Really enjoyed my round out here at Trump Charlotte. The tee boxes were burnt out as it is the time of season where they do maintenance. A little steep on the rate for a visitor.

The greens need a little bit more love… lots of patchy/bumpy areas. Fairways are in great condition. Everything else is just average. For what they want you to play here, I personally don’t think it’s worth it.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Mooresville, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
