Tournament grandstands and clubhouse behind the 18th green during championship week

Championship Golf

Where major championships are decided.

The Truist Championship, two PGA Championships, and the Green Mile that separates contenders from champions.

Quail Hollow Club is one of only a handful of American courses that regularly hosts both a PGA Tour signature event and major championships. That distinction — and the neighborhood that surrounds it — is why the Quail Hollow address carries a level of national recognition no other Charlotte community can match.

The Truist Championship

Held annually each May, the Truist Championship (previously the Wells Fargo Championship) is a PGA Tour signature event featuring an elevated purse and a limited field of the world's top players. It has been played at Quail Hollow Club nearly every year since 2003, and the community experiences it as much as it watches — for one week, quiet residential streets become the backdrop for one of the most-watched non-major events on the tour.

The tournament draws large weekly galleries and national television coverage; official attendance figures are published by the tour rather than estimated here. For a small set of Quail Hollow homes with direct course frontage, tournament play unfolds at the edge of the property — a lifestyle credential shared by only a handful of neighborhoods in the country (Augusta National's environs and select Pebble Beach homes among them).

The PGA Championship

Quail Hollow Club has hosted the PGA Championship — one of professional golf's four majors — in 2017 and 2025. Justin Thomas won the 2017 edition and Scottie Scheffler won in 2025, both over the same demanding closing stretch that has defined the club's tournament identity. A course must earn a major-championship rota position — Quail Hollow's inclusion reflects design quality, agronomic standards, and infrastructure at the highest tier.

The Green Mile

No single feature of the course is more central to its identity than the closing three holes — 16, 17, and 18 — known collectively as the Green Mile. A quarter-mile of water, wind, and consequence, they are widely considered among the most demanding closing stretches in professional golf. Tournaments here are frequently decided on 18, and the leaderboard often reshapes across those final three holes.

  • 16 — Par 4, 506 yards

    A punishing dogleg with a water-guarded approach. The setup punishes any bail-out.

  • 17 — Par 3, 223 yards

    All carry over water to a shallow green — one of the tour's most consequential par 3s.

  • 18 — Par 4, 494 yards

    A creek runs the entire left side of the fairway. Championships have been won and lost here.

Attending the tournament

Tickets are sold through the PGA Tour's official channels each year. Practice round tickets are typically the most accessible; tournament rounds (Thursday through Sunday) sell out quickly. Parking is off-site with shuttles to the club; residents of Quail Hollow experience temporary road closures and access controls for the tournament week each May.

Living near the tournament

For prospective buyers, it is worth understanding the practical rhythm of tournament week — a temporary influx of visitors, event infrastructure along the course perimeter, and controlled access to certain streets. In exchange, residents receive one of the most distinctive lifestyle credentials in American residential real estate. It is one week a year — and, for most homeowners, an unambiguous asset.
