The Historic Resources Commission is soliciting public comments on a proposal to nominate to the National Register of Historic Places the Winston Lake Golf Course, 3535 Winston Lake Road and 2790 New Walkertown Road. Comments will be accepted when the commission considers the nomination during its meeting on Sept. 6 at 4 p.m. in the Bryce A. Stuart Municipal Building at 100 E. First St., in the Arnold G. King Public Meeting Room.
The Winston Lake Golf Course is significant locally in the areas of Black heritage, entertainment and recreation. The facility has played an important role in the recreational, social life and civic life of the city’s African American population from its opening in 1956 to the present. The period of significance begins with the 1956 completion of the first nine holes and ends in 1973.
