The Space
Old North State Club is a premier golf-club wedding venue set on Badin Lake at Uwharrie Point near New London, in the scenic Uwharrie region of central North Carolina. A McConnell Golf property, the club pairs a celebrated Tom Fazio golf course, recognized by Golf Digest as the No. 2 Best New Private Course in America in its inaugural year, with a lakeside setting and full club amenities. The result is an elegant, resort-like backdrop with beautiful grounds and a genuine sense of place as a cornerstone of its community. For couples who want a polished, country-club wedding with lake and golf-course scenery, exceptional service, and a wealth of amenities for their guests, Old North State Club offers a refined and memorable setting in one of the state’s most beautiful lake regions.
Capacity & Layout
As a full private club, Old North State Club gives couples elegant event spaces along with the scenic backdrop of a championship Tom Fazio golf course and the shores of Badin Lake. Couples can hold the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception across the club’s refined spaces and manicured grounds, moving guests naturally from vows to dinner to dancing with the golf course and lake views as a constant backdrop. The club is equipped to handle both larger, formal weddings and more intimate celebrations, and its experienced staff helps coordinate the flow of the day. The mix of indoor event spaces and beautiful lakeside and golf-course grounds gives a built-in weather plan and plenty of photo settings. That combination of polished spaces and a stunning natural setting lets couples design a seamless, well-paced celebration at one of the Uwharrie region’s most celebrated properties.
Amenities
Old North State Club backs its event spaces with the world-class facilities and service of a McConnell Golf property. Beyond the celebrated, recently renovated Tom Fazio golf course, the club offers a fitness center, pools with a water slide, tennis, dining, and access to the Badin Lake Marina, making it a memorable setting for a rehearsal weekend or a full lake getaway around the wedding. The manicured golf-course grounds and Badin Lake views give photographers polished, scenic backdrops without any added staging, and the club’s dining program brings genuine quality to receptions. For the entertainment, the enclosed club event spaces give a wedding DJ acoustically controlled rooms to build sound and lighting into, so the reception stays energized and the dance floor stays full within a refined, resort-like setting on the lake.
Location & Getting There

The club’s lakeside, golf-course setting gives the property a private, resort-like feel once you arrive.
