I love Tega Cay! The back nine is particularly fun. Just be aware that weekends can get busy, so book in advance.

Don’t forget about the Tradition Golf Club! It’s a hidden gem. The pricing is very fair, and I’ve never had an issue getting a tee time.

I’ve played there too! It really is a great spot, especially if you’re looking for something less crowded.

I had a fantastic experience at Ballantyne Resort Golf Club. The course is challenging but fair, and it’s kept in pristine condition. Just be prepared for higher fees.

Totally agree! It’s a bit pricier, but the facilities and overall experience make it worth it.

Has anyone played at River Hills Country Club lately? I’m curious about their tee time availability and course conditions.

I played at River Hills last month. The course was excellent, but it gets busy, especially on weekends. Definitely call ahead for tee times!

I had a hilarious round at the Golf Club at Ballantyne where my buddy lost his ball in a tree! Be careful of those tricky holes.

That’s too good! Nothing beats a day of golf with some laughs. Definitely part of the experience.

What about the course at Catawba Country Club? I’ve heard mixed reviews. Is it worth a visit?

15

I’ve played Catawba and thought it was decent. Not the best, but for a quick round, it’s fine. Just don’t expect too much in terms of wow factor.

16

That sounds about right. I’d say it’s good for beginner players, but I wouldn’t rush there if you have other options.

17

I’m planning a trip to Charlotte soon! Driving sounds like a great idea since there are some amazing courses along the way. Has anyone checked out the Pinehurst to Charlotte route?

18

Definitely! The drive is scenic, and you can easily stop at some courses along the route. It’s about two hours if you don’t hit traffic. There are some nice places to grab a bite too!

What about public transport? Is there a way to get from Pinehurst to Charlotte without driving? I’d love to hear about options.

I’ve looked into it, and there are some buses that run between those locations, but they can be slow. If you’re traveling with a group, carpooling might be more fun and quicker! Anyone interested?
