Hope Valley Country Club

About Hope Valley Country Club:

Hope Valley Country Club is the "total gem" of Donald James Ross (1872 - 1948), golf's most famous and prolific architect. Of the 385 courses designed by Ross, perhaps only at Hope Valley in Durham, North Carolina did he have such a comprehensive role.
Even before the citizens organizing the club would accept the real estate developer's offer of a golf course, they insisted Donald Ross see the property and determine if it was suitable for a "high grade golf course and country club." Moreover, Ross designed the course, made on-site inspections during construction, shared in planning its surrounding roads and buffer land, and had a personal acquaintance with the club architect.

Since the club’s inception Hope Valley golfers have enjoyed prominence competing on junior, college and tour levels – while all Hope Valley golfers enjoy the distinctive camaraderie and many pleasures that stem from this tight yet welcoming golfing community. No matter what your handicap may be, the classic Donald Ross course, accompanying practice areas, dynamic golf programs, exciting tournaments, and fun-filled golf social events make every round at Hope Valley both challenging and fun. Members and their guests are reminded on the scorecard, “When you play Hope Valley, you are part of golf history”.
