Harry L. Jones Sr. Golf Course

Charlotte, NC · 2.7 mi away

The Harry L. Jones Sr. Golf Course in Charlotte, North Carolina, stands as a testament to thoughtful reclamation, transforming a former landfill into a playable and engaging public golf experience. Designed by the acclaimed Michael Hurdzan and opened in 1987, the course offers a parkland-style layout that cleverly utilizes the natural contours of its unique foundation. Golfers will encounter a forgiving yet strategic routing, characterized by Bermuda greens and a few intriguing blind shots that add an element of surprise and challenge to the round. While not boasting country club opulence, the course delivers a solid, enjoyable outing with a distinct "muni energy" that fosters a relaxed atmosphere. Its history is particularly notable, having been renamed in 2017 to honor Harry L. Jones Sr., Mecklenburg County’s first African American county commissioner, adding a layer of community significance. This course is ideally suited for local golfers seeking a fun, budget-friendly round with friends, offering a laid-back environment where the focus is squarely on the joy of the game rather than pristine conditions.
