Wedding DJ at Old Town Country Club in Winston-Salem, NC

The Space

Old Town Club sits on land that was once part of a 1,000-acre R.J. Reynolds estate known informally as Reynolda, with 165 acres of that estate set aside in 1938 to build the golf course. The property had been a horse farm before that, and architect Perry Maxwell was allowed to handpick his holes from that open, fallow land rather than work around existing structures, which is part of why the course reads as it does today.

Clifford Roberts, co-founder of Augusta National, recommended Maxwell for the job after Maxwell had just reworked the greens at Augusta ahead of the Masters, and the course opened in 1939 carrying that pedigree from the start. Maxwell built a double green here that may be his only surviving one anywhere, a detail golf historians still point to, and the course has stayed a private club since, with Wake Forest University’s golf teams practicing on the grounds.

Capacity & Layout

The dossier does not include a guest capacity, room list, or event space details for Old Town Club, so this section stays with what is documented: an 18-hole course measuring 7,038 yards from the championship tees at a par of 70, with a course rating of 74.5 and a slope of 140. Those numbers describe a serious, demanding layout for the golfers in a wedding party, though they say little about where a reception itself would be held.

In 2013, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw led a restoration of the course, addressing the bunkering and reworking the routing so that holes 7, 8, 9, 17, and 18 now share a single continuous swath of fairway. That kind of restoration work, done by two of the most respected names in golf architecture, is the clearest signal available in the material of how seriously the club maintains the property.

Amenities

Beyond the course itself, the dossier does not detail specific amenities such as a clubhouse, dining room, or bar for Old Town Club, so nothing further can be said here without guessing. What is documented is the course’s design pedigree: a Perry Maxwell original from 1939, restored by Coore and Crenshaw in 2013, and still in active use by Wake Forest University’s golf teams as a practice course today.

That combination, an original design tied to Augusta National’s own architect through Clifford Roberts’s recommendation, and a modern restoration by two of the sport’s most respected names in Coore and Crenshaw, is the amenity that distinguishes this property from a typical private club, even without further detail on its event facilities in the material gathered here.

Location & Getting There

Old Town Club sits within Winston-Salem on land that traces directly back to the 1,000-acre R.J. Reynolds estate, informally called Reynolda, a piece of local history that predates the golf course itself by decades. No further detail on parking, nearest airport, or driving distance is included in the material gathered on this property.

Because the material available describes Old Town Club entirely as an outdoor golf course rather than a room, a DJ working an event here would be setting up in open air across fairways and greens, where sound has to be aimed and leveled for an audience spread across open, rolling ground rather than contained by any walls or ceiling.
