Eagle Chase Golf Club (11/3) - 4.5 stars - “Played Eagle Chase for the first time yesterday. I had heard about the elevation changes, but I wasn’t expecting as much as I saw. The layout is spectacular. Can be difficult but fair. The greens were a little slow for me, but they were smooth and true. The undulations in the greens were problematic for me, but it will take quite a few rounds to figure them out. The staff was very friendly and professional. Looking forward to coming back soon!”
Sapona Country Club (10/30) - 4 stars - “Played in TheGrint Tour’s season opening event yesterday at Sapona and the greens were immaculate! These Zoysia greens are the toughest, fastest I’ve played all year. They were legit 13+ on the stimpmeter. And with the slopes and undulations, several pins were 10/10 difficulty. They roll true, but if you struggle with putting, I wouldn’t recommend playing Sapona. The course is very challenging with tree-lined, hilly terrain throughout. Sapona is a semi-private course. So it’s open for public play at very reasonable rates. Only about 45-60 minutes up I-85 from Charlotte, too. It’s worth the drive and money if you are up for a challenge!”
Rocky River Golf Club (10/5) - 4.5 stars - “Course was in great shape, greens were fast and smooth, fairways were lush and the bunkers were in great shape as well. I love the layout, no houses in sight, at times on certain holes you feel like you’re out in the country. We will definitely be back, one of if not the best course in the Charlotte area.”
Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation (9/16) - 2.5 stars - “Tee boxes – above average. Fairways – excellent. Greens – below average. Played the course more times than I can count in the last 5 years. The greens were the best the crew can make them, but more than half of them have dead spots. Tough for bent grass greens to survive the summers down here. I hope they change to hybrid Bermuda like much of the area has I’ve the years.“
