Front 9 is pretty solid, 10-14 are mountain golf and the finishers aren’t bad at all. Btr know where the ball is going here or it’s going to be a long day.

Probably the most beautiful opening hole in all of NC. Course was flush with grass all around. If you ever wanted to play in the mountains, this is a great one

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Boone, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
