"Great course"

10/20/26: Review by B-Man

Olde Sycamore is now one of the more dependable public courses for conditions and rates. It is a fun layout where you don't need driver off the tee very often and I've played it for over 2 decades. So it feels like an old friend when I get back here to play. The greens...

1/30/24 - Springfield Golf Club "Worth playing" The course is in pretty good shape for the winter conditions. There was hardly anyone there because it was cart path only. HEADS UP! According to the pro shop, it will probably be cart path only through April. Read The Review
10/4/23 - The Divide Golf Club "Worth playing" I've lived in Charlotte for almost four years, and recently discovered this course. I love the layout! I have yet to use the driving range, but I see they have Top Tracer systems in all of the bays. The course is in pretty good shape. I really liked the greens! Fairly quick, and roll pretty true. I moved here from Los Angeles. And after 40 years of playing on Poa Annua greens, I'm still getting used to the greens here. Customer service was great - very friendly staff. There are some areas on the cart paths that are in really bad shape, but I was told they will be fixing those this winter. They're also reding the draiage systems in the bunkers. That work is going on now, so some of the bunkers are torn up. The only suggestion I would give to the course, is get rid of the $4.95 online booking fee. It makes no sense. Read The Review
11/3/22 - Eagle Chase Golf Club "Great course" Played Eagle Chase for the first time yesterday. I had heard about the elevation changes, but I wasn't expecting as much as I saw. If you're a straight hitter, you'll have no problems here. If not, plan on losing balls. The Bermuda rough can be brutal, and if you get in the thick stuff, good like even finding your ball. The layout is spectacular. Can be difficult but fair. The greens were a little slow for me, but they were smooth and true. The undulations in the greens were problematic for me, but it will take quite a few rounds to figure them out. The staff was very friendly a professional. I had read some complaints about the marshals, but didn't even see one all day. On the drive out to the course, it's quite a nice drive through the NC country side. My wife jokingly said "wow, this is in the middle of nowhere". I said, "I know, and I think the zip code is EIEIO". Looking forward to coming back soon! Read The Review
