Poor Greens

Always have loved playing Belk Park but the greens are in very poor condition.
Golfers should repair their marks for one, but there were also a few greens that are losing their grass.

Did not live up to our expectations

Sure, it was cheap on Golf Now but a 5 hr round does not cut it. Gentleman in club house was way too busy answering phone to even acknowledge we were there. Got to first tee about 10 minutes early to loosen up and take a few practice swings but we were told we were up because they were running early. Several fairways had horrible conditions with bad grass and rough terrain. All in all not a good experience. Will go elsewhere in the future

Great value

For early May, course was in good shape. Greens still greening up. No wet areas despite some rainy days recently. Finished in 3.5 hours.
