Continuing to explore the courses north-northeast of Charlotte. The morning was overcast and in the 40’s with a moderate breeze contributing to wind chill. The Senior rate greens fee was definitely a bargain for this course, on this day. Being new, I purchased the yardage book ($5)which may be a little pricey considering the amount of advertising that is included. However, I would definitely recommend it to anyone unfamiliar with the course. The greens were like a carpet with only poorly recovering ball marks marring the surface. I don’t believe that the latter had any effect on putting – just like Bman’s assessment, they rolled sure and true. The fairways were all brown, but in very good condition. Only a few tee boxes exhibited obvious wear and tear. The afternoon weather improved to sunny and near 60 degrees, and I believe that improved my play on the back nine (3 over for a 39). I will definitely play this course again, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Since your looking at golf course in the north Charlotte area, heres something you might try. I cant take credit for this, someone on this site last year tipped me off on this. Anyway, in Kannapolis there is a private course called Irish Creek. If you go to their web site they have a member for a day pass you can sign up for. I did it last year and they were asking $45 to play. There is no pressure selling or any of that, just show up and golf like you would at any public course. Course was in excellent shape and worth the cost.

Cabarrus Country Club also has member for a day deals during the week, usually on Wednesdays. Now’s your chance to play, because they may eliminate this deal once the new greens are in place.
