Charlotte National has no houses built along the sides of the fairways, it has no double level or steeply sloped greens, (the putts actually go where you think they should) and it has some generous fairways. If you play good golf you should score well here. The 17th hole above provides a wide enough fairway to avoid the lake that borders it but you still must come back close to water to get to the small green. The stone bulkhead below guards the par five 13th green. Both golf holes are typical of Charlotte National.

This course is of a traditional design with large greens and fairways. The greens are mildly undulating, with slightly rolling terrain that runs in and out of trees in some areas. The course is surrounded by farmland in some areas and forests in others. Water comes into play on fifteen holes, and the course is very well bunkered. Hole #18, a 469-yard, par 4, presents a challenging finish as the fairway doglegs sharply to the left.
