"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...
The Carolina Golf Journal, the newspaper-like publication found at vaious courses, has an article stating The Divide is “Returning to ‘must play’status”. I always enjoyed the layout, but haven’t played it since 2016. Was disappointed then and this was after avoiding it for 6 years prior due to poor conditions. Anyone play out there lately?
That’s absurd. I play there once or twice a year just to check conditions. I live 3 minutes away and drive by it several times a week. I’m not sure The Divide was ever a must play even in its heyday. Nevertheless, there’s no way it’s achieved that (again) yet. It will take a few seasons of dedicated effort just to make it regularly playable in my opinion. Over the last 2 years whenever I’ve played there the conditions have ranged from goat track to decent at best. While I’ve seen steady improvement the past few times, it’s a slow return to playability not a meteoric rise to must play status. My advice is, play a casual round there when it’s convenient and see how it is, but don’t plan a serious round expecting it to be great.
