept challenging greens. It is also one of the best values in the area for the price. It plays difficult so bring your A game!
