Monroe Country Club is a public municipal course whose origins lie in a Depression-era civic recreation project. North Carolina historic-preservation documentation records that the course was constructed by the WPA around 1936 as part of the Lee Park recreation area and attributes its design to Donald Ross. The original course consisted of nine holes beside Lake Lee; the facility later developed into the present 18-hole layout.
Published course information lists the current course at par 72 and 6,725 yards from the blue tees, with a 73.1 course rating and 132 slope. Other documented tees include White at 6,276 yards, Gold at 5,798 and Red at 4,807. The course therefore combines an original Ross-era municipal nine with later development rather than representing an untouched 18-hole Ross routing.
The course is an 18-hole golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,725 yards, course rating 73.1 and slope rating 132. Designed by Donald Ross, the course originally opened in 1936. It is open to the public.
The course grew from Monroe's Lee Park recreation project beside Lake Lee. North Carolina historic-preservation records state that the WPA constructed what became Monroe Country Club around 1936 and that Donald Ross designed the golf course. The original complex included nine golf holes as well as a clubhouse, professional's house, caddie shack, bath house and swimming pool.
The original Ross work comprised nine holes. Later work expanded and modified the facility, with Tom Jackson and Richard Mandell among those credited with subsequent course work.
The modern Monroe Country Club is an 18-hole, par-72 public municipal facility, while retaining the historical connection to Ross's original nine.
