It’s Truist Championship week. I walked the Quail Hollow greens earlier this week to scout the local food, drink and merch options. Here’s what to know if you go.
Food and bev: Provisions are scattered all throughout the course, but there are few stops with a delightful selection of local options.
South End Fan Zone (between the 10th green and 13th fairway)
- Two Scoops
- Noble Smoke
- Sabor
Green Mile Courtyard (between the 16th and 18th fairways)
- Inizio
- Fever-Tree Cocktail Clubhouse (not local, but solid cocktail list)
- The Cowfish
Bonus: Charlotte’s very own Gleezy is the “Official Dog” of this weekend’s Truist Championship!
- They’re sold at refreshment tents scattered all around Quail.
Local merch: In a sea of Peter Millar, local favs 704 Shop and Girl Tribe both have collaborations, exclusively designed for the tournament.
- Expect an array of T-shirts and hats.
- I normally find the cut of women’s T-shirts to be offensive, but Girl Tribe nailed the perfect boxy tee.
Bonus activation: Supergoop! has a tent in The Park Fan Zone.
- They’re giving away samples of sunscreen (including Unseen Sunscreen) and have plenty for purchase.
- A smart play on their part!
