The rolling terrain of this classic 1930 Ellis Maples / Perry Maxwell layout is conveniently situated near the center of downtown Winston-Salem. This family-friendly course still has enough bite to challenge all caliber of golfers, despite a limited number of traps and terrain hospitable to wayward shots.
Reynolds Park is especially attractive to college students and beginning golfers, yet hosts numerous county-wide tournaments. A well-established course, it has mature trees lining the fairways and a few creeks that come into play on almost all holes.
Although the course measures only 6,534 yards, it plays deceivingly longer and requires the use of all the clubs in your bag. The signature hole is #18, a 425-yard, par 4, requiring an approach shot to an elevated green.
The abundance of flowering trees and bushes makes the course glow in the spring and fall. Local golfers take advantage of the walker-friendly terrain, too.
Winston-Salem is home to Winston Salem State University, Wake Forest University, the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, historic Old Salem, and is host to the annual furniture mart, which attracts visitors from across the US and the world.
The 2005 international rankings for quality of life by Mercer Human Resource Consulting ranked Winston-Salem in the top 50. The company placed Winston-Salem in a tie for 46th place with Lexington, Ky.; Osaka, Japan; Pittsburgh; and Seattle.
