Nature’s Canvas: Tobacco Road
Nature’s Canvas: Tobacco Road

Martha Hudson was on her way out early one October evening from her job on the golf staff at Tobacco Road Golf Club in Sanford. But as she left the golf shop constructed in the log-cabin motif with the red metal roof and wound her way through the trees fronting the building and along the one road in and out of the property, she noticed the sun casting a fetching glow to the west. Programmed as she is now some six years into running the North Carolina Sandhills course’s social media platforms, she stopped her car, got out, jumped in a golf cart and hustled to the holes on the western edge of the property.

“Just following the sun,” she says.
She found a spot on the par-three 17th hole just beyond the left side of the wide and shallow green, looking back toward the southwest and the twilight gloam. She snapped an image with a mixture of blue sky, golden tinted clouds, three shades of green denoting different mowing patterns, sand and shadows on the course that opened in 1998 out of the fertile mind of architect Mike Strantz. She posted the photo on Instagram for the account’s more than 26,000 followers to view, not to mention others who would see the photo as it hopscotches across cyber-land via “tags,” “likes” and “shares.”
“So, so good,” came one reply.
“Phenomenal place,” came another.
“Dreamy, I’ll get there one day,” yet another viewer responded.
![TRGC Hole 1](https://homeofgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Hole-1.png)
Hudson considers the iPhone in her hand and the volume of images she’s collected.
“I hate to think how many pictures are on my phone now,” says Hudson, whose title at Tobacco Road is Director of Brand Marketing and Retail. “I am by no means a trained photographer. Point and shoot is as extensive as I get. I understand the basic concepts. The iPhone makes it so much easier because of the quality of the camera.
“For me, it’s capturing all of what makes this golf course so unique. The features, the green shapes, the undulations, the light at different times of day and different seasons. I wasn’t here when the course was built, but the guys who where talk about how Mike saw everything as art. That artwork has matured over 20 years. That’s what I try to capture.”
![TRGC Hole 17](https://homeofgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Hole-17.jpg)
Tobacco Road is one of the Home of American Golf area’s most distinctive golf courses. It’s appropriate then that the club has one of the most cutting-edge social media presences. It can hardly rival the reach of Pinehurst Resort & Country Club with its 68.2k Instagram followers and a worldwide presence via more than a century of existence and its position as a U.S. Open “anchor site,” but Tobacco Road dwarfs every other golf venue in the area in how it cuts a wide swath on Instagram, the medium of choice for millennial and Generation Z golfers looking for eye candy and interaction with their fellows.
![TRGC Hole 13](https://homeofgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Hole-13.png)
Hudson, a former collegiate golfer at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) and an English major, melds her love of golf — “the Game,” as she refers to it online — a one-of-a-kind golf course, her vocabulary and her camera into an eclectic mix of images and pithy descriptions.
“I have a concentration in creative writing, so the storytelling aspect of doing the marketing at such a unique place is fulfilling on a creative level for me,” she says. “Tobacco Road is truly a special place, and people are re-living experiences digitally, whether it’s going through their own photos or Instagram or whatever social media platforms they’re on. You get their attention, and then they’ll dig into whatever story you want to tell. A lot of golf courses never take advantage of the opportunity. It’s free. All it takes is effort, a little time and some creativity.”
![TRGC Hole 14](https://homeofgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Hole-14.png)
A mid-1990s golf trip to Myrtle Beach by two Sanford friends and businessmen sparked the idea for Tobacco Road. Mark Stewart was president of Lee Concrete Company, and Tony Woodell was vice president of construction, and their company owned more than 200 acres of old rock and sand quarries and tobacco and soybean farm just off 15-501 south of Sanford. The proliferation of courses in the 1990s golf boom prompted them to wonder if a daily-fee course located between the population dense Triangle area and the international golf mecca of the Sandhills might work. They investigated the concept more and were led to Strantz, a former Tom Fazio protégé who had recently completed excellent work at Caledonia and True Blue near Pawleys Island, S.C.
![TRGC Hole 2](https://homeofgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Hole-2.png)
Strantz bequeathed the mid-Atlantic region with a half dozen dynamic new golf courses before his death from cancer in 2005, and his firm was named Maverick Golf Design for excellent reasons. The architect worked on one course at a time and set up living quarters at the new venue. He stood 6-foot-5 and sported shoulder length hair and a mustache. He rode a horse around the property and made intricate sketches of every hole, then turned the drawings over to his shapers. He would be covered in dirt after working the equipment all day or in paint after marking the lines of the various layers of the course — fairways, fescue rough, love grass, areas to be left in their natural sandy state. The club’s logo is comprised of a deer skull that Strantz found while building the course.
![TRGC Hole 16](https://homeofgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Hole-16.png)
“I remember his passion most of all,” says Joe Gay, the club’s original director of golf who retired in 2015. “He was so enthusiastic about everything. He was excited all the time. We feel blessed Mike provided us with this golf course before he passed away.”
Today the course is ranked No. 49 on Golf Digest’s list of America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses and No. 35 on GOLF magazine’s Top 100 Courses You Can Play. The course closed for two months in the summer of 2014 to convert its greens to MiniVerde Bermuda.
“It is so visually stunning and the images just get seared in your mind at certain places, and it just makes you want more,” Hudson says. “You want to understand more of the golf course and why Mike did that or maybe how you could have played it differently.”
![TRGC Hole 6](https://homeofgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Hole-6.png)
Hudson grew up in Black Mountain, just east of Asheville, and played golf in high school in the early 2000s and moved on to UAB. She worked at a daily fee course in Birmingham before being hired at Tobacco Road in January 2015. Gay retired later that year, Chris Brown moved up from head professional to director of golf, and Hudson was given more responsibilities, including managing the social media platforms. The course’s Instagram account had under 500 followers at the time.
“Martha has done a great job,” Brown says. “Some people are good with the photos, some with the words. She’s skilled at both. Add to that the fact that everybody has a mobile TV studio in their back pocket. The younger audiences are coming through the door, the guys attracted by Bar Stool and places like that. People get information today through so many different sources. I’m 53. I don’t have to understand it or always agree with it, but I know it works.”
![TRGC Hole 12](https://homeofgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Hole-12.png)
Hudson works the skies, shadows and seasons with dexterity. Showcased at various times, for example, are the mottled grasses and dramatic hillocks around the blind-shot 13th green; the mammoth mounds bordering the pathway of the tee shot on the first hole; the weathered railroad ties up to the ninth tee or others providing access to bunkers around the course. There are misty mornings and full moons at dusk, the ecrus of dormant grass in the winter.
![TRGC Hole 11](https://homeofgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Hole-11.png)
One image resplendent in shadows, colors and angles is accompanied by the text:
“The land waited …
“For discovery,
“For cultivation,
“For purpose
“For an artist.”
Tobacco Road certainly found its artist in Mike Strantz. Now it has Martha Hudson to keep the flame.
Chapel Hill based writer Lee Pace has written about golf in the Sandhills since the late 1980s and has authored a dozen books about clubs, courses and the people who’ve made it special over more than a century.
