Cleghorn Golf & Sports Club
About Cleghorn Golf & Sports Club
Cleghorn Golf & Sports Club in Rutherfordton, North Carolina, opens with a short, straight par 4 whose fairway tightens as it approaches the green, with trouble waiting left and long.
The following hole is a dogleg right that favors a left-to-right ball flight, though a push can end up among the trees. Its green is roomy but sits slightly elevated, making an extra club worthwhile, and a miss is more forgiving on the left side.
A par 3 follows, playing to one of the few greens on the course that is not elevated, with the shot laid out plainly in view from the tee.
