Headed to Quail Hollow for the Truist Championship in May? Start plotting your route now. There is no public parking at the club, and on-site parking will not be available on event days. That means off-site general parking and shuttle service will carry most of the load, and organizers are already nudging fans to buy passes in advance and lean on transit or rideshare. Shuttle trips from satellite lots usually run about 10 to 20 minutes, but count on longer waits during the big arrival and departure rushes.
Tournament officials rolled out the full parking and transportation plan this week. General parking passes must be purchased ahead of time, with prices starting at $15 plus fees, and there will be no on-site passes sold, according to Queen City News.
Where To Park And How Long The Shuttles Take
Designated satellite lots are color coded to keep the chaos in check. Ballantyne Corporate Place is the "black" lot and Hedgemore Plaza is the "green" lot, both offering shuttle service Thursday through Sunday. SouthPark Mall’s "purple" lot runs Wednesday through Sunday. Shuttle rides from these off-site lots generally take about 10 to 20 minutes to reach the main spectator terminal at Quail Hollow. For a day-by-day breakdown of which lots operate on which days, fans can check local guides and coverage from WSOC-TV.
Transit, Shuttles And Bike Parking
Those looking to skip the parking shuffle can ride the CATS LYNX Blue Line to Sharon Road West station and transfer to spectator buses that run directly to the tournament entrance. The transit agency has used this setup for recent Quail Hollow events and is urging riders to build the extra transfer time into their plans.
A complimentary shuttle will also operate from the Charlotte Convention Center throughout the day, giving uptown visitors a straightforward option. For pedal-power diehards, organizers say free bike parking will be available just across from the main entrance. Rideshare pickup and drop-off will be staged on Gleneagles Road.
Parking inventory is limited, and passes are being sold through official ticketing partners and marketplaces, so buying early is key. Fans can use the event’s parking portal or third-party platforms such as SeatGeek.
Local Tips And Parting Advice
Locals who have done the Quail Hollow shuffle before recommend arriving early to stay ahead of shuttle lines and avoiding nearby neighborhood streets, which are actively patrolled and can be subject to towing during tournament week. Rideshare remains a solid move, but be ready for a crowd and slower pickups when play wraps for the day.
For the most current schedules and any last-minute changes, fans are encouraged to monitor transit updates and the tournament’s ticketing pages. The PGA TOUR lists the main event as running Thursday through Sunday, May 7 to 10, 2026, with practice-day activity starting earlier in the week, per ESPN.
