Golf touches nearly every county in North Carolina and contributes billions to the state's economy. Country clubs in cities such as Raleigh, Wilmington, and Durham grew rapidly after World War II.

CCNC's Dogwood course quickly became regarded as one of the finest in the Sandhills region after opening in 1963. The club has hosted several USGA championships, including the 1980 U.S. Amateur won by Hal Sutton. Here we will give you the history and features of country club of North Carolina.

Golf

Country Club of North Carolina is home to two exceptional golf courses in the Dogwood and Cardinal. Though CCNC often flies under the radar of those familiar with Pinehurst Resort, its layouts' quality has never been questioned.
