It is a private member club founded in 1959, with the golf course opened in 1961.

Quail Hollow has hosted the PGA Tour's Truist Championship (formerly sponsored by Wells Fargo) since 2003, having previously hosted the Kemper Open from 1969 to 1979. It has also hosted the PGA Championship twice (2017 and 2025) and the Presidents Cup in 2022.

History

The foundation of Quail Hollow Club is traced back to a meeting held by James J. Harris on April 13, 1959. The club was officially constituted in January 1960, with the golf course opening the following year. The clubhouse opened on September 14, 1967.

Golf course

The 18-hole championship course at Quail Hollow was designed by golf course architect George Cobb who designed several golf courses, primarily in the southeastern United States. Opened on June 3, 1961, it underwent a series of improvements, including modifications of several holes by Arnold Palmer in 1986, and a redesign by Tom Fazio in 1997, 2003, and from 2014 to 2016 in preparation for the PGA Championship. South of central Charlotte, the average elevation of the course is approximately 600 ft above sea level. The course is part of an extensive housing development.

Tournaments hosted

Quail Hollow hosted the Kemper Open on the PGA Tour from 1969 through 1979, and the senior tour's PaineWebber Invitational from 1983 through 1989. The PGA Tour returned to Quail Hollow in 2003 with the Wachovia Championship, now the Truist Championship, which has been held every year since except 2020 when it was cancelled due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. Additionally the club hosted the 2017 PGA Championship and 2025 PGA Championship with the Truist Championship being held at Eagle Point in Wilmington, North Carolina in 2017 and at Philadelphia Cricket Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2025. In 2022, Quail Hollow hosted the fourteenth edition of the Presidents Cup (postponed from 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic) with the Truist Championship being held at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm in Potomac, Maryland.

Partnerships

In December 2023, Penn Entertainment partnered with Quail Hollow in order to receive market access for its ESPN Bet sportsbook in the state of North Carolina. The agreement also made ESPN Bet the official sports betting sponsor of the Truist Championship.
