Old Town Country Club ☆ Follow

Old Town Club is an 18-hole golf course featuring 6,661 yards from the longest tees with a par of 71, rated 72.0 with a slope rating of 123. The course was designed by Perry Maxwell and built in the years prior to WWII during the final days of the Golden Age of Architecture. Established in 1938 by Charlie and Mary Reynolds Babcock on the Reynolda estate in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the course was designed by Perry Maxwell on the recommendation of Clifford Roberts, co-founder of Augusta National Golf Club.

The landscape is highlighted by expansive fairways, miles of meandering creeks, heaving uneven terrain, sweeping cross-course vistas punctuated with artistic bunkering and bold green contours, widely known for their trademark "Maxwell rolls." Eight fairways meld together without interruption of rough or vegetation, and six holes converge around a double green at holes 8 and 17. The manner by which Maxwell draped the fairways across the rolling landscape resulted in few level lies.

Old Town has served as the official home course of Wake Forest University golf for many decades since 1956. Old Town hosted the inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Golf Championship in 1954, with the event returning annually through 1958 and again in 1962. Following a 2013 restoration by architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, Old Town catapulted an unprecedented 43 places up the Golfweek rankings to the 29th position in the country in 2014.
