GEM

Leave your driver at home. This short course doesnt require a driver even on the one par five. At 4400 yards from back tees, 9 par 3s, 1 par 5 and 8 par fours this course is extremely fun. Fast greens, good fairways just adds to the challenge. This is truly one of the most scenic courses in N.C. The altitude helps with heat and adds distance to your shots. Don't be fooled though, some of par threes are 200 yard range and require well placed and struck shots. My advice is to NOT be in any hurry as a course of this length brings out the old folks. I reccomend this course 100 percent as the fun and views are outstanding. Course in great shape tee to green.

Short course

Fun short course in very good condition fairways and greens. Pace slow. A lot of walkers at times and a lot of seniors at times so don’t be in a hurry

Some nice altitude changes and no real long fairways and only one par 5 so great to practice your short game.

Break on rates after 2.

Beyond impressed

This course is probably one of my favorite ones I have played. Even with on and off rain the conditions were excellent. The views were unbelievable. Staff was friendly and the 19th hole provides a great overlook of the course and surrounding mountains. I will be back soon.

just go play it

most impressive par 64 I have ever played. from tee box to green coursed well manicured. greens were quick but true. fairways rolled well. enjoyed so much I played it again and was even more impressed. if you hit the ball shorter but straighter in your older years this course helps improve your par chances particularly on some par 4"s..incredible use of a 60 acre tract. played Boone course 2 days later and this course preferred as conditions and panaramic views.
