Getting there
Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) serves as the gateway, placing you less than twenty minutes from Harry L. Jones Sr. Golf Course on the city's northwest side. The drive from the terminal follows I-85 north before peeling west into neighborhoods where the urban grid softens into tree-lined residential streets. This is municipal golf at its most accessible - no winding country approaches or guarded gates, just a straightforward passage through Charlotte's west end to a course that has quietly served the community since 1960, its first tee waiting just beyond a modest clubhouse and parking lot.
