Tee Off in Greensboro, Year-Round
Play where the pros do in North Carolina’s lush Piedmont. Home to world-class golf and the PGA Tour for more than 62 years, Greensboro is a serious golf destination. The area claims 16 public courses, including these highlights:
Bryan Park, listed in Golf Digest’s May 1999 “Best in State” rankings, offers two courses. Ranked nationally each year since its opening, Bryan Park features challenging holes for golfers of all skill levels.
The AAA Four-Diamond Grandover Resort and Conference Center gives visitors a chance to play a round of golf, indulge their sense of luxury at the spa or savor a meal at the elegant DiValletta restaurant. This European-style resort offers 247 beautifully appointed guest rooms.
The Grandover’s two world-class courses were designed by David Graham and Gary Panks and were built amidst 1,500 acres of hills covered with oak, pine and dogwood trees. All 36 holes have been ranked 4 1/2 stars in Golf Digest. The East Course was named one of the finest public-access courses in the nation – and one of only 11 courses in North Carolina – in Golf Digest’s “The Best of Places to Play.”
For those who enjoy watching the game as much as playing it, Greensboro will not disappoint. The Chrysler Classic of Greensboro (formerly the Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic) boasts one of the PGA Tour’s richest purses and also is the third oldest tournament on the tour.
