The Tillery Tradition Country Club already boasts a maturity that belies
its infancy; the result of an ambitious routing through dense hardwood
forests on the halcyonic western edge of the Uwharrie Mountains. The
course has drawn a good deal of praise and has been voted on the "Top
100 Courses in North Carolina," and was named one of the three "Best New
Courses" in 2002 by North Carolina Magazine.

Hole #1 - Par 4

The first hole is a slight dog leg left. Tee shot placement is critical
and is rewarded with an easy shot into the first green.

Hole #2 - Par 5

The second hole is a tight par 5. Golfers tend to favor the right to
avoid traps and thick woods on the left. The layout opens up around the
green.

Hole #3 - Par 4

Don't let the open spaces fool you. High grasses on the right and water
on the left make driving placement more important than yardage. A well
placed drive brings a short approach to an elevated green.

Hole #4 - Par 3

This par three crosses a creek valley to a green that is guarded by deep
bunkers on the right.

Hole #5 - Par 4

This is another tight par four guarded by trees on the right and water
on the left.
Hole #6 - Par 4

A nice view from the tees lets you see the entire hole. Not a very tight
hole, but the fairway bunker does come into play. Favor the right side
of the green on your approach, for anything right will feed down to the
center of this fairly large green.
Hole #7 - Par 5

This downhill par 4 requires a solid left to right tee shot which will
get plenty of roll. Your approach will be from a downhill lie to a small
two-tiered green guarded by a big bunker on the left. Par is a good
score here.
Hole #8 - Par 3

Picturesque! This downhill par 3 will play shorter than the yardage
indicates. Favor the left side of the green off the tee, as the slope
will help move the ball back toward the middle of this large green.
Hole #9 - Par 5 (Par 4 from Red tees)

A great birdie opportunity. Reachable in two, a good tee shot will reach
the top of the hill and give you a nice view of the green. This well
guarded green will hold a good shot and give you a chance for a birdie
or possibly an eagle.
Hole #10 - Par 5

Pull out the big stick and bust it!! A very generous fairway has no
bunkers until you get within 100 yards of the green. Be careful on you
second shot: left is “no-mans land”. This green is tiered front to back.
Take advantage of a middle pin position, as most shots will filter to
the center of the green.
Hole #11 - Par 4

A solid par 4 with trouble down the left side. The longer you hit it,
the tighter it gets. 3-wood is not a bad choice off the tee. Your
approach shot should hit the large putting surface with a very gentle
slope. Short and left is not good.

Hole #12 - Par 3

The first of four very challenging holes in a row. A fantastic par 3
where your club selection could change by 3 clubs depending on the pin
position. A back pin is most difficult. Favor being long as the mounding
right and long could kick the ball back on the green.

Hole #13 - Par 4

The shape of this hole will entice the long hitter to cut the corner.
However, there is plenty of room down the left side for a safer tee
shot. A large elevated green will accept a good shot, but make sure you
have enough club.
Hole #14 - Par 4

A solid tee shot is needed here to reach the top of the hill in the
fairway to get a good look at this slightly elevated and very undulating
green. No bunkers needed on this #1 handicap hole. Par is a great score
here.
Hole #15 - Par 4

Plenty of room off the tee. Another good drive needed here to view the
green on your approach. This well guarded green is wide, but not very
deep, putting a premium on club selection. Par is a very good score on
this hole.
Hole #16 - Par 4

A short par 4, however the severe right to left lay of the land makes
this hole play tougher than it looks. Consider laying back off the tee
to have a more level stance for your approach. This green slopes
dramatically from the right to left with a ridge running across the
middle.

Hole #17 - Par 3

A good birdie opportunity. This short par 3 plays slightly downhill and
offers plenty of pin positions on a large, sloping green. A back pin can
be dangerous if you go long and right.

Hole # 18

Eagles abound here. Really! Look for the bald eagle that resides here.
Big hitters can cut the corner and attack the green on their 2nd shot;
however, danger lurks to the right from 90 yards in. Most will lay up to
110 yards out for an approach to a large left-to-right sloping green. A
back pin position will get your blood pumping.
