What began as the historical preservation of Donald Ross’ last golf course design in Raleigh, NC, has blossomed into a portfolio of championship courses from the mountains to the coast. Our “pure golf for the true golfer” motto transcends agronomy, sport and culinary disciplines it is a principle lived every day through exceptional facilities and service. The “Pure Golf for the True Golfer” video encapsulates this principle, made in celebration of #NationalGolfDay
@anngelting Love the PCC cardboard regatta tradition!
Because it’s awful out in Charlotte, I wanted to show you how nice things look from the 11th tee box

Golf Tip.....
Putting cures all, but it also can ruin a great ball striking day We highly encourage all of you to spend at least 25% of your practice time putting. Come up with fun drills that will help take the monotony out of your usual putting practice As always, our team as several great drills we can assist with should you need recommendations.Stopbytheshopandletushelp.

After a successful June which included Crown Cup, aerification, and bridge work, we now move into the dog days of summer The first half of the year brought us a very normal weather pattern, plenty of rain, and a very good transition out of dormancy Hopefully, the next six months are good to us as well.
With the heat and humidity comes thriving bermudagrass Although we have started sodding some areas around the course, the plan is to use these ideal growing conditions to our advantage and continue to sod out some of the lingering bare spots and eyesores out there Please be mindful of these areas andtheropeandstakesanddonotdrivethroughanynewsod
With the increased rounds of golf over the past few years, we have seen the effects of increased wear and tear on the golf course A simple way we can all help the cause is to avoid using the same traffic patterns as we go about traveling the course on a daily basis Please scatter your golf cart travel and push cart travel by avoiding the use of the same travel paths as everyone else (pathofleastresistance).
Lastly, keeping all four golf cart tires on the cart path while parking at tees andgreensmakesahugedifferenceaswell.

I have been at PCC for 4 months I work in the kitchen as a line cook; however, I do enjoy going out to eat One of my favorite spots to dine is Kpot Korean BBQ Restaurant There, I am actually able to cook because it has a BBQ pit/bowl built into the table. Everyone at the table can choose what they want to cook and for how long. It’s an interactive evening of a culinary delight! I also really enjoy having a slice of cheesecake and some crispy chicken wingseverynowandthen
I was asked who I would like to have dinner with, alive or deceased; I choose my grandpa Unfortunately, he passed when my mom was 15 years old My mom has always spoke very highlyofhimintheshortperiodoftimehewasinherlife.Iwouldlovetobeabletotellmy grandpa how strong my mom has been since he’s been gone and how much she misses him Iwouldjustlovetohaveaconversationwithhim
