This is the order of courses I would recommend for a >945 rated player.
1. Nevin
2. Renny Gold
3. Hornet's Nest if you want a break or Web for a real challenge.
4. R.L. Smith: This is going to be the most fun course in Charlotte once it gets worn in imo. The ssa will probably end up in the 48-52 range but the elevation makes it a very, very cool course. I think it will probably be my favorite course in Charlotte in another year or two.
5. Eastway: This spot is a tossup between Eastway and the Angry Beaver.
This is the order of courses I would recommend for a <946 rated player.
1. Hornet's Nest. It is challenging but not punishingly so. The favorite course in Charlotte of many intermediate level players.
2. Elon short course/Angry Beaver: Here you have the option of two courses with an ssa difference of around 20. Options
3. Eastway: A very fun course with a short and long set of pins/tees. Mostly in the open, this course is a nice opportunity to throw some longer drives or rollers.
4. Renny Black: With an SSA of around 60 I don't recommend this one highly because you have to walk almost the whole Renny Gold layout but you don't get to play the coolest/hardest holes.
5. Nevin: Tough, especially so if you cannot throw accurate shots that finish straight. If your max distance is under 300' skip Nevin unless you don't mind shooting way, way over par. SSA around 65 or so.
