GOLF
The character of the Tryon Country Club is determined by the nature of individual behavior on the golf course, at the pool, in social events, on committees and in meetings. Each of us plays a part in setting the tone and character of the club. We would like to have Tryon Country Club recognized as the “Friendliest country club in the South!” Each of us conducting ourselves within these guidelines will make Tryon Country Club “user friendly.”
