Built in 1964, Cedarwood Country Club has enjoyed a rich heritage. Not long after the club was opened, in September 1964, an 18-hole exhibition was played here featuring some of the game’s greats—Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Bob Charles. This event helped place Cedarwood on Charlotte’s map of outstanding golf courses.
Cedarwood was designed by Ellis Maples, famed for his work at Grandfather Mountain and the Country Club of North Carolina at Pinehurst. The course stretches out to over 6,900 yards from the Black Tees, and wanders over rolling terrain dotted with hardwoods, cedars, and lovely ponds. The fairways are lush Bermuda, the greens are bent grass.
It is very much a traditional course, playable by people of all ages. The course is walkable with all the challenges placed in front of you with no tricked up features like many of the new courses today. Like any great course, it gives you risk-reward choices throughout the round. This characteristic makes the course pleasurable and challenging to golfers of all ages and abilities levels.
