North Carolina is home to numerous outstanding golf courses. Some of the best in the state are the following:.
1. The Cardinal, Greensboro. This semi-private golf venue provides a challenge for players. This par-70 Pete Dye course was redesigned in 2007 to include a notoriously difficult par 3 12th hole. Set amid two lakes, meandering streams, and forest land, the course is surrounded by natural beauty.
2. Lonnie Poole Golf Course, Raleigh. Designed for all levels of players, this venue, on land belonging to North Carolina State University, is the only collegiate course on the planet designed by Arnold Palmer, a legendary figure in the golf world. Top features at this par-71 course include a practice range, clubhouse, and a center for research focused on turfgrass and golf course management.
3. Mill Creek Golf Club, Mebane. This course is set amid the historic remains of a grist mill, along with natural features that include rolling terrain, streams and creeks, and lush trees. Novice and expert golfers alike are comfortable on this course since the five sets of tees permit angle and length adjustments to suit players’ skill levels.
