We played during the 9:00 a.m. hour. The woman handling check-ins was very pleasant, welcoming, and informative. She was giving $8 discounts because the “greens were just cut”—which, as it turned out, was appreciated but didn’t come close to making up for the course conditions.

The warm-up area is disappointing. Separate from the TopTracer facility, it’s extremely small and realistically accommodates only about 4–6 golfers at a time.

The fairways were average at best, with several bare dirt areas throughout the course. The greens, however, were by far the biggest disappointment. They had deep grooves from recent mowing or maintenance, and sand was spread so heavily that several greens looked like concrete from the fairways. Putting conditions were terrible.

The grounds crew also seemed in no hurry to clear the way for golfers, forcing us to wait on multiple occasions.

Overall, this was the poorest-conditioned golf course I’ve played in the Charlotte area. I’m glad I gave it a try because I won’t be going back.
