Charlotte Harbor National Golf Club

I was hesitant to give this course a try because of the reviews on this site. But after playing today I was pleasantly surprised. Comments like “awful” and “cow pasture” are unfair and are definitely those of players who are used to pristine conditions elsewhere. Granted, Charlotte Harbor isn’t in the condition that it once was, but it is a spectacular layout with great tee options, interesting and challenging greens, and loads of water that come into play on almost every hole. That is, if there were water in the lakes. It is the end of particularly long dry season, and the lakes are almost completely dried up. This is clearly why the course is suffering, it needs more irrigation. Hopefully when the summer rains return to fill the lakes, the turf will recover and soften up. I’ll definitely be back.

Fairways and greens are in rough shape. Good value for the afternoon play.

Price was reasonable but course not in the greatest shape

Starting with the "no personality" pro shop attendant, he acted like I was a burden coming in to pay for my tee time. Then I have never seen a course in such horrible condition. From burnt grass pretty much everywhere to bumpy, hole filled greens. I have been playing this course for probably 15 years and will never go back. What a shame. Designer Bob Tway would be appalled at it's condition.

Greens Very Good. Sand traps good Rest of the course TERRIBLE I realize that the grass goes dormant, but much of it looked it hadn’t seen water since November
Really not worth want you have to pay!!!

The course is in really rough shape. Fairways hard as can be, and the greens are really beat up. That said. It’s a good layout, just needs maintenance.

First of all the clubhouse could not find our Golf Now Reservation, and I unfortunately did not bring my confirmation e-mail. But they let us play at the scheduled tee time at the Golf Now rate.
I have played this course before, always liked the challenging layout. However, the pace of play was slow, we finished in over 4 1/2 hours, The fairways were bare of grass in places, and some of the greens were bumpy.
Overall a mediocre round of golf

Golf course was all burnt up, greens are in horrible shape and very inconsistent. Staff lied about course conditions.
Very disappointed 2 years ago it was in mint condition, they redid the greens and lost the entire course, what a joke!!

Greens are fast wish people would fix there divots but oh well

We been trying all the area courses available thru GolfNow.
This was the best we’ve played of the less the $50 category.
We’ll be back.

Employees offered no greeting or directions. Had played the course years ago and knew there was some changes but no one offer any information. No one tole us what side to tee of on or when to start.
Course was in poor shape. Only the greens and tees were green because they were dyed. Greens were bumpy and appeared not to have been cut recently..

A great Course is in terrible shape. Lack of adequate irrigation. Lots of weeds. Can’t tell the rough from the fairways. Had better lies in the rough than the fairways on many occasions. Sad to see this beautiful course going to the dogs.

Have played here many times and disappointed that its going downhill.
The fairways are brown and the greens are neglected. A shame for what was a wonderful course. Layout/practice area is great!
