Greensboro Country Club history

When the golf course opened on August 1, 1930, West Market Boulevard (now West Market Street) had not been extended beyond Sunset Hills and there were very few homes for miles.

Prior to that, Henry Picard and Walter Hagen dueled in an 18-hole playoff for the 1932 Carolinas Open title.

The 1947 United States Women’s Open was held at Starmount Forest Country Club, just the second year the event was held.

The clubhouse was rebuilt after a fire destroyed the original structure in 1956.

The clubhouse was rebuilt in 1957 after a fire destroyed the original structure.

Our current main Clubhouse located on Sunset Drive was built in 1975 and is nestled in the heart of Irving Park.

In 1988, the club renovated several areas including a new swimming pool, air conditioned snack bar, tennis building, card/game room and golf pro shop on the lower level.

In 1994, the club closed for six months for a major renovation of the kitchen facilities, the entire lower level, locker rooms, meeting facilities, new golf course irrigation system and landscaping in major areas around the clubhouse.

The latest major renovation, which began in 2015, set out to add a resort-style pool and outdoor dining facility, short game practice facility for golf, renovate the member dining side of the 34,000 square foot clubhouse, and add two more outdoor clay tennis courts.
