About

Our Story

In 1991, Tom Fazio created a masterpiece along a two and a half mile peninsula of Badin Lake. The piece of land now known as Uwharrie Point was soon home to a country club bearing the historic name for North Carolina, "Old North State."

Recognized by Golf Digest as the number two “Best New Private Course in America” its inaugural year, Old North State Club remains one of North Carolina’s most celebrated golf courses. In fact, the North Carolina Golf Panel includes this Tom Fazio masterpiece among the state’s top courses year after year. Nestled between Badin Lake and the Uwharrie National Forest, the property pairs exceptional golf with full country club amenities.

Inside the gates of the Uwharrie Point community, our modern and spacious clubhouse offers sweeping views of the lake and forest in addition to stand-out cuisine. Adjoining tennis, aquatics and fitness facilities offer fun for the whole family. To complete the experience, rent or store a boat at our nearby marina and invite guests to stay the weekend at either the lakefront lodge or one of our rental homes.
