 I haven’t played here in a while. I think the price is steep for the conditions. I was a little disappointed in the front nine. There were multiple greens in poor condition, including three that were under repair. The back nine was in better shape. The guys in the club house were cool, the cart girl handed out some free ice pops which was clutch. I would play again. Read The Review

 For as much as people gas up this course, there were a lot of issues. First off, zero points deducted for renovations happening at the clubhouse. You cannot fault them for improving there.
One can, however, fault them for taking their eye off the ball of the course to make a new clubhouse happen. 1/2 of the tee boxes were desert landscapes. Golfers who swing out of their shoes will fall victim to gravity as they slide around the tee box. There were multiple holes, better than half, that had major erosion issues. Bare roots, bare spots, and muddy ruts plagued, especially on the back nine. Last critique, the waste land areas are full of clay and rocks.
The greens are in great shape, they roll true as can be. They are in great shape this winter. The staff is very kind. I just expected more based on the way local golfers sing about its superiority. Read The Review

 It was my first time playing Eagle Chase. I had NYD off, so I could dedicate time to drive from Huntersville. They didn't charge a holiday rate, just a regular weekday rate. This is now my second favorite track in the area and I cannot wait to come back and play. Some tee boxes were rough. The greens were impeccable. Read The Review

 I booked this round at Red Bridge based 100% on the reviews posted to this site. When I pulled up, the entrance befits the reviews then it falls apart. Everything about this club screams “we ran out of money.” They were going to build a parking lot until they ran out of money. They were going to build a clubhouse until they ran out of money. They were going to have a snack bar until they ran out of money. They were going to repair and maintain the golf carts until they ran out of money.
The good news, I know where the money is. It is obviously spent on the course. The greens, fairways, bunkers, pristine! The layout is really cool but the signs are confusing and don’t give you clear directions on where to head next. There are a lot of elevation changes, really really long Par 5s, including two back to back.
The Verdict: this course is great but needs to be invested in. Read The Review

 Birkdale is still getting better! The golf shop is very well stocked with supplies, from premium to value. They just added Puma gear which makes sense since they carry Arnold Palmer stuff and it’s an Arnold Palmer course. Food menu is still lackluster: just Glizzies, Turkey, or Ham sandwiches. Great beer and liquor assortment and friendly bartenders. They now have a beverage cart heading through the course though I played 18 and never saw it.
The course itself is in great shape. Greens were fast but rolling true. The rough is cut for a challenge if you miss a shot. The bunkers are hard packed which is surprising since they recently had the sand replaced. Tee boxes are sandy at this point and most holes need to be rotated.
It’s still one of the very best public courses. Read The Review

I cannot wait for the parking lot to be done. It is slightly inconvenient to wait for the golf cart shuttle. Once you're there its a non issue. The clubhouse is cool but in need of serious updating. There was no food available just booze. They do fill coolers with ice for you and I dig that a lot. The pro shop is well stocked with product you actually want to buy. The course is in good shape. The bunkers around the greens are soft, the greens are receptive (except 9, which to be fair is a new green). I really enjoy this course and look forward to its return to glory. Read The Review

This course was in much better shape than the last time I played it. The greens are in fantastic condition. The front nine has some big drainage issues and even though it hadn't rained in days, I had a couple mud balls. The back nine is really fun with some interesting and challenging holes. I enjoyed the bar / snack area, the renovations have been really well done. They should work on their pro shop assortment for sure. Read The Review

 I played last Friday, a sold out holiday weekend so I knew what to expect for pace of play. Took about 5.5 hours to play the course. There were marshals out and about but there were no gaps to be found.
The course has gotten better as the season has gone on. I know they plan to replace the greens next year but they are finally in good shape and since we haven't had drought, they aren't scorched. The bridges are all brand new which was a grave concern before. Fairways are a little splotchy on some holes but this place seems to be very well cared for.
The value is there compared to the comparably priced courses in the area. Their clubhouse and pro shop are top notch, well stocked, and the food is really good.
BEST 18th HOLE IN THE AREA! Read The Review

- "Below average"
 The Good: The parking lot and facilities are in great shape. Beautiful building. The snack bar was clean, stocked, and the staff was really kind and friendly. Good beer selection. Prices were fair inside. Most of the fairways were in great shape. A few drainage issues seemed to muck up parts of the fairways. The layout is awesome, some holes reward accuracy, some reward precision, and the green complexes are complicated but very playable.
The Bad: The greens were advertised and bragged on and 1/3 of them were burned or had weeds poking through. There were some questionable hole placements trying to keep people away from the pock marked parts. The tee boxes were covered in sand yet the sand traps were rock hard and devoid of sand. The cart paths are horrendous and are not safe. There is also two very questionable bridges. Maintenance is a must. The assortment at the pro shop was more football related than golf related, it felt like they cleaned out an off brand mall sports store.
The Ugly: They charge a booking fee on their site and don’t book on 3rd party sites. They do not offer twilight rates, and they are overpriced, especially compared to their sister courses. No public course should be priced above Mooresville or Verdict Ridge. Further, Pinnacle has nicer courses in their portfolio, Birkdale, Highland, and The Tradition are all in better condition for the same or less money. Read The Review
