We invite you to experience golf the way it was meant to be played at our championship course. Designed by Donald Ross in 1928, and reconstructed by Richard Mandell in 2016, its bent grass greens and fairways give way to stunning views of downtown Asheville and the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. This vertical track proves a formidable test with several uphill and downhill shots for golfers of all abilities to master. Sharpen your skills at the practice area featuring both putting and chipping greens as well as a 25-tee driving range. Members take advantage of our active golf calendar of club-sponsored events and tournaments throughout the year. To improve your game beyond repetition of play, our talented golf professionals are here to help. Hosting camps and clinics throughout the year, in addition to group or private instruction, their expertise can cure just about any ail and ultimately take a few strokes off your final score. The club's SkyTrak indoor golf simulator is both an excellent teaching tool and great for competitive entertainment when golfers can't be on the course. For equipment and apparel, our fully-stocked golf shop has everything you need to play your best game in comfort and style.
The History of Asheville
Before European settlement, Asheville was part of the Cherokee Nation. Bearing the name Untokiasdiyi, meaning “Where they race,” the Cherokee people used the area as a gathering place.
Settlement didn’t occur until after the Revolutionary War, in 1784, when Colonel Samuel Davidson and his family arrived, claiming land through a soldier’s grant. The settlement, initially named “Morristown,” was later renamed Asheville in honor of North Carolina Governor Samuel Ashe.
Asheville became an important outpost in the Blue Ridge Mountains, attracting famous travelers like Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. The city flourished during the railway boom into the 1920s but faced a significant setback during the stock market crash of 1929. However, thanks to a committed urban renewal plan and efforts to maintain the city’s charm, Asheville transformed into the vibrant culture hub it is today.
