Verdict Ridge Golf & Country Club

From the time I pulled my vehicle into the 'bag drop', I knew I was in for something out of the ordinary.A young man immediately picked up my clubs and put them on a cart and instructed me to the ProShop.There I met Jacob who got me checked in and I was smiling with the news that my Monday round of 18 holes and a cart would only be $55 bucks, what a great value!I made my way to the driving range to hit some complimentary balls and also test out the putting/chipping green.My group of 4, was able to tee off right at 1140a with an assist from Mike T, the Starter.I will say, this is a very challenging course. There is a lot of changing elevation throughout and a fair amount of water that comes into play on a majority of holes. There is a creek that criss crosses throughout and some small ponds as well.You'll find the fairways wide open, however you'll be challenged for ball placement as the majority of fairways will funnel to the creek or water.The greens are very fast, they are undulating and generally small for the most part.The views are amazing! It's built in a development with Million dollar homes that line the fairway and circle around the green complexes.There are adequate water stations scattered throughout and there is bathroom at about hole #8 where they have cold face towels in waterthat will refresh you.I didn't try the food but I did check out the menu and it looked like a good mix of hot and cold options.Even on a Monday it was very busy and our round of 18 holes took about 4.5 hours. It was tough with 93 degree temps and 60% humidity.Just a few nits that were not major but a bit disappointing.Even though they had a food/beverage cart parked by the Club House, there was no one to operate it.In several areas, you will be confused on where to go for the next tee box because there is no directional sign.The carts were all gas, not a single electric cart and they struggled getting up the steep hills.The pace of play was longer than expected, not a big deal when the weather is great but when it's 90+ degrees and humid, you will suffer as there is no Ranger to keep things moving.This is a semi-private club and only members are allowed to play Friday to Sunday.Overall it was a five star experience, sadly it's quite a drive from where I live in Fort Mill but I was glad to check this one off my most of the B-Man's top 10 CLT area courses.

Awesome course,challenging all you want in a golf course. Fast greens,you need to be below the hole. The course has great customer service and a friendly staff. Happy Golfer9 Iron

Very classy and impeccably good food. Their cheesesteak is made from diced prime rib! Everything on the menu is great and they will customize your order if possible. Excellent in every way.

What a fun challenging course and the staff was welcoming and worked to ensure my round was enjoyable.

I'm not sure how to review this course because I have mixed emotions. I loved everything except the layout. I'm not a fan of silly golf and this course is full of it. With that being said, it is a fun course but there are too many over the top challenges. On the bright side, I was paired up with 3 great guys and the drinks were cold so there's that.

Oh how i wish i lived closer to this amazing layout and service. Amazingly beautiful and only 30 min from Charlotte? The course has it all, great golf, great staff, great food, and we want MORE of the same!!!From the warm greeting we received dropping off our bags, to the friendly wait staff and on-course drink area, there aren't enough good things to say about this place... and then there's the golf... oh the golf course.... you know that course where you remember every hole... the one where 2 weeks later you are looking at flights to CLT to see if you can find a deal.... the course you want as your warm up to Myrtle Beach, just a few hours away and worth the trip... yes folks, this is THAT course!The conditions are impeccable, from the greens to the tee boxes and every nook and cranny has been attended to; great job ground staff. We'll be back.... soon!

What an awesome course! The course condition is probably tops in the area. The fairways are in great condition even during this dormant time of the year. The greens are challenging but still fun to putt on. The service is probably the best I've experienced in any courses in the Mecklenburg County area.As soon as you drive up someone is there to pull your clubs from your vehicle and load them onto a cart. Then they drive the cart to your car. The guys in the clubhouse are nice and friendly as well. They have a cart girl out on the course even during the winter months! And her cart is well stocked! In my opinion, this is one the best courses in the area.

Awesome experience at Verdict Ridge Golf Course! You are rated #1 for a reason.Bravo Zulu (BZ) to Jake and Larry at the Pro shop and Janet, Ivy, Adrianna and Becky at the RestaurantThis is a true story how my day went from Positive to Negative to Double Positive.I had a pretty decent round (82) in just under 4.5 hours and was preparing to head out to Mooresville for my 2nd round of the day as I was visiting the Charlotte area for a family reunion and planned on playing the top six GC in the area.While in the parking lot, the worse imagined moment turned my way.I closed/locked the rental car trunk with everything in it: Car keys, Wallet, Golf clubs, and Cell phone. I had no identification and no way to contact anyone. Terrible Break.I decided to take chance and ask the gentleman at the Pro shop counter if he could let me use the phone to call the rental car company and take care of my car issue.Jake was very courteous and polite as it took several calls and waiting on hold including numerous transfers for the right person to assist me.Larry offered me a complimentary lunch and told me I could feel at ease and stay cool while I waited on the tow service. Both of you are truly outstanding gentlemen.Jake even transferred a call from the tow service representative updating me on the status of the driver while I was in the restaurant enjoying my complimentary lunch. By the way the "Candied Walnut & Apple Salad" was healthy and delicious ladies.Janet, Ivy, Adrianna and Becky not in any particular order were extremely polite and welcoming to a complete stranger. I remember one of you said to me, "relax and feel at home, we love working here."That was very comforting. I wholeheartedly appreciate your service and authenticity.About little over an hour or so, the service rep arrived and was able to get the car trunk unlocked and I was on my way. I missed my 2nd round of the day but more importantly, I was around some outstanding people from the Verdict Ridge Golf Couse & Guilties Bistro that made an unfamiliar and uncomfortable moment rest-assuring and extremely positive.I played four of the top six courses in the area around the 4th of July timeframe and Verdict Ridge Golf Couse is by far the BEST!I appreciate what you did for me and have no doubt you'll do it for any of your guest. Continue the excellent work. Hopefully I get to play and eat at your facility on future visits to the East Coast.ThanksCarlosSan Diego California

Excellent course. Reasonable price well-maintained. fairways. Staffs are outstanding. Highly recommended. The layout of the fairways are challenging but Exciting.

One of the nicest courses I've ever played. It may not be as scenic as Torrey Pines (South Course) or Bulls Bay, but tee to green the course condition is great.
