Summary
Built for irrigation purposes on the Yadkin River-Tr, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 17.5 feet and a structural height of 19.6 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 77 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 86.2 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 11 acres and spans a length of 243 feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition remains unrated as of the last inspection in May 2019.
Owned by a private entity, the Jonesville Golf Course Dam has been subject to state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. Situated in Yadkin County, this dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes and does not feature any associated locks or outlets. With a maximum discharge capacity and spillway information unavailable, the dam's last inspection in 2019 deemed its hazard potential as low, although the condition assessment remains unspecified.
As one of the many water resource structures in North Carolina, the Jonesville Golf Course Dam plays a vital role in supporting agricultural activities in the region. While its risk assessment, emergency action plan, and inundation maps are not readily available, the dam's compliance with state regulations and its consistent inspection schedule ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the preservation of the Yadkin River-Tr ecosystem.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
