Quail Hollow Club is a country club and golf course located in the Quail Hollow neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. It is a private member club founded in 1959, with the golf course opened in 1961.

History
The foundation of Quail Hollow Club is traced back to a meeting held by James J. Harris on April 13, 1959. The club was officially constituted in January 1960, with the golf course opening the following year. The clubhouse opened on September 14, 1967.[7]
Golf course
The 18-hole championship course at Quail Hollow was designed by golf course architect George Cobb who designed several golf courses, primarily in the southeastern United States. Opened on June 3, 1961, it underwent a series of improvements, including modifications of several holes by Arnold Palmer in 1986, and a redesign by Tom Fazio in 1997, 2003, and from 2014 to 2016 in preparation for the PGA Championship.[8] South of central Charlotte, the average elevation of the course is approximately 600 feet (185 m) above sea level. The course is part of an extensive housing development.
