Benvenue Country Club Scorecard and Tees

Opened in 1922, Benvenue Country Club in Rocky Mount boasts an original Donald Ross course. Many of his designs demand strong iron play and accurate tee shots, and this course is no different. Small, fast greens are the course's signature feature. Undulating breaks make them difficult to read at times. The layout starts with a relatively open front nine where bunkered greens are the most prominent challenges. The back nine is longer and there are more trees and penalty ditches. The 16th hole is one of the most challenging on the golf course with a plateau green that sits four feet above the fairway and flanked with bunkers. The title of most difficult hole though, goes to Benvenue Country Club's fourth hole. There are out-of-bounds along the entire right side of the fairway on this hole and the narrow opening to the green is tightly bordered by three bunkers.
