Waterford Golf Club is an 18-hole Championship golf course, designed by Hale Irwin, opened for play in 1997. Located just 25 minutes from Uptown Charlotte, Waterford is a tranquil journey molded by Mother Nature and refined by 3-time U.S. Open winner Hale Irwin. This classic design has received rave reviews from local and national media as well as golfers all over the Southeast. The course, reaching 6,940 yards from the back tees, is nestled amongst dense hardwoods and rolling terrain. With water from lakes and creeks coming into play on 16 of the 18 holes, Waterford is a true shotmaker's course. The large undulating bermuda mini-verde greens can challenge even the best of putters when approaching from the bermuda fairways. Its traditional layout is a perfect fit for the land and provides natural privacy.
