Just some comments on some of the courses I’ve played in the last couple of months.

Renaissance – completely disagree with the comments earlier. The only issue I had with this course is that it’s sometimes hard to find a flat spot on the tee.

Emerald lake – completely agree with the last comment. Not going back.

Regent Park – played there Wednesday. Greens were a little fuzzy and slow but the course is in great shape.

Springfield – Always in great shape.

Cleghorn Plantation – made the drive and was dissapointed. Course is gorgeous. Great views, elevation changes, etc. Tees, fairways, bunkers all in great shape. Greens were terrible. They have something growing besides grass. It made them virtually unputtable and ruined the round.

Olde Sycamore – always in great shape.

River Oaks – greens were very good. Tee to green, not so much. Needs some work, Not worth the drive unless you’re north of town.

Glen Oaks – I really liked this course. They seem to take a lot of pride in this course. Some really pretty holes and at least one where you tee off across a road. Worth the drive.

Deer Brook – I wasn’t all that impressed but I was out there after some bad weather. I’ll try it again before passing judgement.

Rock Barn – Played the Jones course and it was great as you might expect from a course that is a Senior Tour stop.

Charlotte Golf Links – It’s horrible. Don’t bother.

Moorseville Muni – You hear different things about hhis course but I liked it. A few of the tees needed a lot work but I thought the fairways and greens were very good. They seem to do a lot of 1st Tee/ Junior golf up there. There were lots of kids walking the course Mother’s Day.

Have played Eagle Chase, Fox Den and The Warrior also. All were in good shape and worth going to play.

Playing Edgewater in the morning. I’ll update my last comments about it.

A comment about Ballantyne Resort. They really aren’t interested in attracting local golfers over there. It’s all about packaging rounds with rooms and corporate outings.
