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.
