"Worth playing"
The last time I played this course was in 1999. It was somewhat new at the time and built on re-claimed property from a land fill. I was most impressed by the driving range and practice area for chipping and putting. Nearly every course I have gone to in the CLT area...
Played three courses this past weekend:
20th – Rocky River – I hadn’t played this course since last July. Course was in pretty good shape but the greens were sloooowww, slowest I’ve played here in Charlotte.
21st – Eagle Chase – First time here. Course is in pretty good shape. Very hilly fairways but no “bowls” to hit into like many mountain courses. No frills in the clubhouse but that doesn’t matter to me. Well worht the drive from Huntersville.
22nd – Highland Creek – Very dissapointing. Fairways are OK. Tee boxes need some work. The greens are horrendous. I’m pretty sure that there is a local rule that forbids fixing your ball mark on the green. They were the worst I’ve ever seen them.
I agree – the greens at Rocky River couldn’t be any slower. For me, it takes the enjoyment out of the round. Additionally, I think their tee boxes are in poor shape. It’s a shame, b/c this course has such a great layout.
6/22 – Played at Olde Sycamore. This used to be my favorite until Carolina Lakes came around, but I still love it. It was in great shape, quick and fair greens, and a good test of golf. Sign up for their online discounts – some decent deals can be found.
