Has anyone played Carolina Lakes/Sun City lately? It’s always been hit or miss, and for the rate they charge for the weekend, I’d rather not frop over $70 for terrible conditions. TIA
Sorry this is late, but I just got some further updates this week. It seems the greens at Carolina Lakes have some kind of disease or fungus and are not in good shape. Given the challenges Bentgrass has with the summer heat already, this is not good news.
I’ll keep this thread updated as I find out more.
I played there a few weeks ago and many of the greens were diseased. There were also similar problems with some of the fairways, such as #13. The back nine is in worse condition than the front. The course was also damaged from a strong storm and had numerous trees down that had been pushed out of the way. I won’t be back anytime soon – they were charging $79 a round for that!
