Fun pitch and putt/beginner course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 4, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is located in a small, quiet park located right on Lake Norman. The park has a small pavilion, bathrooms and drinking water fountains, an outdoor fire pit (cool!) and a neat water fountain play area for kids.

Fun, short midrange to putter distance holes with a nice variety.

The course circles around the parking lot and pavilion area and has a variety of narrow straight wooded shots, open shots, and a bit tougher shots through the woods requiring accuracy and shot placement.

The park and course was quiet, and clean, leading to a nice quick walk through the woods. Would be great for a lunch break 9 holes, or a beginner friendly instructional course.

Cons:

The tee's are natural, marked only with white PCV pipes in the ground, with numbers marked on them. Some of the tees have roots, or sand and could be a potential hazard.

No tee signs, and no directional signage. Although with some common sense, I was able to navigate the course successfully, I can see some people having a hard time.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, for a beginner friendly (but still challenging) short course, this is a great little course.

It is by no means a highly polished tournament caliber course, but the simplicity of the setup, and short distances make it great for teaching the basics to a new player, or working on your putter/midrange control.

Worth a look if you're in the area and need an excuse to get out of the house, or a fun way to work on your mid to short range game, but don't come expecting to use a driver.

3 disc rating for this course, based on it's target audience, not comparing to other great charlotte area courses

Cliff notes:
Fun, short, semi challenging course that would be great for beginners, or midrange practice.
No tee signs and natural tee pads make for a simplistic course.

Great Little Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 10, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I enjoyed this course. It has been over a year since I played, it but if I lived locally I'd play it often. A course is a course and it's partly open and partly wooded.

Cons:

Weren't many things that stood out about it, but nothing that was negative about it either.

Other Thoughts:

The holes aren't all easy-as-pie and the bit of difficulty factor is enough to make the course a very enjoyable place.

tight 9 hole course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 25, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

a short 9 hole course that has tight fairways on at least 6 of the 9 holes.good course to work on control shots and midrange. set in a really nice park along lake norman. bathrooms and a nice playground for the kid.( i took my 2 year old daughter). nice variety of shots considering the amount of land used.

Cons:

it was a little muddy,and windy the day i played. could use some clean up inthe form of cut and dead branches laying on the ground.

Other Thoughts:

this course was designed by MJ (micheal johansen) a charlotte club pro. it shows... very tight lines are required to navigate the fairways. the raised basket on hole#5 was probably my favorite hole. you dont really need to bring a driver out except for maybe two holes. overall a enjoyable course to play
