about us
COME MEET OUR TEAM
Wesley Jones
Owner, PGA Golf Professional
Wes ran away from the rain in the Pacific Northwest 35 years ago and moved to Hilton Head Island to start his career in golf. There he met his wife, Melissa, and fell in love with the Carolinas. He spent the past 20 years helping raise two daughters and managing public golf courses in Charlotte before moving to Morganton in March of 2020.
Wes gained his class ‘A’ PGA certification in 1993 and finds it hard to believe some of the juniors he worked with are now parents and in their 40’s.
His goal has always been to promote the game of golf and all the great qualities that go with playing.
His Goals at Silver Creek are to provide members and guests an ever-improving high-quality golf course and legendary customer service.
Wes loves talking with people from all walks of life and looks forward to meeting you.

Melissa was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, where she graduated from the University of Kentucky. Prior to moving to Morganton, she and Wes lived in Charlotte, where they raised their two children Emily and Ann. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening and playing golf.
