Dr Charles L Sifford Golf Course

Pretty fun 9 hole track, and at a reasonable price with the golf cart. There are a lot of elevation changes, up hill and down hill, and most holes are doglegged. Staff wasn't the most welcoming, but that was fine. Greens were in average condition, bunkers were in pretty poor condition, but given the price, that was expected. We did like how the ladies tees got quite a few yards on the men's.

The last time I played this course was 22 years ago in a Father & Son Tournament.It's changed quite a lot since then and fortunately for the better.The greens, tee boxes and fairways are all in great condition.I got paired up with Bob & Haydon who had played before so I got some good guidance on the blind shots.Overall this is an exceptional Municipal Golf Course that has easy access off I-77. On a sunny October Friday, we were able to go 9 holes in right at 2 hours. Just a perfect day for golf.I believe hole #7 must be their 'Signature Hole'. It's a 173 yard Par 3 from an elevated tee down hill with a nice large green & forest back drop.I especially like hole #8 which is a dog leg right that plays about 300 yards. I was able to get on in two and had an eagle putt.The fairways are open and there is very little water and most holes are straight forward with just a couple of holes that are blind shots.I will definitely be playing this course again, at $23 bucks riding @ Sr rate on Friday, it's hard to beat this close into CLT.The carts are in fair shape and I understand the clubhouse was been newly rebuilt. There is a nice driving range, practice putt area and chipping area as well.You will find there are golfers of ALL levels. Many are learning and have yet to understand golf etiquette & playing 'ready golf' so patience will be key.This is the home of the First Tee in the Charlotte area.

What can I say about Sifford? It is decidedly average. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing here because it's cheap and close to my home, but the price reflects the condition of the course and the clientele it attracts.The layout is plenty fun and although short, does provide a good amount of challenging shots with long irons that you won't see every day playing a course at more normal length. The staff are as friendly as can be, and have been very accommodating when trying to get in 18 on the 9-hole course. Overall, it is what it is at 3 stars. You shouldn't expect the world and you'll probably run into some slow play, but at the price you pay, it's usually easy to overlook that and just enjoy a casual 9 in the middle of Charlotte.

Great little 9 hole, no frills golf course. It's especially convenient for me as I live near Uptown and there aren't many other municipal options close by. I used to drive to Leatherman down S. Tryon for the range, but this one is closer to me and it's the same price. You always get to hit from the grass, which I'm a fan of because I feel like hitting from mats screws up my swing (making me think I'm hitting the ball better than I really am!).It's a really short course, but I still pull out the driver on 4-5 holes. I believe they did some renovations recently, but I wouldn't be able to tell because I just started going there. That's just what I've heard. All in all, $15 to walk 9 holes during the week is what keeps me coming back. A cart is only like 4 bucks more, but I'd rather walk a short course for the exercise.

Fore (har har) only $20 and some change, Revolution is a good buy. Many munis are a joke, with poorly maintained greens, faster then Usain Bolt. Revolution though, recently remodeled with a modern clubhouse great fairways is always a good time.While the course is only 9 holes, it's well worth the price. It might not be Quail Hollow, but its rarely crowded, well maintained and has more than enough character. A gem if I do say so myself.

I played 9 holes today at Sifford/Revolution Park golf course today and really enjoyed it. If you have an opportunity and especially if you are new to golf I highly recommend this course. First the rate for me was $14 for walking 9 holes (I am 55 yrs old) vs. regular rate of $18. That is a great price. Second the staff were friendly and helpful. New clubhouse. Not crowded on a weekday. I walked 9 holes in 70 minutes. Third the course was short but fair and in very good shape. The fairways were great, greens were slow but consistent and tee boxes in very good shape. Just one or two hazards were truly in play so this course won't be confused with TPC. I was able to drive one of the par 4's (286yds) so that gives you some sense of the length. Fun course and also very close to home. Give it a try.

I hadn't busted out my golf bag in months. After seeing that that the weather was going to be upper 50's this past Saturday, I told myself that the least I could do was hit the driving range. Prior to coming to revolution, the only other driving range I had been too here in Charlotte was down on S Tryon and Tyvola - It isn't far, but this place is MUCHHHHH closer to my apartment. The good:3 mins from my apt$9 for a large bucket (very reasonable)You hit on grass vs. turf matsPlenty of parkingThe not so good:Fairly small driving range area: It was packed on Saturday (12-15 spots?). I had to wait about 20 mins for a spot to open up. Its not the end of the world, but I just hate waiting. My buddy Dan mentioned that this is a good place to play a quick 9 for a "quick and dirty fix" haha. I will prob hit the range a once more and then come out and play the actual coarse. Thanks for the heads up Dan!! -updated review to follow once I play the course

Nice golf course. They really keep the course in good shape for the most part. The greens roll very well. The fairways are nice with right amount of grass. Bunker locations are reasonable and protects greens in the right places. The course is short but challenging enough to help improve your game, especially iron play. The layout also makes the course a favorite for those that like to walk and play. The only negative is that they could do a little better job of preventing golfers from jumping holes. Besides this being totally against golf etiquette it can hold up the course. Otherwise this is a great course with a good staff.

Great experience!Is this a world-class golf course? No, but if you want an enjoyable round on a well-maintained, reasonably priced golf course, consider this course. Only nine holes, but an interesting layout. Play before or after work or school, or just about any time of day and get a round in less than 2 hours. I'm a senior, 9-handicap player who no longer wants or needs to slug it out for 6 hours on a weekend. Fairways, greens, and even sandtraps are in great shape. Feels like a Donald Ross course. Easy to walk and carry your clubs, but if you like to ride, Sifford has quiet, clean electric carts. Perfect for junior golfers.Practice greens include sand traps. Driving range has brand new balls.

Everything was great except the cart Marshall. People at the front desk were great, the main problem was the cart Marshall. Completely unfriendly, made our group of 4 skip 2 out of 9 holes (this course only has 9 holes, not 18) because we were taking our time mid-afternoon on a weekday in the wintertime. Completely uncalled for, would not recommend coming here if you want a relaxed time with your pals.
