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.

Don’t let pat 64 fool you

Par 64.... thinking this should be a breeze! Mountain golf puts a whole new spin (pun intended) on the game. Course is really lovely and interesting. Greens are a bit tough to figure out.

Executive course that plays like a full sized course

This was a very fun round. The staff was great and the course was in fantastic shape. Doglegs, elevation changes and undulating greens make this executive course play like a championship course. Don’t let 9 par 3’s fool you. These are tough par 3’s. This is my new favorite course in the Boone area.

Great course!

Course is awesome! The greens are fast so don’t kill it. The course layout is really nice but pay attention. The course address is NOT the one listed. The actual address is:

1054 Sugar Mountain Dr.

Sugar Mountain, NC 28604

I would recommend this course to anyone visiting!
