Boone Golf Club is one of the area's most popular public courses. It was designed by Ellis Maples, the architect of many of the South's finest courses. Utilizing the dramatic Hill Country landscape, the course is as scenic as it is challenging. From the elevated tees you'll get a view of the surrounding mountains and the winding streams that meander through the golf course. The wide fairways are bordered by colorful wildflowers and the greens have subtle but tricky undulations. The par-5 sixth is one of the most memorable holes on the course. The green is the most challenging element of this hole, not only is it steeply pitched there is also water guarding the front. Boone Golf Club is a challenging but fair layout that golfers of all skill levels enjoy playing.

Crowded/Slow, but excellent venue

Tee boxes & fairways were in great condition. Greens very fast with lots of undulations but were in fantastic shape.

Did not start us at scheduled tee time and only got in 9 holes with so many plsyes out on the course. Agonizingly slow pace of play.

Holds your attention

Scenic course with a nice layout. Greens are extremely challenging. Large, fast and no flat spots. You can easily roll off the green on a 4-foot putt on some greens. Prices are high to nail the summer vacationers, but you can get deals on Golf Now as low as $12. Staff is friendly and helpful but no drink carts so bring your own hydration. Work your way around carefully and you will have a good time.

Beautiful and Challenging course.

This is one of my favorite courses to play in NC. The course is always in great shape. The staff is always friendly and more than willing to help! The layout is challenging, especially from the blue tees. The high country views will more than make up for a poor score!

Beautiful course & Challenging

The Boone course is a beautiful setting. The course lay out is very challenging. Playing in the morning the grass is wet so adds more strokes vs. afternoon when dried out. Also, pin placements can be very challenging...and require vey precise approach shots and putts...easy to 3 putt many holes.

Don't get to disappointed with your score...just enjoy the beauty of the course.

Enjoyable mountain golf

Practice facilities were minimal except for the practice greens which gave you an idea of what was to come on the course.

Greens on the course had many undulations, were fast and hard to read so very challenging.

The fairways and tee boxes were in good shape. Many of the holes were very scenic.

The course was pretty busy but moving at 4.5 Hour pace. It is helpful to have prior playing experience but is overall fun.

Love this course!

Fun afternoon of golf with good friends from Florida. The course was, and usually is, in great condition and the staff is always friendly. The restaurant upstairs is a good place to discuss your good and bad shots. The ambience is kind of plain, but the food is good! Great place to play.

Designed for all level players

Being from Florida I loved the opportunity to play bent grass greens. Fast, smooth and in excellent condition. Fairways can be described the same. 73 and played from the senior tees that were distance fair. A little water and a few sand traps with wide fairways. Played twice while on vacation and really enjoyed the experience. Staff were exceptionally friendly.

public course/country club quality

This course is surprisingly flat for the part of the country in which it is. It is a first rate course, maintained superbly, and run with professional efficiency and courtesy. All aspects of the course-greens, fairways, tees, bunkers - are top notch. We played on a busy Wednesday morning and experienced very little delay
