The BEST Public Golf Courses in Western North Carolina

[@sequoyahnational]

Resurrecting this account to say it's an honor to top the rankings! Great content all around, Alan. We've been playing the channel on our new big screen inside clubhouse since it's such a great representation of golf in Western NC and region. Thanks for all the support and hope to see everyone this season out on the course!

[@PerfectlyAverageGolf]

Ayy much love friends! And thank YOU for all of the unbelievable memories each time I get out there. Hopefully will get the chance to get out there again soon!

[@RumblingBald]

Apologies for overlooking your review earlier! We truly value your insights and on-course commentary, and we’ve been impressed by the growth of your KZbin channel-keep up the great work! We’re honored to have both Apple Valley and Bald Mountain featured in your video and appreciate the added exposure. We’re proud of what we offer and hope everyone gets the chance to visit us soon. We’d love to see you back to enjoy playing both courses again!

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

Noted! I'll see if I can get out there next season!

[@pwoeckener]

Yeah, Olde Beau has some of the most fantastic views anywhere and always in fantastic shape. Was a decent value as well. The view from the 14th tee box overlooking the 15th green to the mountains and valley beyond is a view that is unmatched even at Sequoyah.

Probably the best/most comprehensive list of its kind on KZbin, very professionally done. Sequoyah was far and away my #1 Public course until I played Harbour Town last week. Keep up the great vids, and next time you get to head down to NE Georgia, we’ll have to tee it up sometime

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.

I actually have back when it was called High Vista before the rebrand. Have not played it since their "remodel" but I haven't heard anyhting particularly great about it since their revamp. I'd consider it more of a risk than anything else. Would definitely suggest going with one of the tried-and-true courses in the T5 here if you're looking for spots!

[@drbgt3]

@PerfectlyAverageGolf thanks for the reply. Seems like a lot of the nicer courses are upwards of an hour away from Asheville. Since I am staying in Asheville, I need to figure out if it's worth the drive...

[@PerfectlyAverageGolf]

@@drbgt3 Yeah if you're restricting yourself to JUST Asheville I'd do Reems Creek and Omni (even though its pricey). If you're willing to drive just a touch I'd add Laurel Ridge and Maggie Valley.

Definitely enjoyed Sequoyah and Maggie Valley when we played it a few years ago. Need to make a trip back to that area.

Great video and you’ve given me a few new options for my yearly October trip.

[@PerfectlyAverageGolf]

Ah tough to hear that Mt Mitchell's crabgrass problem wasn't a seasonal specific issue, the course really set in a gorgeous area.

It doesn't drain particularly well I think but I've gotten out there 3 times now and I've loved every round I've played there

[@pwoeckener]

Black Mountain should be on your list, if for nothing else then the par 6 on the back nine. I didn’t know if you were keeping it strictly to NC courses, but Furman and Woodfin Ridge are both within an hour of Asheville and are must plays if you don’t mind crossing the state line into SC.

[@PerfectlyAverageGolf]

These are all good shouts. Black Mountain I should have done a honorable mention for, it's kind of a pitch and putt course but it's a great value

[@paulgillespy7832]

[@andylaws7229]

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

[@PerfectlyAverageGolf]

Some guys who work on the course said they've got a new heads groundskeeper and they are working hard to bring those fairways back to prime condition

[@malcolmwoody8921]

@@PerfectlyAverageGolf I moved away from the area some years ago, and when I returned to play the course at Mount Mitchell, i couldn't believe it. In the 80's, this course was absolutely pristine. That said, I am confident the new ownership team are headed in the right direction. I was surprised Etowah was not on the list and further north Mountain Glen and Grassy Creek can be a lot fun, too.

[@PerfectlyAverageGolf]

Mountain Glen and Grassy Creek were too far out of the range unfortunately and if you think Mt Mitchell went down hill you don't even want to see Etowah, place is in AWFUL shape and the staff is so unfriendly

[@malcolmwoody8921]

@@PerfectlyAverageGolf Man, I hate to hear that about Etowah. They used to host the first round of our conference HS golf tournament my JR/SR years. Second round was at Black Mountain (we won't talk about that). I just recall Etowah being a superb test. If I recall like 7-8 of the original 18 had par 4's over 400 yards, and from the tips, the yardage was pushing 7,000 ---- an unheard-of total in WNC in 1984. Long ago there was a golf card that was available (put out by The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, I believe) that had a lot of great WNC courses. I recall Waynesville CC, Laurel Ridge, Connestee Falls, Reems Creek, Mount Mitchell, Grassy Creek, Maggie Valley, Crooked Creek, Etowah, the old Hilton course, Grove Park, Cummings Cove, Mountain Aire, Springdale, Cleghorn, Black Mountain, Sapphire, and a few others I've probably forgot... but back in the day, our golf group bought the card instead of joining a club just to get the variety. It was a fabulous deal, and some of the courses offered more than 1 round.

[@oldmcdonald3376]

played etowah valley a few years ago. very wet because of tons of rain. excellant service. long hard course tho

[@PerfectlyAverageGolf]

I always tell people to stay away from that course. It's also in terrible shape and the prices are ridiculous compared to the conditions. It was the closest course to where I was living before I moved to Charlotte and I hated how much I still had to go there because nothing else was close

[@DanWessonSpecialist]

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.

[@PerfectlyAverageGolf]

Good shouts, since moving to CLT I don't have as much easy access but I'll add them all to my list for when I'm in that area again! Also, def go play Sequoyah or Laurel, they are both unreal

[@JohnPublic-dk7zd]

Grew up in the area, our high school team used High Hampton as our home course...now I'm moved away, get up there to visit family, and recently have been playing Sequoyah, Maggie Valley, Waynesville CC, with rare visits to Hayesville (cannot recall the course name), Franklin (another course name I can't remember), Springdale, and good old Lake Junaluska (it was better as a 9 hole layout)...the terrain will always limit options, and quite frankly, too many holes on too many of these courses are borderline ridiculous, nearly unplayable...for scenery, the entire area is great, for golf, it is marginal, and that includes Sequoyah...

It's not worth playing anymore...
