As @tres_carlos said, mimosa would fit the bill perfectly. However Iām not going to make it up there this weekend. I think its going to be rainy all day today, and the greens are on the tail end of recovering from aeration. Happy to host anytime else though!

Yes i NEED to get back up there next weekend, its been over a month since iāve gotten up there, which is about 4 weeks too long for my tastes. Between the 6 refugees that are members, weāll get you out there.
mentioned this in the pinehurst thread-- played southern pines for the first time yesterday. It was beautiful, saw Franz himself walk into the clubhouse and grab a cart, then saw the paint markers for the redesign/ restoration. the routing may be one of my favorites Iāve ever played (admittedly, from charlotte, have never played in the pinehurst area before). This course will be amazing once that money gets put into it. Some of the favorite views Iāve seen. Excited for what will happen there. I definitely concerned my wife with how ecstatic I was about the area (mentioned moving within about 5 minutes of stepping on the first tee). Overall, it was amazing and seeing it as a day trip really opens up the possibilites for fun weekends moving forward.
further, and a couple questions for the gallery, what are the favorite courses in the charlotte area for yāall? and what about next time I head to pinehurst, value matters, Iām a teacher and my wife is a nurse, money is always on the mind haha.

If you like SP, try Mooresville and Monroe (sometimes you can walk this for like $21) for sure. The front 9 at Fort Mill is great, and Rocky River for something a bit more modern but on the costlier side.
Also, if youāve never played Charles Sifford, itās an absolute must.

I play monroe probably once a month. love that track.love sifford, love fort mill. rocky river Iāve played recently, itās fine, just pricey for what I feel is a worse course than monroe. I definitely need to get up to mooresville.

Front 9? I he only played there a handful of times but the front is bland to me. Straight holes not much character except hole 2 that I recall hitting approach over pond. The back 9 is when it gets fun to me. Nice little down hill par 3 with trap in front, couple doglegs. The course as a whole is great but I enjoy the character of the back better.
anyone here a member/know a member of Wildcat Cliffs Country Club in Highlands, NC? I have a buddy that bought a house there and needs 1 more sponsorā¦
Just joining in from High Point. Play most my golf at Colonial CC but try to get around and play pretty much any place that has a first tee and a 19th hole.
