Established by founding members in 1910, the original course at Charlotte Country Club was redesigned by Donald Ross in 1926 and subsequently reworked by Robert Trent Jones Snr in the 1960s. In more recent times, Ron Pritchard, an architect with an excellent track record of sympathetically restoring old Ross designs, remodelled the layout.
Today, the course measures more than 7,300 yards, with tree-lined fairways routed across pleasantly undulating terrain. Notable holes include the 430-yard 4th, which plays to a slender kidney-shaped green and the 475-yard 8th, a long par four that crosses the Briar Creek on its way to the green. On the back nine, the 420-yard 16th and 445-yard 18th are both strong par fours played at the end of the round.
The course has hosted three USGA tournaments in its recent history: the US Amateur in 1972 (won by Vinny Giles), the US Senior Men’s Amateur in 2000 (when Bill Shean Jnr was the victor) and the US Women’s Amateur in 2010 (won by Danielle Kang for the second successive year).
