"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...
Charlotte Golf Links is closed for good. Sign posted on its door saying they are no longer open for golf as of 03/14/14. Everyone is referred to Skybrook. I wasn’t a fan of the layout, but it’s a shame when a public course closes. Best wishes to its former employees and their families.
That much land, in that part of town… Not that surprising.
One of my friends’ mom ran the concessions there. She said they were blind-sided by the closing. The entrance to that golf course is now going to be entrance to a big ass sub-division or a big ass mall or something like that. There’s a ton of land back there wasting away as a poor golf course for this not to happen.
Where is Dr, Schteeve when you need him. Just a few months ago he called the notion of building houses on these dilapidated golf courses “such a 90’s thing”. The Golf Links is the first of a few courses within that old Carolina Trail that will close permanently. They were driven to the brink of goat tracks that are beyond repair.
