Badin Lake, NC-- The Old North State Club's golf course again has been voted the number two course in North Carolina by members of the North Carolina Magazine golf panel. The results were announced in the publication's March 2002 issue.

The voting marked the fourth consecutive year that the ONSC course was rated second only to the nationally acclaimed Pinehurst No. 2, the site of this year's U.S. Open Championship. The Old North State Club ranked as the number one private course in North Carolina.

"We are very pleased that our course continues to be honored by this outstanding panel," said Chip Conner, Uwharrie Point's Project Manager. "These are the folks who know North Carolina courses the best, and our high rating is an honor that we cherish."

The highly regarded panel is made up of some 125 top players, writers, golf professionals and business executives in North Carolina.

The Tom Fazio-designed ONSC ranked fifth in the inaugural poll in 1995 but moved to the second spot the following year and has been there ever since.
