HOW IT WORKS

Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.

03

Sightsee between strokes

Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.

THE CHARLOTTE ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Bank of America Stadium

Bank of America Stadium is an American football venue located in the Uptown section of Charlotte, North Carolina. Designed by the architect Populous, the stadium is a major hub for professional sports in the city. It functions as the headquarters and home facility for two different teams: the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League and Charlotte FC of Major League Soccer. The venue first opened its doors in 1996 as Ericsson Stadium, but the naming rights were purchased by Bank of America in 2004. That agreement was valued at $140 million and spanned 20-25 years. Whether you are there for the game or just passing through the neighborhood, the scale of the place is hard to miss. I've seen plenty of crowds from the air, and this one is always a sight.

Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts & Culture

The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts & Culture is an African-American museum and nonprofit organization in Charlotte. It began in 1975 and was formerly known as the Afro-American Cultural Center. The building is named for Harvey Gantt and spans 46,500 sq ft across its four stories. When you visit, you can see the architecture of the facility, which was designed by Freelon Group Architects. It was dedicated in October 2009 after being built at a cost of $18.6 million. I think the scale of the place makes it a great spot to spend an afternoon, and the building itself is quite a sight to see from the street. It is a significant part of the city's layout that you can easily pick out as you move through the downtown area.

NASCAR Hall of Fame

I can show you to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, located in Charlotte, North Carolina. This building is a hall of fame that opened its doors on May 11, 2010. While many people associate the sport only with the cars, this place enshrines a wide variety of figures from the history of NASCAR. You can pick out the contributions of drivers, but the exhibits also recognize the essential work of crew-chiefs, owners, broadcasters and front-office personnel. The structure itself was designed by the architects at Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. It is a great spot to see how many different roles it takes to make a race happen. I think you will find the range of people honored here quite surprising once you step inside the galleries.

Bechtler Museum Of Modern Art

You aren't looking at a traditional archive of ancient relics here. Instead, let me show you the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, this art museum focuses on the exhibition of mid-20th-century modern art. It is part of the Levine Center for the Arts in Uptown Charlotte and had its inception in 2010. While the art inside is the main draw, the structure is equally noteworthy since the museum building was designed by architect Mario Botta. With 36,500 square feet of space, there is plenty of room to wander through the galleries. I've noticed the building's shape makes it one of the most recognizable spots in the neighborhood.

Discovery Place

The Charlotte Observer IMAX Dome Theater is the largest IMAX Dome Theater in the Carolinas. This massive screen is a centerpiece of Discovery Place Science, a science and technology museum located in Uptown, Charlotte, North Carolina. As a nonprofit organization, the museum provides a space where visitors can engage with various exhibits and cinematic experiences. I have noticed the crowds here are always energetic, which makes sense given the scale of the theater. Whether you are interested in the latest tech or just want to experience a film on a giant dome, it is a landmark of the city's Uptown district. It is the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time while exploring the various displays and the unique theater environment.

Levine Museum of the New South

Founded in 1991 as the Museum of the New South, this history museum is located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Since its early years, the institution has evolved, including a name change in 2001. It is now the Levine Museum of the New South, named after Leon Levine. Leon Levine is a museum patron and the founder of Family Dollar. As a nonprofit organization, the museum focuses on the history of the region. I've noticed the crowds often gather around the newer exhibits, but the core mission remains the same. You can pick out the shift in the city's identity just by walking through the galleries here. It is a great spot to spend an afternoon if you want to understand how this particular part of the country changed over the years.

Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center

Located in Charlotte, the Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center is an architectural structure designed by César Pelli. It had its inception in 1992. You can find the theater within Blumenthal Arts, which is a not-for-profit, multi-venue performing arts complex that opened in November 1992. This organization manages a variety of spaces throughout the city, including 4 theaters on 2 campuses. They also operate an immersive event space in Uptown Charlotte. It is the kind of place where you can see the city's commitment to the arts in a single building. I've noticed the area stays quite lively whenever a show is letting out, with crowds filling the sidewalks. It's a great spot to watch the evening energy of the city build up as people arrive for a performance.

Fourth Ward Park

Located at 301 North Poplar Street in the Fourth Ward of Charlotte, North Carolina, this spot is a three-acre urban park. It offers a bit of breathing room in the city with walking trails and decorative water fountains for you to admire. Families usually head toward the children's playground, which is equipped with swings and slides. If you happen to have a four-legged friend with you, you will be glad to know that Fourth Ward Park has a dog-friendly policy. It is a versatile space where you can either find a moment of peace by the water or watch the local kids play. Whether you are visiting for the first time or just passing through the neighborhood, there is plenty here to keep you occupied in the heart of the city.

Truist Field

Truist Field is located in the Uptown area of Charlotte, North Carolina. It is the third sports building constructed in this part of the city, following the earlier construction of Bank of America Stadium and Spectrum Center. This sports venue was started in 2014 and serves as the home for the Charlotte Knights. If you follow the team, you can pick out the Knights as a Triple-A Minor League Baseball team in the International League. I've noticed the energy here is always high when the game is on. It is a great spot to see how the city has expanded its athletic footprint right in the center of town, making the area a hub for fans of different sports. It is a welcoming place for any visitor to experience the local game day atmosphere.

STOP 10

Frazier Park

You will first notice the wide open spaces of Frazier Park, a 16.5-acre urban park located at 1201 West 4th Street Ext in the Third Ward of Charlotte. It is a hub for activity, featuring fields for soccer and American football as well as courts for tennis and basketball. If you prefer a slower pace, I can show you the creek-side trails, the dog park, or the playground for small children. A portion of the Irwin Creek Greenway also runs through the park. This greenway is made of paved and gravel paths, making it a great spot for a stroll. I've seen plenty of folks enjoying the outdoors here, and it's a great place to stretch your legs while you're visiting the city.
