Catawba Country Club

Hole 18 at Catawba Country Club is regarded as one of the best finishing holes in the area, demanding a long tee shot onto an uphill sloping fairway. Hole 5 doglegs sharply left with a fairway bunker and creek in play, and hole 8 is rated the hardest on the course, requiring two well-struck shots to reach a long green. Designed by Donald Ross and opened in 1946, this private 18-hole course in North Carolina, United States plays to par 72 and stretches beyond 7,000 yards from the back tees. Practice facilities include a dedicated driving range, a large putting green, a practice green for short-game work, and an indoor/outdoor fitting and training facility. Ernie's Grill provides casual on-site dining with lunch served daily, covering sandwiches, wraps, soup, a salad bar, and a hot food buffet. The Ross Bar & Grille operates as a members' dining room with a menu that changes with the seasons.
