Description

This older public course in east Charlotte is straightforward and has a laid back atmosphere. Located on the former Harrisburg Road landfill, the facility bears the name of County Commissioner Charles T. Myers, who during his tenure (1969-1970), led the initiative to make the final use of this land a public golf course. The course was designed by renowned golf course architect Bill Love. It's a good course for players learning the game, especially juniors. There are a few ponds that come into play on 4 holes and plenty of bunkers too. In 2018, the course renovated their greens to MiniVerde Bermuda grass - the same grass at their sister course, the Dr. Charles Sifford Golf Course.

Notes

Home of the Impact Performance Golf Learning Center. Wide array of memberships offered, very reasonably priced. The course is managed by Ratcliffe Golf Services and is a sister course of Harry Jones (Renaissance Park), Sifford (Revolution Park) and Sunset Hills.

B-Man's Take

This course has really aged well and Ratcliffe Golf is one of the best management companies in the Charlotte area. The greens are usually very slick now that they changed over to Bermuda. The bunkers and water hazards can eat up strokes. Because of that, I think the course plays more difficult than its rating. My favorite holes are #18, a reachable par 5, and #14, a par 3 over a pond. The view from the 11th green is one of the best around town, especially when leaves change in the fall. My hell holes are usually #6, the #1 handicap par 4 with water along the right, and #8 a par 3 over a pond. The rates here are extremely reasonable and if you ever have a problem or complaint, let Del Ratcliffe and team know about it. They pride themselves on customer service and are great to work with.

  "Worth playing"

  After my negative review from January, I owe it to the course to post an update. I played Charles T. Myers on 4-16-2026 based on a recommendation from a friend who played there the week before. I am glad to report that the Poa Anna infestation is gone. The greens were rolling good. They are much better than they were in January, but many greens still have bad patches from the damage done in a previous year when they were allowed to cook in 90+ degrees temperatures without being watered. No holes were set in the bad areas. When you consider the cost, CT Myers GC is a decent value for the money. The layout is golfer-friendly and the overall condition of the course is good. The bunkers have been rebuilt in the past 2 years and are better than many courses costing much more to ply. The fairways are in decent shape for this time of year. The tee boxes are okay. The staff is as friendly and helpful as you will find anywhere. Don't expect greatness from this course, but it's fun to play, and a good value.

  "Bad, stay away"

  If you are serious about golf, you won't like this course. The greens are infested with Poa Annua. The Bermuda is dormant so the clusters of Poa make for very bumpy, unreliable putting. The rest of the course is in decent condition for this time of year. I played CT Myers in early November and the Poa wasn't as bad as now, meaning that nothing has been done. I don't see how those responsible for maintaining the greens could ignore this problem. Even with the reasonable muni-course green fees it's still a waste of money. I can overlook a lot of shortcomings, but unplayable greens are unacceptable. I'll stay away from CT Myers until the greens are decent.

  "Below average"

  First time playing CT Myers in probably 20 years. Pretty sure I said 20 years ago I’d never come back here. And it’ll probably be another 20 years until I play it again. Especially for 60 bucks. Robbery. That’s a $30 golf course. Period. Until they make significant improvements, $60 is just messed up. If it would have cost $30, like it should have, I wouldn’t have even written this review. Because it’s a muni…and muni’s in this kind of condition cost 30 bucks to play. I’m not sure when this changed but it’s just not right. Maybe some people don’t know what a $60/round course looks like so they just pay it? And it’s not like $60 is some huge amount of money, but that’s beside the point. It’s just not a good value. Charlotte National costs the same to play and is at the very least, 10x better. The greens were just bad. And some were terrible. Crabgrass infested with extremely uneven coverage. Saying they’re bumpy is a disservice to the word bumpy. Think Plinko. Fortunately I was only in one bunker. They were looking pretty suspect but they did seem to have sand in them. So there’s that. The fairways were alright with the exception of 1 of the par 5’s on the front 9. I’m pretty sure there wasn’t even a fairway on this hole. They did do a hell of a job keeping the coolers filled with cold water. Kudos for sure. It was like 99° and I definitely would have died without it. So thank you so much for that! Just make it a $30-$40 course and everything is fine.

  "Worth playing"

  Typical winter conditions. Greens are slow and so slopey that it’s hard to get good putting numbers. Usually very slow I go through in an average time. Paired up with good people. Was damp as it doesn’t drain great and they are working on bunkers. You can see the conditions on my YouTube vlog

  "Never going back"

  This is the first time I've played CTM since Troon took over the management of the course. On a positive note, the staff is friendly and helpful, and they've gotten new battery powered golf carts since the last time I played the course. Other than that, the conditions were appalling. I realize it's been wet the last few days, but I doubt the tees, fairways, and rough have been mowed in at least a week. The greens were slow, and most of them had at least one dead patch. Bunkers had not been maintained, and several had grass growing in them. Multiple holes have sections of cart paths closed because they are either under water or have huge holes in them. Spend your money somewhere else.

  Add Charles T Myers to the list of courses closing for some time this summer. They are replacing their greens with bermuda, just like Charlotte National. So they will be closed in July/Aug.
  
  Help me keep track of the courses closing for some time this summer:
  
  Springfield
  Mooresville
  Charlotte National
  Charles T Myers
  Larkhaven (permanently)
  
  Did I miss one?

  I played Charles T. Myers for the first time in 15 years this past weekend and the course was as rough as I remembered but fine for my purposes. I was playing with my 6 year old for her first time on a "real course with golf carts". I had planned on picking spots for her to tee off close to the green and was pleased when finding the junior tees. She loved having her own tees close to the green. It was also nice that she played for free after 1:00 (which is why I picked the course). Does anyone know of any other courses in the area with a similar set up?
  
  By the way, we were playing as a reward to her and I planned to play how ever many holes she wanted. To my suprise, we left after 17.

  Played yesterday (8/29), course is nothing to brag about. Very slow play, left after 9 holes because I could not be there 5.5 hours. A few greens were OK, but most were starting to get pretty bad. Very bumpy and chewed up for the most part. Overall the course is usually average, but nowadays it's not even that. You may want to give the course time to improve, so maybe try it in a few months.

  I've been playing C T Myers for a while now and this course is going down hill fast. It seems that they care more about building a teaching facility and a par-3 course than keeping up the golf course. Wonder who's getting kick-backs from all that money being spent? Ther are still empty bunkers that have been that way since the middle of the summer and several of the greens have more bare spots than grass. This course used to be a nice place to play, but it's not worth the money anymore and that's a shame. CT Myers could make alot of money, if they would just keep up the golf course and not the managing company!!!!!!!!

  I would have to disagree with Don. I played Chucky T's on 9/30 and the course was in terrible condition. Bare spots on every green and most of the bunkers had mounds of mud/clay piled in it. It hadn't rained in days and there were bunkers still with standing water in them. Of course, you do get what you pay for and my $14 round eased the pain of putting across ball mark craters and bare dirt/sand.
