Winston Lake Golf Course

Butch Wheeler, a longtime golfer at Winston Lake Golf Course, recounts its history as the first all-Black golf course in the area. Tim Grant emphasizes the course's role in fostering fellowship and diversity, being inducted into the National Black Golf Hall of Fame. He says the course is challenging but rewarding. It's also known for its welcoming environment and community spirit, where older and younger players form lasting bonds.

Three Winston-Salem properties were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023. Among them is the city-owned Winston Lake Golf Course, which was built for Black residents in 1956. Prior to its opening, Black golfers were only allowed to access the city’s public course one day a week.
