Hope Valley Country Club

Hope Valley Country Club hosted the 1945 Durham Open on a Donald Ross layout that opened in 1926 and remains private today. The 18-hole course in Durham, North Carolina plays to a par 70 across 6,019–6,720 yards, with returning nines, elevated greens, sweeping vistas, and a creek woven through the property. Hole 2 demands a long iron or utility wood to a small, well-protected green. Hole 4, the longest par four on the front nine, presents a dramatic uphill approach. Practice options include a renovated double-sided driving range with state-of-the-art technology, a short game area, chipping area, practice bunker, and comprehensive teaching programs and clinics. The golf shop is on site. The clubhouse spans 52,000 square feet and holds five distinct dining venues covering family, formal, and casual dining.
