We used to enjoy playing at Skybrook. Unfortunately it has slowly become as bad as the other Carolina Trail courses. The fairways were decent and that was the best part. Tee boxes have spotty coverage and what grass there was was not mowed. The rough is mostly weeds and hasn’t been mowed in weeks. Very few bunkers had any real sand in them. Basically the bunkers were big holes in the ground and the dirt was scraped up a little. Some bunkers still have not been raked and are washed out from rain last weekend. The greens were terrible. Lot of bumps, holes, and even a few craters in them. There were no smooth rolling putts today. All putts bumped, bounced, and were knocked off line. Only reason we didn’t leave and go home early was because of the potential of our wives saying “since you’re home early why don’t you cut the grass or go to the mall with me”. Should have come home and got the grass cut and out of the way.

I used to think Skybrook was the second best public access course in Charlotte. Another IRI disaster.

Don’t know why people continue to play these Trail courses. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quack likes a duck, well then it is a duck. Much better options out there.
