If your golf trip starts in the Philadelphia area and ends in Myrtle Beach, Belmont Lake Golf Club
is an easy way to break up the drive with a real round instead of just another highway stop.
Located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Belmont Lake is approximately 4 miles and about 5 minutes
from I-95 Exit 138, making it a practical stop for golfers heading south.
A smart stop on the way south
For many golf groups, the drive to Myrtle Beach is part of the trip, but that does not mean every
stop has to be ordinary. Belmont Lake gives traveling golfers a chance to step off I-95, play an
18-hole championship course, grab a meal, and get back on the road without a major detour.

A route built around iconic golf
This road trip route is not just about getting from point A to point B. It starts at Aronimink Golf Club
in Newtown Square, the historic venue that will host the 2026 PGA Championship and welcome one of golf’s
four major championships back to the Philadelphia area. From there, it drops you into Belmont Lake Golf
Club for a convenient I-95 stop in Rocky Mount before finishing at Barefoot Resort & Golf, a
multi-course destination in North Myrtle Beach with four designs by Greg Norman, Davis Love III, Tom
Fazio and Pete Dye.
That combination makes this drive especially appealing for serious golfers: you begin at a future major
championship site, break up the trip with a strategic 18-hole layout at Belmont Lake, and end at one of
Myrtle Beach’s most recognized resort properties.
The club is located at 201 Belmont Club Way in Rocky Mount, NC, and its location just minutes off
I-95 makes it especially convenient for buddy trips, overnight travel breaks, and long golf
weekends headed toward the South Carolina coast.
Why golfers stop at Belmont Lake

that the club converted to in 2017. On leading golf platforms such as 18Birdies, more than
200 golfers have combined to rate Belmont Lake around 4.6 out of 5 stars, a noticeably stronger

Traveling players also get more than just the course. Belmont offers practice facilities including
a driving range, putting green, and chipping green, along with a golf shop and on-site dining at
Tavern 19.
Built for golf groups
A stop at Belmont works well for buddy trips because it fits the rhythm of a golf travel day. Your
group can tee it up, settle in with food and drinks after the round, and continue toward Myrtle
Beach with the hardest part of the drive already behind you.
Reviews on major golf platforms regularly describe Belmont Lake as a course in strong condition,
with especially positive remarks about the greens, layout, and overall value. That combination
matters for traveling golfers who want the stop to feel like part of the trip, not just a place to
kill time.
