Saturday Morning

One of the best courses I have played. Paired with a great group. Difficult course with a lot of sand traps but beautiful views.

Getting Ready for Spring!!!

We booked late and saw the note about course conditions. We went ahead and decide to play and they had aerated so we were advised not to use the carts and stay on the cart path. Even with this the pace of play was great. Enjoyed a beautiful day!!

Winter conditions

Can't expect too much this time of year. Tight and wet lies, Greens were average. Bunkers we're maintained. I only play here with a good deal on TeeOff.

Overvalued

I get it. Sign of the times. But $60 when it’s barely above freezing and I had to be delayed 3 hours without warning is crazy town

Greens in bad shape

I was disappointed in the condition of the greens. There were a lot of bare spots, ball marks and sand on most of the greens making it fairly difficult to just speed and your lines having to put through all of them. The course was in good shape and enjoy the layout but with so many courses to choose from in the area when I’m down visiting I’m not sure I’d want to come back and risk it

Amazing Layout - Putting greens need work.

Love the layout and practice facilities. Tee boxes and fairways were 8/10. However, the greens are considerably damaged and need immediate work. Based on the current green conditions, the value is not there.

Green Repair Still Needed

Everyone was great and very candid about course conditions so conditions but still...pretty tough to be at the same price for green conditions even before aeration...also the whole starting front and back extended overall play time by nearly an hour!!! Again staff was amazing

Crap greens

All of the employees from the starter, the Marshall to the bartender were super friendly. The course is really spaced out causing the pace of play to be really slow and the greens were in terrible condition. They need to maintain the greens if they want to charge a premium price.

Nice But….

Great track with bad greens The bent grass greens can’t handle the heat and they get real bad this time of year. Not sure how they fix without going Bermuda but bent grass is ideal in the right climate
Should be good again in the late fall

Poor visit

Course was in rough shape. Grass on greens was gone, tee boxes were terrible. No water on the course (post covid) during these 90 + degree days in SC. Would expect a lot more for spending $70+ dollars today for 18.

Great course

Great course! Great shape and great layout! Only thing is no water on course and only 2 trash cans. The people at the turn grilling hotdogs and hamburgers made us wait 15 minutes because it wasn’t 10 o’clock. So we got backed up a little bit. Just sell the hotdog…they were done.

Arrogant Staff

Layout is nice for the charlotte area and convenient to play from Waxhaw. Unfortunately the staff thinks they run a muni and want singles to share a cart. Once they figure out they are a pretty nice course and staff as such I would go back.

Good greens and layout

Good greens offset by tight lie fairways. Green on 12 is having trouble... will the grass grow? Good layout and range area. Regular rates are high...look for a deal.
