Cons:
- the last several times I have played, there have been homeless people in the woods asking for money
- easy to lose discs near holes 2-5 even if your shot isn't terrible. The vines and underbrush were almost always more trouble than the water.
- very confusing layout if you've never played... a map is helpful, but you can still get turned around.
Other Thoughts:
This was never a course that I would set out to play, but it was always nice to tack on to the end of a day of playing other courses or after a tennis match. Also fun to do after having a few pitchers at The Penguin or Thomas St.
I can't say that it's unexpected to see this go away, but it's still saddening. This was one of the more unsafe courses in Charlotte (I would not take my girlfriend or children, if I had any, to this course), but there's nothing else in town that really will fill the hole that will be left when this course is gone.
I'm glad I've been able to play it in the past. Happy Trails, Veteran's!
