Probably the nicest public course in the North Carolina mountains. Beautifully maintained fairway grass. Scenic. Mostly flat, in the S. Toe River valley, with the Black Mountain range and Mt. Mitchell in the background. Some private residential subdivisions around the course do not intrude unattractively. Not a terribly difficult course if you hit it straight. If you don't, you'll be in for a tough day. Holes 12, 13 and 14, a par 5 five followed by two long, tough par 4's, the last one crossed by the S. Toe River, are a real challenge. Greens moderate speed. Carts required during busy weekend periods and carts must be kept on cart paths at all times. Pull carts (trolleys) not permitted. Play can be fairly slow when course is crowded on the weekends. Low key, friendly owners and staff. Green fees top out in the high $70 range (2003-2004). |
