During the upheaval caused by the Coronavirus, PHOC has done a good job through the internet of affording members continued opportunities to get outdoors and stay active while complying with distancing regulations. This has been mentally and physically beneficial for club members.
3. Grandover Resort - West Course
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 22 reviews
Opened in May 1997, the West Course is formed with the naturally rolling terrain and elevation changes found in the Piedmont of North Carolina. A links style layout flows away from the resort for the first 9 holes and returns for the inward nine. The West Course measures 6800 yards from the championship tees.

Especially during the pandemic, this area has served as a “headquarters” for many healthy and beneficial activities. For hikers, it is a trailhead for Nat Greene and Wild Turkey trails ( Wild Turkey is also a nice bike trail). Just across the street is also lovely Laurel Bluff Trail, and across the dam/ bridge are Piedmont and Reedy Fork Trails. Walking around the lake is only about 8.2 miles. Of course, fishing and boating available here too. Families, complying with CoVid guidelines, are also loving this facility. There are about 100 miles of trails out this way ... what a community asset. It’s free!
5. Newbridge Bank Park

What a jewel! The ballpark was immaculate. The seats are quite close to the field and most are inside the infield dirt. The food and beverage booths are plentiful and you can still watch the game while standing in line. Prices are reasonable for both tickets and food (and beer). The park has a very nice souvenir shop comparable to some major league stadiums. I visited the park on a weekend and had an easy time finding street parking - don't know what it would be like on a weeknight. The club boxes are above the concession area, so you have a place to retreat to if there's a rain delay. There's even a small playground for the little ones if they get restless. The only downside is that the Grandstand Bar in the left field corner has poor sightlines to the action - the view is blocked by the tables in the Grandstand Box seats. At the quirky War Memorial Stadium the similar bar had great sightlines. That said, this is a minor quibble.
6. Grandover Resort - East Course
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 17 reviews
Opened in March 1996, the East Course was designed by Gary Panks and David Graham. Many of the holes were designed to give a stadium-effect around them. The tree lined fairways provide a seasonal blaze of color offering our guests the feeling of being in a nature preserve in America’s heartland of golf.

First, the course itself is and always has been excellent. It feels like a PGA course because it is, despite losing the Greensboro tournament. The facilities have suffered over the years but new owners are finally putting everything right.
