"Great course"
First time playing here --- very impressed with the greens as the Sunday Ultra-Dwarf Bermudagrass is as advertised! Very smooth and they roll true. A good variety of holes and good risk/reward shots as well. Hard to get into too much trouble here. Enjoyed it very...
Okay, I’ve been consistently tough on CLT Golf Links, because there’s so much potential at this Tom Doak course and I hate to see it treated poorly.
Good news (at last). The greens have made a comeback. They’re still cut high and slow, but they’re rolling and I didn’t see any beetles today — a good sign. Fairways in decent shape. It’s obvious they’re clearing out some of the high rough to speed up rounds a bit. Now if they can just improve the bunkers, this underrated star may shine bright again.
B-man,
Stop stalking me! It seems we were at the Links on the same day again…we’ve played the same courses on the same day a few times now!
Agree with you on conditions: fairways were lush and greens rolled true. Bunkers are still a mess. And in a town where very few people repair ball marks on greens…Links greens have chicken pox. I repaired about 5-6 ball marks on every green.
But for me, the killer on the Links is the pace of play. I tried to squeeze in a round at 5:30 p.m. and had to wait nearly 5 minutes for every shot. It was backed up like crazy…and it seems to be backed up every time I play the Links. It gets too much play and seems to attract Charlotte’s most inconsiderate golfers.
