Birkdale Golf Club, Huntersville, NC

i give this course a B+

pretty good course, some tight tee shots, many difficult approaches, most greens are not very deep and most are well protected with bunkers. i would say that the approaches are some of the toughest that i have played in the area. the greens are quick, i could still see the areation marks so it couldn't have been to long ago, but the greens were still pretty good. comparable to verdict ridge and the tradition

A soggy wait.

Everyone and their mother was out on this nice Saturday. It was windy, and very wet from all the rain we had on Thursday. I guess drainage here is not that great, but I honestly don't know. My biggest problem was with the pace of play. 3 hours for 9 holes is not my idea of fun. And waiting on every shot. We ended up joining a twosome and played as a fivesome. We still waited on every shot for the group in front of us. I just hate turtle golf and being someone else's gallery.
