CHERRYVILLE GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling foothills terrain west of Charlotte provides natural drama that designer Ellis Maples exploited brilliantly in this 1960s gem, where elevated tees and multi-tiered greens demand precise club selection through the mountain laurel and hardwood corridors. The par-4 13th epitomizes the layout's character—a downhill dogleg that tempts aggressive lines over a creek before climbing to a severely sloped green that punishes anything but a perfect approach. At under $50 for weekend play, this represents exceptional value for Carolina golf that rewards course management over raw distance.
