United States
Overview
The Tom Fazio-designed Old North State Club is located just over an hour outside of Charlotte, where dense forested hills meet pristine lakeside shores. The tumbling fairways and steep lakeside terrain offer panoramic views of the Uwharrie Point natural area while also creating dramatic approaches and intimidating tee shots. Putting surfaces are known to be firm and tricky, as greens are defended by a series of undulated collection areas and deep bunkers. The highlight of the round at Old North State Club is the challenging and breathtaking three-hole closing stretch built alongside the lake, with an approach to an island green on the par-4 16th, a tee shot over water on the par-3 17th and a forced carry into the fairway over Badin Lake on the par-5 18th.

“Recently renovated with new greens. Great vistas and views from a number of holes of Badin Lake. Elevation changes with a number of options with shots up to elevated greens or downhill to others by the lake. 17th and 18th holes are fun holes with carry over water. With the wind blowing off the lake, these are challenging holes to finish with."
