The Billy Graham Library
Designed to reflect Billy Graham's journey from a humble farm boy to an international ambassador of God's love, the barn-shaped building is situated on 20 landscaped acres, only miles from where Billy Graham grew up in Charlotte, NC.

Birkdale Golf Club
Just minutes from the club, the Arnold Palmer designed Birkdale golf course, is a public facility with a "private club" atmosphere. Located on 200 acres of rolling terrain, carved between tall pines and natural streams, Birkdale is a challenging 7,013 yard, par 72 course made up of Bermuda fairways and Crenshaw bent grass greens offering a true test of golf skills. Birkdale has received a good deal of acclaim, being voted one of the top five public golf courses in North Carolina. When it opened in 1997 it was voted The Best New Golf Course in North Carolina and was named Charlotte's Best Public Course in 1998. Four sets of tees allows golfers of all abilities to enjoy the layout at Birkdale. The course features a number of elevation changes, which are appealing to the eye and add to the challenge. Well placed water hazards require players to use every shot in their bag.

Birkdale Village
Restaurants, shopping, movie theaters, outdoor spray park, and summer concert venue make Birkdale the place for guests who want a variety of options all within walking distance of one another. Visit their website to see what a great spot this is for the entire family. From an early morning cup of coffee at Starbucks, and shop till you drop opportunities, to a movie or concert, dinner and your favorite beverage, you're gonna love all that Birkdale has to offer.



These are just a few of the fine venues you'll find nearby when you arrive in our Town. We invite you to Stay & Play
