If you love golf or just enjoy a great day out, Quail Hollow in Charlotte is worth a look. This course has hosted big names, big tournaments, and offers a layout that feels both challenging and fair. Below you’ll find the story behind the club, why pros love it, and the best ways to enjoy a visit.
Opened in 1996, Quail Hollow quickly became a favorite on the PGA Tour. It’s the home of the PGA Tour’s North Carolina Open and, most famously, the PGA Championship in 2017. The design blends traditional shot‑making with modern hazards—think deep bunkers, water that guards the greens, and rolling fairways that test distance control.
What really sets the course apart is its flexible layout. The back nine can feel like a mountain‑climb for a beginner, while pros can carve out low‑par rounds by using the right clubs on the wide‑open stretches. Even the clubhouse has a relaxed vibe; you can grab a bite, watch the tournament on big screens, or just soak up the clubhouse’s history walls.
Planning to swing a club or catch a tournament? Here are some practical pointers:
Parking is plentiful, and the club offers a shuttle from the main lot to the tee boxes on busy days. If you’re new to the area, the club’s concierge can suggest nearby dining and hotel options—many are just a short drive away.
Whether you’re watching a world‑class event or playing a round with friends, Quail Hollow delivers a mix of challenge, beauty, and southern hospitality. Grab your clubs, check the calendar, and experience why this course stays on the PGA Tour’s radar year after year.
