Originally sculpted from a naturally rolling terrain with an abundance of trees by famed architect Alexander McKay, the magnificent 18-hole course at Statesville Country Club was renovated to perfection in 1998 by renowned golf course architect, Tom Jackson. The par 72 course offers challenges for golfers of all skill levels. The course stretches over 6,700 yards with multiple tees, manicured bermuda greens, plush fairways, challenging bunkers and lakes that provide spectacular views at every turn. Four practice greens, and a one acre short game area, bunkers and an extraordinary driving range, all enjoy close proximity to the clubhouse.
