The Members Club at St. James Plantation in Southport, NC Click
here for Final Round Results!
The following description is taken from the St. James Plantation website: Recognized in 1996 by Golf Digest’s “Places To Play,” The Members Club is unquestionably synonymous with a private club because of its amenities and first class service. Architect Hale Irwin’s entree to the Grand Strand is inspiring and refreshing. The essence of this immaculately groomed par 72 layout, captured on 200 acres of natural terrain, blends uncommon elevation changes with strategic challenges of water and sand amid beautiful Carolina pines. The picturesque three-story clubhouse features a complete
golf shop, locker rooms and lounges, snack bar, meeting rooms, state-of-the-art
fitness center, tennis courts, and an indoor swimming complex.
An extensive practice facility allows you to fine tune every aspect of
your game. Nine additional holes
are being constructed now, expanding the course to 27 holes. “If you look at the number of courses around the country that are played heavily, many of them are very easy…I think we’ve combined the best of both worlds.” “…fun and rewarding, a course that lets you go back to the 19th hole feeling good about your game.” At The Members Club, three-time U.S. Open Hale Irwin designed a course that is reminiscent of an “old style” course. The Par 3’s are known for their toughness, while the Par 5’s offer golfers a chance to score well. The course also has open entries to the green which can make certain holes seem easy, but the subtleties in the terrain deceive the golfer, and make it a good test for golfers of all skill levels.
