OLD CHATHAM GOLF CLUB

The rolling terrain of North Carolina's Piedmont creates natural amphitheaters for drama here, where elevated tees launch drives across hardwood-lined valleys and doglegs demand precise positioning over local stone. Tom Fazio's routing maximizes the property's 200 feet of elevation change, particularly on the back nine where approach shots play significantly uphill or downhill to greens that cascade with the contours. This is target golf that rewards course management over raw power, with enough strategic options to keep single-digit handicappers plotting their next round before reaching the parking lot.
