About this course
Cleveland Country Club in Shelby, North Carolina, was established in 1927 as the only private club in Cleveland County, positioned between Charlotte and Asheville. Sources differ on the original designer, with some crediting an early Donald Ross routing and the club's own materials attributing the current par-72 layout to architect John LaFoy. The course has undergone renovation of its bunkers and drainage in recent years. It plays over rolling Piedmont terrain and has served as a gathering place for area families for nearly a century.
