This 18-hole public golf course is located on the former Harrisburg Road landfill and named for the former County Commissioner (1969-1970) who, during his tenure, led the initiative to make the final use of the land a public golf course. The course was designed by Bill Love, and the front 9 opened in 1988 followed by the addition of the back 9 in 1997. The newly renovated Mini Verde Bermuda greens, a driving range, pro shop, snack bar and 3-hole learning course with stunning views and abundant wildlife makes Charles T. Myers a favorite of golfers all over the Charlotte region.

Dr. Charles Sifford (formerly Revolution Park Golf Course) is a 9-hole gem with plenty of history that's located just 5 minutes from uptown Charlotte off I-77. It's the perfect course to play a round at either before or after work. The course opened in the 1930s and received a major makeover under the guidance of Clyde Johnson in 2010. In 2011 the course was renamed to honor Dr. Sifford, the pioneer and PGA legend who, as a child, fished golf balls out of Irwin Creek on the course, but could not play the course due to segregation. Amenities include Mini Verde Bermuda greens, a first-class driving range, practice chipping & putting areas and a pro shop and snack bar housed in the Revolution Park Sports Academy. Dr. Charles L. Sifford is also home to The First Tee of Greater Charlotte that reinforces nine core values to introduce golf to youth from all walks of life ages 18 and under.
