The course is meh but enjoyable. Downhill par 5 6th is the highlight. Doesn’t have the charm of HCC which is the other track I played up here. The course was in good shape but the staff was unbelievably rude to me as an unaccompanied guest. No need to play this one.

One of the most scenic courses in the country. Super tough course as it’s extremely narrow and ball either lands in the fairway or off the mountain. It is not really set up for long hitters and is a lot of target golf. Layout is interesting as it’s got 5 par 5’s and 5 par 3’s.

Cool course in the mountains of western Carolina. Lots of elevation changes and fun downhill shots at greens. Greens weren’t in the best condition and driving range was a sand pit but good enough for pre round warmup. Hotdog was fine but I’ve had better at other courses.

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 Whittier, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
