Set amid a traditional Southern landscape, FCC offers a par 72 18-hole golf course meandering through more than 6,600 yards of towering pine trees. The FCC golf course was begun in 1924 with 64 acres of land and a 3-hole golf course. It was promptly enlarged to 9 holes. In 1963, an additional 9 holes designed by golf architect George Curtis was added. From there, the course evolved into our present day 18-hole championship course.
