## History

The foundation of Quail Hollow Club is traced back to a meeting held by James J. Harris on April 13, 1959. The club was officially constituted in January 1960, with the golf course opening the following year. The clubhouse opened on September 14, 1967.[7]

## Golf course

The 18-hole championship course at Quail Hollow was designed by golf course architect [George Cobb](/source/George_Cobb_(golf)) who designed several golf courses, primarily in the southeastern United States. Opened on June 3, 1961, it underwent a series of improvements, including modifications of several holes by [Arnold Palmer](/source/Arnold_Palmer) in 1986, and a redesign by [Tom Fazio](/source/Tom_Fazio) in 1997, 2003, and from 2014 to 2016 in preparation for the PGA Championship.[8] South of central Charlotte, the average [elevation](/source/Elevation) of the course is approximately 600 feet (185 m) above [sea level](/source/Sea_level). The course is part of an extensive housing development.
