Asheville Golf Vacation Packages

The mountains around Asheville with their scenic beauty and pleasant climate year-round provide a magnificent setting for a game of golf at one of the area's many public and private golf courses and country clubs. But the primary attractions to mountain golf are lush fairways, sprawling bent grass greens, cool breezes and a gently undulating terrain.

The Asheville region boasts over twenty championship golf courses that offer challenging mountain golf packaged with lodging and dining. In addition, there are over forty resort, municipal and daily-play courses offering the same challenge of the mountain terrain.

Four distinct seasons of play are a highlight of mountain golf. Spring play is popular from late March through May with cool temperatures and the bright colors of spring flowers. Summer offers cooler mountain temperatures than the rest of the humid southern summer, while autumn provides a spectacular display of leaves on the mountain slopes amid warm, sunny days. Winters are the greatest surprise since snows rarely cover the courses for more than a few days and the winter sun often brings daytime temperatures into the 40s and 50s.

The lure of the mountains offered a unique design challenge to the dean of American golf course designers, Donald Ross. He designed several courses in Western North Carolina, including the newly renovated course at The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa course. Continuing the tradition, Great Smokies Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort also maintains its own 18-hole championship course.
