Opened in 1922, Benvenue Country Club in Rocky Mount boasts an original Donald Ross course. Many of his designs demand strong iron play and accurate tee shots, and this course is no different. Small, fast greens are the course's signature feature. Undulating breaks make them difficult to read at times. The layout starts with a relatively open front nine where bunkered greens are the most prominent challenges. The back nine is longer and there are more trees and penalty ditches. The 16th hole is one of the most challenging on the golf course with a plateau green that sits four feet above the fairway and flanked with bunkers. The title of most difficult hole though, goes to Benvenue Country Club's fourth hole. There are out-of-bounds along the entire right side of the fairway on this hole and the narrow opening to the green is tightly bordered by three bunkers.

Reader Ratings / Reviews
- This is a great club course. Great conditioning, typical Ross layout with all bunkering restored, trees managed to allow good vistas and views of the course. Eminently walkable, memorable holes which require all clubs and shots. Green complexes are very challenging and due to rather small greens, this course plays longer than it’s yardage. Truly a Pinehurst feel. Also superb club house, pro shop and other club facilities Typical of Donald Ross a wonderful mix of varied par threes, short and long par fours and interesting three shoters. Routing is excellent and terrain rolling and reminiscent of pine needles or pinehurst #2. Well worth a visit
