"Great course"
Background: First time in 5 years posting a review; 6 month's since playing following a year of health issues; and 3 years since last (recorded) play at Skybrook. Observations: Addition of two, new restrooms on the course is a BIG improvement; trap's and bunker's conditions...
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.
