Carolina Golf Club ☆ Follow

Carolina Golf Club is a private golf club featuring a beautifully restored 1929 Donald Ross-designed golf course. The 18-hole course features 6,201 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 70. The course rating is 70.6 and it has a slope rating of 126 on Bermuda grass. The club hired architect Kris Spence, noted for his successful Donald Ross restorations throughout North Carolina, to lead the project, and Bradley Klein, noted author and Ross historian, to evaluate Spence's plan for Ross authenticity.

The club is conveniently located near Charlotte's central business district and offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for members and their guests. In 2008, Carolina Golf Club closed for eleven months while the fourth and final phase of Spence's master plan was implemented. More than 1,000 trees were removed to make way for rebuilt greens, tees, and bunkers. New fairway grasses were planted, and a modern irrigation system and pump station were installed—transforming Carolina Golf Club from its original 6,228-yard, par-70 layout into the formidable test of golf its members enjoy today.

Since reopening, the course has hosted five PGA Tour qualifying tournaments for the Wells Fargo Championship, several City Amateur Championships, the 2011 Carolina's Golf Association Mid-Amateur Championship, and the 2014 North Carolina Amateur Championship. In 2018, Carolina Golf Club was honored to be the stroke play co-host for the 38th U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship with Charlotte Country Club.
