Course Report
NCR Country Club (South) hosted the 1969 PGA Championship, with Raymond Floyd claiming his first major title on these storied fairways.
About
NCR Country Club’s South Course, designed by Dick Wilson in 1954, is a championship-caliber Parkland layout. It is renowned for its rolling, wooded terrain and has hosted several major tournaments, including the 1969 PGA Championship. The course is revered for its strategic design, remarkable greens, and consistent conditions.
Caddie Tip
Pay close attention to your approach shots—many greens are subtly contoured and heavily protected by bunkers. Staying below the hole is key, as putts from above can be slick, especially in summer. Local knowledge values the premium on accuracy over distance off the tee.
The Main Challenge
Players face relentless pressure on approach shots, with raised greens, deep bunkers, and undulating putting surfaces. The back nine demands strategic play and shot shaping, while length off the tee is rewarded but not at the expense of accuracy. Wind and tough pin positions add to the championship test.
The Good
Members consistently praise the exceptional course conditions and tournament-level greens. The South Course is widely loved for its strong, strategic design and the sense of history that comes from walking championship fairways once played by legends.
The Not So Good
Golfers occasionally wish for better winter drainage and faster green recovery after heavy rain. Some note the dense trees can penalize wayward shots severely, and first-time visitors may find a few greens difficult to hold without precise approaches.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The 18th hole is a challenging par 4 finishing beside the clubhouse with a sweeping dogleg. Demanding both length and accuracy off the tee, players face a tough approach over a guarded green, making it a dramatic and decisive conclusion to championship events.
Clubhouse
The expansive clubhouse includes fine dining, a full bar, locker rooms, event spaces, pro shop, and panoramic views of the course. Members enjoy a well-appointed fitness center, meeting rooms, outdoor patio, and active social calendar.
Practice Facilities
The club boasts a spacious driving range, short-game area with bunkers, chipping and putting greens. Instruction is available from PGA professionals, and extensive practice amenities match the level of a championship-caliber venue.
