About Old Town Club Rarely does one stumble upon inland topography this ideal for the game, but that is exactly what architect Perry Maxwell discovered at the R.J. Reynolds Estate in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. If undulation is the soul of golf, then Old Town Club rightfully earns its place among the noblest of playing fields. The Old Town landscape is highlighted by expansive, far-reaching fairways, miles of meandering creeks, heaving uneven terrain, sweeping cross-course vistas punctuated with artistic bunkering and fiendishly bold green contours, widely known for their trademark “Maxwell rolls.” Golfers never tire of these intricate green undulations, but it is those wildly sloping fairways—producing a variety of awkward stances and hanging lies—that are so fascinating. And if you’re lucky enough to play it firm and fast, the humps and bumps literally come to life generating a variety of bounces that help make the course so intriguing and infinitely different from round to round. According to Wake Forest alum Lanny Wadkins, it’s the swaying stance of an uneven lie that often separates the good player from the great—the fearless blow from the hesitant—and that’s precisely what makes Old Town “one of the best proving grounds in the world for serious young golfers,” says Wadkins. When describing the Old Town property, Coore & Crenshaw shaping specialist Quinn Thompson submitted the following: “Of all the land I've had the privilege of drumming on, Old Town may be the most interesting. If there's a Lord, he surely pegs one up here every Sunday, whether we know it or not.”
