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...

  The Carolinas Golf Association posted this article last month that has a good description of the problem affecting some of our local Charlotte golf courses:

  I sympathize with the plight of the local courses suffering from this and I will return to play them once the issues are corrected. Let’s do our best to support them.

  Thanks for the info B. It seems like most of the courses in N Charlotte and above were affected badly. Rocky River and Verdict Ridge’s fairways were hurt, but are turning around.

  Definitely the courses up north were the most hard hit.
  Irish Creek is an absolute mess. Warrior is even worse.
  Meanwhile, a little further south… Stonebridge, Tega Cay and Carolina Lakes seem just fine (with a few spotty areas here and there).
