Description

This George W. Cobb design opened in 1979 as Mallard Head Country Club and is an affordable, no-frills public layout near Lake Norman. The course was purchased in the summer of 2025 by the company that also owns Lake Norman Racquet & Social Club. The new owners, Fundamental Global, have already started major upgrades, including improved fairways, new tee boxes, enhanced greens maintenance, and a brand-new fleet of golf carts. The clubhouse is being fully redesigned into a modern space for social events, dining, and gatherings. Membership is also being refreshed, with more tournaments, community events, and family-friendly activities on the calendar. The club’s new general manager is Gavin Arsenault, former GM of Trump National Golf Club and Rock Barn Country Club & Spa.

Notes

Closed Mondays and Members-only on Fridays and Saturdays so that just leaves Tues-Thurs and Sundays for public play.

B-Man's Take

I've never played here as it used to be more of a no-frills public course, but look for my review soon as I keep an eye on the renovations and upgrades.
