Overview of Mooresville, NC

"Is Mooresville NC a good place to live?" Mooresville is a fast-growing lakeside town about 30 miles north of Charlotte, often called “Race City USA” for its deep ties to NASCAR and motorsports. With a population around 52,000, it balances small-town charm with access to big-city amenities. Life here centers around Lake Norman, where boating, fishing, and waterfront dining are part of everyday life. Families are drawn to top-rated schools, safe neighborhoods, and plenty of parks and trails.

Golf & Clubs: Green Grass and Gasoline Dreams

Trump National Golf Club Charlotte: Private and luxurious. 18-hole championship course designed by Greg Norman right along Lake Norman’s waterfront. Full-service marina, clay tennis courts, fitness center, and The Tavern restaurant with lakeside dining. Big events happen here too, such as PGA Junior tournaments, charity galas, and weddings almost every weekend in season.

Mooresville Golf Club: Town-owned but built to high standards. A full 18-hole public course, redesigned by Kris Spence, the guy known for restoring PGA-level tracks. Affordable memberships. Brand-new two-story clubhouse with locker rooms, indoor golf simulator, bar, and grill. Locals love it for early tee times before work, Sunday rounds with friends, or hitting balls on the full driving range.

Mallard Head Country Club: Semi-private and totally laid-back. Memberships are usually under $2,000/year. No dress code snobs here, shorts and polos welcome. The 18-hole course runs right next to Lake Norman. Holes 14–16 especially get you up close to the water. Light breezes, open fairways, and a neighborly vibe where regulars know each other by name.

Lake Norman Yacht Club: Tucked on the south end of Lake Norman in Mooresville, the Lake Norman Yacht Club hosts year-round regattas, weekly sailing races, and sailing classes for all ages. Open to sailboats only (no motors allowed), it's one of the most respected sailing clubs in the Carolinas. Members get private lakefront access, boat slips, and a full calendar of social events like Sunset Sails, Oktoberfest on the Docks, and Holiday Boat Parades. If you want to crew or race, just show up on Wednesday nights and they'll help you find a boat that needs an extra hand.

GoPro Motorplex: Outdoor karting on a 0.7-mile, 11-turn professional track modeled after Italy’s famous Kartodromo Parma. Public arrive-and-drive sessions are open almost every day. Helmets, suits, gloves provided. Karts reach 55 mph, serious enough that NASCAR and IndyCar drivers like Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson, and Chase Elliott come here to train. They also host league nights, national championships, and open rental tournaments for anyone who wants to race like a pro.
