    River Run Country Club

River Run Country Club located in beautiful Davidson, N.C., is often noted for its championship golf course, recognized by Golf Reporter as one of the finest in the Southeast. Designed to complement its’ natural setting, River Run weaves through a landscape of lakes, rolling hills, the Rocky River and centuries-old forests. Additionally, the course will undergo a complete renovation in 2007, including rebuilding all of the greens and laser leveling all tee boxes. The renovation of the driving range and practice facility was completed in the spring of 2006. Now with one of the best practice areas in the Carolinas, the new practice green measures roughly 7,000 sq. ft., as compared to the previous green which encompassed just over 3,000 sq. ft. With the expansion of the range area, golfers can now hit off of natural turf all year long. River Run’s majestic Jeffersonian clubhouse is as elegant as it is relaxing. Members can enjoy the chef’s culinary skills in the Rotunda Dining Room or relax with friends in the Wildcat Lounge.
 
The Club at Irish Creek

The Club at Irish Creek is a stunning 18-hole Davis Love III Signature Golf Course. Set into dramatic, rolling terrain that encircles a pristine 400-acre lake, Love's design takes full advantage of the mature forest, the natural contours, and the ever-present lakefront, which is visible from 16 of the 18 holes. Beyond the breathtaking views, this masterful design pays homage to a past where walking was part of the game. Love's goal was to create a course that members want to play repeatedly - a layout that challenges skilled players to think their way from tee to green, but also "is a course that my mom would enjoy," with few forced carries, wide fairways, and ample greens to accommodate recreational players and juniors just learning the game. The front nine is a core layout, with no internal housing and only a handful of homesites on the perimeter of the property. The back nine is more expansive, thanks to tees placed just steps from the preceding greens, while dense buffers of mature hardwoods preserve the integrity of the golf. In a rare exception to modern development practices, the course routing was clearly given priority.
