🏆 WE’RE HONORED TO ANNOUNCE! 🏆

For the second time in just six months, Marion Lake Club has been selected by the NCHSAA, alongside McDowell High School, to host a 7A West Regional Golf Tournament! ⛳️

This marks the second consecutive golf season that McDowell County has hosted a regional golf event. Last spring, Marion Lake Club proudly hosted the 7A Men’s West Regional, and we are thrilled to welcome the region’s top women’s golfers this fall!

📅 Anticipated Date: Tuesday, October 20th

We couldn’t be more proud of our beautiful golf course, outstanding facilities, and exceptional staff who work together to make Marion Lake Club a venue worthy of an event like this.

Most importantly, we are incredibly grateful for our partnership with McDowell High School and for all of the student-athletes, coaches, parents, volunteers, and supporters who help make these events possible. ❤️

We’re honored to represent McDowell County and excited to showcase Marion Lake Club once again on the regional stage!

⛳️ Congratulations to all the athletes who will be competing, and welcome to Marion Lake Club! 🏆

⛳ TAKE CARE OF THE COURSE — IT’S EVERY PLAYER’S RESPONSIBILITY!

Please take a few minutes to watch this helpful video from the USGA on how to properly rake a bunker.

Our maintenance team works hard every day to keep Marion Lake Club in great playing condition, but players play an important role too! A few extra seconds to rake your footprints and the area disturbed by your shot can make a big difference for the golfer behind you.

The USGA recommends entering and exiting bunkers from the low side whenever possible and leaving the sand as smooth—or smoother—than you found it. (USGA)

👉 Watch the video below and help us leave the course better than we found it!

Thank you for doing your part to care for YOUR golf course! 💚⛳

Having good bunker etiquette is very helpful for course maintenance...

Everyone give Millard a big shoutout for always giving the grounds crew a helping hand each time we aerate the greens. He is 92 years & still enjoys helping around the course.

⛳ GREENS AERIFICATION THIS WEEK! 🌱

Marion Lake Club will be aerifying our greens this week as part of our ongoing commitment to keeping the course in the best possible condition.

Aerification is an important part of maintaining healthy, strong, and playable greens. The process relieves soil compaction, improves air and water movement to the roots, encourages healthy root growth, and allows the greens to recover and stay in great shape throughout the season.

You may notice the greens looking and playing a little differently immediately following aerification, but we promise it’s all part of the process! 🌱🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️

We apologize for the slight inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding while we give our greens the care they need. Your patience now will help us enjoy healthier, smoother greens for the months ahead!

Thank you for supporting Marion Lake Club! 💚⛳
