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.

Great condition

The course was in great condition. I played by myself and the members or other players were most gracious in letting me play through them. One threesome and 3foursomes allowed me to play through. I played the round in about 2 & 1/2 hours. I highly recommend it"...........Bob Hege

Boone Golf Club 4-24-14

This is one of my favorite courses to play so anytime I'm in the area I try to play. That being said I used GOLFNOW.com and got a great deal for 18 holes for $20. Can't beat that. The only reason I scored the course conditions as 4 stars was b/c the greens were recently punched. But to be honest they still rolled true. In a week or so they will be pristine. Other than that if your an avid golfer you need to play this course. It's worth what they charge but if you can get it for cheaper than your stealing.

Real nice course

Great course. Mowed stripped fairways, greens are healing nicely after being plugged and sanded. Generous rough, wide fairways but still a challenging course. It's the best in the area during the spring, summer and fall. You can't go wrong playing Boone GC.

Always a pleasure to play

Played 18 holes with my son on a cool and breezy day. Despite the conditions, we had a great time and the course was in very good shape considering it was just April in the high country. We always enjoy playing the Boone course -- challenging, but not imposing and beautiful. Highly recommended.

Nice layout and overall good shape

Should've put the big A on golf now for aerification, greens were covered with dirt and holes and not really rolled well. Also left all the little dirt plugs near greens, how ugly. Any price over $20 at this time I would not play, fairway grass is a bit high - hard to figure out where rough is.

Nice course with treacherous greens

Course is well maintained, with some challenging shots. The greens are undulating, and are difficult to putt if the ball is not below the hole. Hole #6 is a gem of a par 5 with water in front of the green, and a steeply pitched green. Staff were great, conditions were great, and the pace of play was quite good.

Great vacation Course

Very enjoyable. Not too difficult from white tees. Mounded undulated greens make it more challenging than it would be otherwise. Great views. In great shape. Greens roll true. Will go back soon!

Interesting layout. real flat for a course in the mtns. alot of walkers.

noticed a lot of walkers. I had a hard time with my tempo. played w/2 walkers. 2 walkers and 1 rider ahead of us and 2 riders behind us. greens were fast and true. on back nine 2 tee boxes and 1 green were all within talking range of each other. a lot of lay up shots-creeks and small ponds. greens had a lot of undulations.

Great value, terrible weather

With all the rain the area has had the course was in excellent shape. Constant mist fell throughout the round but otherwise great day on the course.
