Golf at Firethorne Country Club
Rock walls, creeks, and ponds accentuate the beautiful views and natural setting. We offer a Tom Jackson championship-designed 18-hole golf course providing a challenge to golfers of all levels. Adjacent to the Clubhouse is an outstanding practice facility with a driving range, putting green and a teaching area.
A Tom Jackson Masterpiece:
Firethorne's crown jewel is its 18-hole championship golf course, originally designed by the renowned architect Tom Jackson. Get ready to navigate rolling fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and picturesque lakes that come into play on nearly every hole. This challenging layout will test your precision, course management, and finesse around the greens.
A Commitment to Excellence:
As part of a multi-million dollar renovation, the club is constantly evolving. The 9th hole has been reimagined from a 516 yard par 5 from the black tees, to a 440-460 yard par 4. We transformed the former 9th green into a new short game practice area, allowing for pitch shots up to 75 yards. This further showcases the club's dedication to providing golfers with a diverse and dynamic playing experience.
Stay tuned for exciting updates on the renovation of all putting green complexes and the leveling and resod of all tee boxes. Firethorne is committed to providing its Members and guests with the best possible golfing experience, and these upgrades are sure to elevate the game to a whole new level.

Tee Off In Two States: Firethorn’s Unique Layout
A Jackson's masterpiece, the golf course straddles the NC-SC border, weaving a challenging 18-hole tale across state lines. From rolling fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and picturesque lakes, each swing whispers friendly rivalry. Hole 13's epic drive launches you into South Carolina, followed by two more holes on Palmetto soil. The 16th tee-off in SC invites a North Carolina approach, with a green back in SC. After crossing back into NC on Hole 17, you wrap up the round in the state of origin, delivering a memorable conclusion with an exhilarating finish on the 18th. Firethorne is a golfing adventure for all skill levels where borders blur and challenges abound.
