In 1975, before I knew what golf architecture really was, I played Catawba CC. It is located perhaps an hour from Charlotte, NC.
I honestly can't say I remember much about the course. Having played Holston Hills last weekend, I'm thinking it's time to return to Catawba. Has anyone played it recently?

Catawba Country Club was chartered on November 5, 1945; the golf course was formally dedicated on Thanksgiving Day of 1946.
In the tradition of golfing excellence, Donald Ross, famed architect of Pinehurst's prestigious Number Two Course, among numerous others, was retained to craft a course guaranteed to deliver a unique golfing experience. The result of Ross' effort has both delighted and challenged Catawba Country Club members ever since - a distinctive golf course that is always a challenge, never mastered and, above all, playable day in and day out.
