Golf in Sanford

Sanford is the county seat of Lee County, in the central NC Piedmont south of the Triangle. The city is on the Deep River in the piedmont terrain between Wake County and Moore County, positioned at the transition between the Piedmont and the Sandhills corridor. Sanford has historically been associated with brick manufacturing, which utilized the deep clay deposits of Lee County, and the Sanford area's unique Tobacco Road Golf Club built on a former open-pit mine site reflects the county's industrial heritage. Lee County's position between the Triangle and the Sandhills gives Sanford a gateway character between two distinct regional landscapes.
