Charlotte Country Club is known as a top 20 private club in the United States. The Club was also recognized as a Top-60 Platinum Club of the World by the Club Leaders Forum. Our 18-hole Donald Ross golf course was restored by architect Ron Prichard and was awarded the 2009 Best Remodel of the Year by Golf Digest.

Our historic 68,000 square foot Clubhouse was restored in 2008-2009. The restoration included original moldings and millwork, chandeliers, priceless murals, antique furniture, and much more of our Club’s special treasures. This was truly a historic restoration to bring to life the rich traditions of our Club’s historic past. Our outstanding tennis facilities include 12 clay courts, 4 hard courts, 3 indoor clay courts, and 2 squash courts. The pool complex houses five swimming pools including a competition pool, diving pool, adult pool, children's pool, and wading pool.
