Quail Hollow

I've worked every event at Quail Hollow since the early 2000s.

There is a reason it is suddenly in the discussion for majors: it was built for them.

Several things:

1) The course is easy to navigate, although kind of spread out. There is a very wide paved service road that helps with crowd movement.

2) It is a stadium-type course, especially on the finishing holes. Great views of a great course.

3) There are a lot of fan-gathering areas - near the back nine lake, close to 10 green/13 tee, by the putting green and practice area and all along #7.

4) There are a bunch of large trees to provide shade.

5) Concessions and porta-johns are plentiful.

The folks who run Quail Hollow know what they're doing, so the tournaments are always well-run.

The only issue, and it isn't unique to QH, is getting in and out. They do what they can with huge Uber/taxi lots and the use of remote parking, but it can be a half hour or more just to get off the property.

If you're thinking of going, I highly recommend it.

looks beautiful and difficult on TV. Can the general public play it?

Quail Hollow is about as exclusive a club you're going to find outside of Augusta. It is members only unless you are the guest of a member.

I get to play at a lot of private clubs, but I haven't even inquired about playing there, because I know how exclusive it is. There are at least two tour pros who are members, and probably more.
