Mimosa Hills Course





Mimosa Hills, etched into the rolling landscape near Morganton, NC, embodies classic Carolina golf hospitality while remaining refreshingly unpretentious. This parkland-style course, sculpted from gently undulating terrain, presents a fair test for all skill levels without demanding heroic carries or tricked-up greens. Designed by Donald Ross's protégé, John LaFoy, Mimosa Hills recalls a bygone era where thoughtful strategy outweighed sheer power. While not nationally recognized, the course, located in the rolling foothills of western North Carolina, remains a beloved gathering place for its membership, a laid back group who enjoy the game for what it is. The club’s relaxed atmosphere extends from the first tee to the nineteenth hole, where stories are shared and rivalries renewed over plates of their famous fried chicken, a Thursday night tradition rivaled only by Sunday brunch. It is a spot where a bad round is quickly forgotten, and the genuine camaraderie is always in good taste.

Most visitors arrive via Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), roughly an hour and a quarter northwest into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The drive traces Interstate 40 as it climbs steadily from the Piedmont plateau, the landscape shifting from suburban sprawl to rolling farmland and eventually the first ridges of Appalachia rising in the distance. Morganton itself sits tucked against the eastern escarpment, and Mimosa Hills occupies a serene perch above the Catawba River valley - a destination that feels worlds removed from the city, yet remains comfortably within reach of Carolina's primary gateway.

A pure Ross that returns to the clubhouse at 3, 5, 9, and 12. Back 9 plays on a Ridge and offers great views. Notable volcano bunkers on 5th hole. 17 is a devilish short par 3. Good downhill finishing hole.
