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…

Coore & Crenshaw pulled the curtain back on a Maxwell relic and turned it into a scintillating golf walk. Scale, big vistas and bold looks are everywhere. The framing bunkers at far off holes and trusting lines on blind tee shots are prevalent. I think 5,7,8,11 and 13 are particularly memorable.

The transfusions, practice facility, course layout, and greens were all tremendous. The quality of course you get for the price is pretty incredible. Also, some awesome views of the city skyline from some of the tee boxes.

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. State pages include courses across North Carolina. Rankings refresh about hourly.
