Great reviews of the area! I live here and still need to scratch off 4 of these courses of the list. How do I get your job reviewing courses like this? 😂
Would you include mountain glen or Linville land harbor ? Or is that too far from the area?
Could you do this list for the courses you have played near Greenville sc
Might be a stretch, but Sugar Mountain Golf Course is a must visit as well if you’re looking for solid mountain golfing in WNC! Love the list. Cheers!
Maybe not considered Western NC, but Olde Beau in Roaring Gap has beautiful mountain views and provides a tough challenge
My buds and I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. We do a western North Carolina trip every fall and we’ve really been utilizing your videos to evaluate courses. Your “best of WNC” video is invaluable!! Thanks so much!! DH
Dude your videos are excellent. I gotta look at Sequoyah
I am from Florida but we vacation up that way a lot. Was just in Asheville last week and played Reems Creek for the first time. Loved the views, greens are tricky when you don’t know the course. Played Maggie Valley, Mount Mitchell, and Wolf Laurel as a kid back in the 1980’s. Will have to try more of these next time I am up that way.
Thoughts on Linville Land Harbor, Boone Golf Club, Mountain Glenn, and Mountain Aire?
Probably worth mentioning that Mt. Mitchell is CART PATH ONLY no matter what. isnt a bad thing as ive been playing there for years. but could be a turn off for some people.
sequoyah is next level. played it twicw. once it was in perfect shape, next time was awful shape. don't know wht,but good to know it's back. that first hole is something else man
played etowah valley a few years ago. very wet because of tons of rain. excellant service. long hard course tho
Sad to see Mt Mitchell go downhill over the years. Ive lived near it my entire life and in the 90s and early 2000s it was always 4.5 star course in amazing shape. Holes 12-15 still could be one of the hardest stretchs of holes in WNC
Never played Sequoyah or Laurel Ridge but I played all the others when I was playing every week or even twice a week. If you rate with dollar value all these I have Reems Creek at #1, Connestee at #2, Apple Valley at #3. Grove Park is not in my top 15. Mt. Mitchell was puke when I last played it. The workers and people who run it don’t keep it up. Leaves all over the fairways and the grass was full of weeds.
You should get up in the northwestern mountains more. There are a bunch of beautiful course near Boone, Blowing Rock, Jefferson, and Banner Elk. Mountain Glen is a short gem in Newland. Jefferson Landing in Jefferson is lush and in the clouds. Grassy Creek in Spruce Pine is very well manicured and reasonably priced. Too many to list but western North Carolina has by far the most scenic and manicured courses of anywhere in the south.
$60 with a cart is average today. 6/27/23
You really need to add Balsam Mountain Preserve on this list.
Course is private but allows 16 non members a day to play.
The course is an Arnold Palmer design.
The only negative about the place is that a round is $275.00
Give olde Beau in roaring gap a play if you ever have the time I know that’s not western NC but if you like mountain courses that’s a must play in the NC area
Making a road trip from Michigan. Need a course between Knoxville and Augusta. Is sequoia the best choice?
Great work and I'm going to take your advice. We're playing NC in April and I'm going to move our trip to the west and focus on your top 5. The views you provide in the video are convincingly great! Nice swing and driving btw!
Awesome video! I am planning trip and this helps. Have you played Chestnut Mountain Golf Club?
Have you played Mountain Aire in West Jefferson?
THIS… THIS is how reviews should be done. Your takes and thoughts are immensely helpful. 🙏🙏⛳️🏌🏻♂️👍👍
Have you played Trillium in Cashiers NC? Interested in what you think about it.
mt mitchell .for 45 what did you expect.augusta. when i started playing,crabgrass was all you had. just an observation. enjoy your channel
played sequoyah. what a course. played right after it opened and it was pristine.second time it was a goat ranch. but i hear it was from a bad course super. hear its great again. worth every penny
Wow! What a great video!! I'm in the CLT area, retired since 2020 and play golf, 4/5 times a month. I've played both the Lake Lure courses and concur with your assessment of each. I've also played Mt Mithchell and was somewhat disappointed as the day I played, the were recovering from rain the previous 2 days.
I'll look forward to chalking these other courses off my list!
IF you're down toward Shelby in Cleveland County, check out River Bend a great value and a fun course
