Cloud 9 Smokeshop & Disc Golf Pro Shop

Cloud 9 Smokeshop & Disc Golf Pro Shop is one of those spots that surprises you the first time through the door. It looks like a little hole in the wall, but step inside and you'll find a smoke shop and a serious disc golf pro shop rolled together under one roof. People around Mint Hill and greater Charlotte have been coming here since 2012, and the word is that it has grown and expanded right along with the disc golf scene it helped build. On the smoke shop side, they keep the shelves stocked with vaporizers, glass pipes and water pipes, grinders, and rolling papers, plus a wall of e-liquid and vape juice that regulars compare to walking through a supermarket.

If you're hunting for a specific flavor, chances are good they carry it, and folks say there's usually a nice run of fruit vape juices marked down. They also stock CBD and hemp products, including pet treats, along with kratom from Zen Kratom, Kr8tom, and Modern Day Miracles. Locals will tell you the prices are mostly fair, with the occasional item running a little high. The disc golf selection is what really turns heads.

Ask any avid player in Charlotte and they'll point you here first: bags, baskets, and discs from just about every manufacturer you can name, plus a loyalty program where buying ten gets you one free. The staff genuinely play the sport, and that shows. One shopper singled out Sergio as knowledgeable and easy to work with, and the blonde guy at the register gets a lot of love for helping people track down exactly what they came for, whether it's a new disc or a specific rolling tray. The overall reputation here is strong, and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere is a big part of why.

One thing worth knowing before you make a long drive: it's smart to confirm hours ahead, since a few folks have shown up expecting them open and found the doors locked. Call first and you'll be set.
