The back nine at The Country Club of North Carolina. The 10th isn't the greatest, but starting with the 11th, it's a succession of one great hole after another circling a large lake amidst longleaf pines and blooming dogwood trees in the spring. The 13th hole (a downhill par 3 with the lake in the background), the 14th, an uphill 445-yard par 4 over the lake
and the 15th, another stern par 4 doglegging right and then over an inlet with the lake on the left, may be the best and most scenic three holes in a row anywhere. When I used to compete in the North-South Amateur, I frequently started the day just standing behind the 14th green and watching the morning unfold.
