8/20/25 - The 500 Club

First time, drove up from S CLT, 70 minutes. Clubhouse, staff, check-in were all fine-those things aren't something I ever care much about & laugh when I read people have issues. The course was played with high expectations, great weather-a Ferris Bueller Day, until....! Teed off on 10-mildly upsetting, my watch (distance) died on 13th hole, partner and friend was crabby-all contributing to a BAD day. The fairways were nice but the first cut bermuda was US Open high! Stepped on more 'lost balls' than I've ever seen-2' off the fairways! Greens undulations were nice but also kept high (heat?) & slower. On the turn-someone jumped in(?) front of us and it slowed play Layout 7/10, condition 7/10, carts had GPS but were slow 5/10, cost 9/10. I know the owners are former NASCAR guys yet the carts were stupid slow. Overall-got what I paid for but wouldn't make that drive again.
