About the Course
Challenging, Yet
Player Friendly
Falling Creek Country Club was designed by Gene Hamm and opened in 1967 as a par-70 course. It was later adjusted to a par 71 with the addition of a new men's tee box on the 13th hole. Today, the course stretches 6,430 yards from the championship tees.
Narrow fairways and long par 3s are nestled between huge oaks and tall pines, making every round a true test of shot-making. But don't let that scare you off — the layout is fair, and golfers of every skill level find it enjoyable.
Whether you're a scratch golfer looking for a challenge or a beginner just getting started, you'll have a great time at Falling Creek. We guarantee it.

The Greens
The Best Greens
in Eastern NC
In June 2005, all 18 greens were renovated with Champion Bermuda grass. This variety is prized for its dense, uniform texture and its ability to hold a true, consistent roll — exactly what you want when you're trying to make that birdie putt.
Our Greens Superintendent Tyler Sutton and his crew take tremendous pride in the condition of the course. Come see for yourself why golfers from all over Eastern North Carolina make the trip to Kinston just to play our greens.
