Course Report
Over two-thirds of the course’s holes feature views of Lake Norman, creating a dramatic and memorable lakeside golfing environment.
About
Trump National Golf Club Charlotte is an 18-hole Greg Norman design set along Lake Norman, offering stunning water views, strategic challenges, and meticulous conditioning. The course is known for its elite practice facilities, luxurious clubhouse, and private atmosphere. Recognized among North Carolina's top private clubs, it delivers a refined golfing experience blending championship quality with scenic beauty.
Caddie Tip
Water comes into play on many holes, so careful club selection and precise shot placement are essential. On longer par 4s playing into the Lake Norman wind, favor accuracy over distance. The greens tend to be fast, so give yourself extra time reading breaks.
The Main Challenge
Navigating the fast greens and negotiating water hazards along Lake Norman presents the toughest challenge. The closing holes require strategic decision-making and precise approaches, with wind from the lake commonly influencing club selection and shot shape.
The Good
Golfers consistently praise the lakeside holes for their drama and natural beauty, especially the strategic risk-reward options that challenge both accuracy and nerve. The lake views and layout variety create lasting memories on multiple holes, setting the course apart in the region.
The Not So Good
Members occasionally wish for more member-only tee times, as demand can be high during peak season. The course sometimes receives feedback on bunker consistency and requests for additional approaches to improve drainage near water-adjacent fairways after heavy rain.
