Quail Hollow, NC
Quail Hollow Club, home to a top-rated championship golf course, is located 9 miles south of downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. The excellent tree-lined parkland layout contains a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and testing golf holes ... and is home to the notorious "Green Mile".
Throughout, this excellently manicured course follows the folding contours of the terrain to present a challenge at every hole. The front-nine is predominantly played through graceful tree-lined fairways. The signature hole on this outward nine-hole loop is the testing par-5 7th, which is flanked on its right side by a snaking pond and accompanying rock walls and gently cascading waterfalls.
On the demanding back-nine the fun starts with a short driveable par-4 at 14. The closing trio of holes, infamously known as the "Green Mile", comprises the par-4 16th and par-3 17th, both flanked by the same small lake, and the long par-4 18th. Your drive at the final hole needs to find a tightish fairway; the hole is defined by a creek running up its entire leftside from the tee-boxes to the green.
Quail Hollow is definitely a course that will delight the golfing senses while challenging your all-round game. However, this is a private course generally playable only by its members and their guests.
Quail Hollow is a private club. Guests may only play if hosted by a member.

Tournament of Champions: the PGA Tour’s calendar-year starts, as it has done since 1999, with this iconic event in Hawaii. The field is drawn from players who won a PGA Tour event in 2022, or were amongst the top 30 in last year’s FedEx Cup final standings (Jan 6-9).
Desert Swing: the European (DP World) Tour launches into 2023 with three events in its UAE “Desert Swing”. Up first is the Abu Dhabi Championship (Jan 19-22), followed by the Dubai Desert Classic (Jan 26-29) and the Ras Al Kaimah Championship (Feb 2-5).
Kathy Whitworth: the end of 2022 saw the passing of LPGA Tour legend Kathy Whitworth. Her 88 LPGA Tour victories is more than achieved by any other golfer on either the LPGA or PGA Tours. Amongst her victories were six major championship titles.
Barry Lane: the golfing world was also saddened by the passing of Barry Lane, one of the European Tour and European Senior Tours most popular players. Enjoying success on both Tours, Lane was know for his excellent ball-striking and amiable personality.
