About this course

Crooked Tree Golf Course sits in Browns Summit, a small community in the northern Piedmont region of North Carolina, roughly midway between Greensboro and the Virginia border. The course was designed by Tommy Pegram, a North Carolina-based architect who has worked on several layouts across the state, typically emphasizing playability and integration with natural terrain. Crooked Tree reflects the rolling topography characteristic of the Piedmont, where gentle elevation changes and wooded corridors shape the routing and strategic options. The layout takes advantage of the property's mature tree cover and natural contours, with fairways that move through stands of hardwoods and pines. Holes often require thoughtful positioning off the tee, as the tree-lined corridors reward accuracy and course management over pure distance. Greens are typically moderately sized and contoured to complement the surrounding slopes, asking players to consider approach angles and pin placements. Water features appear on several holes, adding variety to the challenge without dominating the design. Crooked Tree serves as a public facility, drawing golfers from the Greensboro area and surrounding Guilford County communities. The course fits within the tradition of accessible, well-maintained North Carolina public golf, offering a straightforward test that suits a range of skill levels. The setting remains relatively quiet and wooded, providing a retreat from nearby suburban development while remaining convenient to regional population centers.

Getting there

The journey to Crooked Tree Golf Course begins at Greensboro-Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO), situated roughly thirty minutes north of the club, or alternatively through Raleigh-Durham International (RDH), a ninety-minute drive to the southeast. From either hub, the route descends into the gently rolling terrain of the North Carolina Piedmont, where red clay and hardwood forests signal entry into Guilford County's quieter corners. The final miles toward Browns Summit trade the commercial corridor for rural back roads that wind through farmland and wooded ravines, the landscape growing more intimate and secluded as you approach the course's entrance - a fitting transition into one of the region's most understated and architecturally considered private layouts.
