Starmount Forest at Starmount Forest Country Club

Starmount Forest Country Club, in the heart of Greensboro, boasts a golf course defined by its mature, tree-lined character. Reminiscent of mid-century parkland designs, the layout unfolds across gently rolling terrain, a stark contrast to the Piedmont region's more dramatic landscapes. The generous fairways belie subtle challenges, favoring players who can shape shots and navigate doglegs with strategic precision. Errant tee shots, however, will be punished by the thick Bermuda rough.

Designed in 1930 by the lesser known but capable, Perry Maxwell disciple, A.W. Tillinghast, the course offers a masterclass in restraint. The routing showcases his signature greens complexes: undulating surfaces that demand a deft putting touch, where knowing which side of the hole to land is crucial. Starmount has undergone periodic refinements over the years, with subtle tweaks that have only enhanced Tillinghast's original vision.

While Starmount Forest hasn't hosted major championships, its place within the Greensboro community is undeniable. The club fosters a close-knit membership known for its enthusiastic participation in local amateur golf. The club remains the center of golf in Greensboro, and is known for its well kept condition. The club also boasts a strong junior program which has been recognized nationally.
