The Tillery Tradition Country Club

Test your game against one of the Carolinas’ best with today’s feature: $25 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at The Tillery Tradition Country Club in Mount Gilead near Charlotte ($51 Value. Good Any Time until December 15, 2016!)

Few modern courses receive virtually universal acclaim by the critics and the playing public alike, and lucky for you, today’s feature, Tillery Tradition Country Club, is just such a course. Opened in the early 2000s and built on 540 sprawling acres of the finest of Mt. Gilead countryside, this breathtaking course and the exceptional challenge it provides will test and impress even the most experienced scratch player.

Defined by the same serenity and stunning beauty that permeates some of the area’s most exclusive private clubs, this almost 7,000-yard layout is the kind of exceptional course you’ll fall in love with before you leave the first tee. Named one of the Best New Courses by North Carolina Magazine upon opening nearly 15 years ago, and only improving in that time, the course is designed to show off both the mature natural landscape of the Carolinas, and test every club in the bag of each golfer who comes to play. The 18 here are cut through a spectacular and dense hardwood forest, resulting in many holes tightly lined by towering mature trees that serve to both excite the sightline and challenge even the most steady shotmakers.

The nearby Uwharrie Mountains bring rolling undulation and elevation changes to most fairways and greens, resulting in difficult-to-discern approach yardages even from the center of the short grass. Do your best to choose the proper club for each shot, as the cleverly shaped greens are protected by deep white sand bunkers that make for an incredibly challenging up-and-down. Remain composed and focus on executing your course management plan throughout your round, and this intriguing layout has been known to surrender a low score or two to golfers who can keep it together through 18.

Along with the beautiful and challenging course, The Tillery Tradition also provides every amenity you need to play your best. Equipment, apparel, and accessories can be purchased at the clubhouse pro shop, and a great 19th hole celebration can be had at The Eagles Nest Restaurant – one of the area’s finest eateries.
