The 18-hole Donald Ross design is a tree-lined course on a compact property without dramatic landforms, and most of its par 4s and par 5s bend or are blind from the tee. The greens are undulating and fast rather than crowned. Bob Cupp rebuilt the course from Ross's plans in 1999, and the greens and bunkers were restored again in 2020, when new tees were added. Alamance has hosted a number of prestigious golf events, including The North Carolina State Amateur Championship, CGA Mid-Amateur Championship, NAIA National Championship (1982), Carolinas/Virginia Team Masters and U.S. Open Qualifying on many occasions.
 
The Coach: Matt Moot is in his second season as head coach at his alma mater. He collected his first collegiate coaching victory in his seventh team event – the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate (Mar. 9-10, 2026) and followed that with a first-place finish at the Cutter Creek Intercollegiate (Mar. 27-29).  During his time as an assistant or associate on the Camel staff, Moot helped lead Campbell to five NCAA post-season trips, 12 tournament titles and three conference crowns.  Moot helped develop the 2017, 2019 (Jesper Svensson), 2018 (Ray Kraivixien) and 2021 (Pontus Nyholm) Big South Conference golfers of the year as well as four-straight league rookies of the year in Henric Bjelke (2022), Tim Holmberg (2023), Erik Johansson (CAA 2024) and Benjamin Killingstad (CAA 2025).  During his playing career (2007-11) at Campbell, Moot compiled 11 top-10 individual finishes and was a two-time Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar.  He competed in the 2009 and 2011 NCAA regionals.
