Special course with rich history, very challenging off the tee, and commands respect around the greens. Yes, some weak holes but none that are remotely offensive. I firmly believe QHC is a fantastic course and an excellent championship test…

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Charlotte, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
