Overview

With green fees listed at $60 and below, Bryan Park features two 18-hole championship courses: The Champions and the Players. The Players was the first course, designed by George Cobb in 1974 and renovated by Rees Jones in 1988. Jones got his own design with the Champions course, which opened in 1990 and was the runner-up in Golf Digest’s Best New course survey. The championship layout, with 97 menacing bunkers and seven holes along Lake Townsend, hosted the 2010 U.S. Amateur Public Links.

“This former site of the US Public links could use a renovation for improved conditioning. The course has potential but needs to be updated. The holes along the water on the back nine are strong."

“The Rees Jones venue winds throughout Bryan Park, taking full advantage of nature, with several holes boarding Lake Townsend, offering solitude as it traverses the park. Bryan Park Champions is a must play when in the Greensboro, NC area."

“You would not expect this gem at a public park course in Greensboro, NC! The 7 holes (and infinity views) along Lake Townsend were so unexpected and used craftily especially on the back nine for some forced carries and thoughtful tee shots and approaches. Challenging yet fair depending on tee placement and conditioning is good given the level of play."

Review

“A great public course where players take care of the course, and so does the grounds crew. Range next to clubhouse is worthless and range balls are 20 years old. Separate practice facility is good. Course is great and has fantastic views on the back 9."
