Myers Park Country Club, the site of the WSGA 2012 Amateur, continues the WSGA’S tradition of finding historic and challenging courses for our Amateur play.

Myers Park Country Club was charted in 1921 on a beautiful park setting of trees planted for the future by a cotton plantation owner. In 1945 Donald Ross completed a re-design of the golf course, which gained instant fame combined with the name Byron Nelson. The Charlotte Open, held at Myers Park Country Club in 1945, was stop number two on Byron Nelson’s incredible eleven straight PGA tour wins. This record today is deemed “unbreakable”.

In 2008 the Myers Park C.C. Golf Course was resigned by Kris Spence. Spence brought the Ross design into the modern era of golf by reworking the greens, tee boxes, re-contouring slopes and re-shaping bunkers. The resulting course still reflects the golden era of golf design in the U.S. under Donald Ross; yet, challenges modern players of all levels on a most magnificent setting of a Oaks, Maple trees and rolling terrain.

You can view each hole of the course by visiting the Myers Park website at www.myersparkcc.com.  Under “amenities” will be golf. From there you will be guided to the pictorial tour of each hole.

You may also note on the club’s home page that the Club was awarded the coveted Platinum Club Award for Country Clubs in 2009.
