BENTWINDS GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Fuquay Varina, NC, USA
Designed by Kris Spence, Tom Hunter


Bentwinds Golf & Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Fuquay Varina, a town in the Research Triangle region south of Raleigh. The course was designed by Tom Hunter and Kris Spence, architects who have worked on several layouts across the Carolinas. The property takes advantage of natural elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of North Carolina's Piedmont landscape, where pine and hardwood forests frame fairways carved through gently undulating ground.
The routing moves through varied topography, with holes that incorporate both open and tree-lined playing corridors. Water features appear on several holes, adding strategic interest to approach shots and requiring thoughtful club selection. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough challenge to engage accomplished players, a balance common in modern country club layouts intended for daily member play.
Bentwinds serves as the centerpiece of a residential golf community, providing members with a traditional country club experience that includes practice facilities and social amenities. The club functions as a gathering place for families and golfers in the Fuquay Varina area, which has grown considerably as part of the broader expansion of the Triangle region. The course reflects the style of contemporary Carolina golf design, where natural land features guide the routing and native vegetation defines the character of individual holes.
