Golf Courses in North Carolina
North Carolina contains 165 named golf courses and country clubs distributed across 156 cities and 62 counties. This compilation is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer of named places, which ensures that every entry represents a real, officially named facility organized by its geographic location.
Because the Geographic Names Information System catalogs named geographic features rather than active business operations, the directory represents a partial and dated snapshot of the state's golf landscape. A newly established course or one that has undergone a recent name change may not yet appear in the system, and the federal record does not include details such as public-or-private designation, green fees, or course layout. Users should leverage this directory to identify and locate courses by city and county, then consult the course's official website for current information regarding operating hours, rates, and availability for booking.
How to use the North Carolina directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.
