Gaston Country Club

Overview: Gaston Country Club is a private Ellis Maples course in Gastonia. The layout belongs to the Piedmont country-club tradition, with a mature parkland setting and a long local membership history. The current 18-hole course dates from the club's postwar rebuilding phase rather than from the first corporation formed in the area.

History: A Gastonia Country Club corporation was formed in 1919, and the club reorganized as Gaston Country Club in 1927. Ellis Maples was later hired to design and build the present 18-hole course, which was initially built in 1958. The club's own history keeps those stages separate.

Did You Know? Gaston Country Club's 1919 and 1927 dates refer to earlier club organizations. The Ellis Maples course associated with the current 18-hole profile was built in 1958, an important distinction for accurate historical metadata.
