Courses With Scenic Views
Lake Lure is a man-made lake spanning 720 acres, with clean beach areas and access to the Blue Ridge mountain range. Golfers get some amazing views, depending on where the course is located. For beautiful views, try Rumbling Bald Resort, a mountain resort that prides itself on being a scene location in the movie Dirty Dancing. With two courses to choose from, Rumbling Bald Resort boasts 36 holes of championship golf. The Apple Valley course, named one of the most beautiful mountain courses by Golf Digest, provides rolling terrain and a challenge for all skill levels. The Bald Mountain course, built in 1968, is a classic course that features rock-faced cliffs and tight fairways.
Just Nine Holes
If you are not up to 18 holes, try the Lake Lure Municipal Golf Course on Memorial Highway, which first opened its doors to the public in 1936. With 2,863 yards of golf and a par of 36, this course appeals to a wide range of abilities. For lots of extra amenities, head to Wyndham Resort at Fairfield Mountain for access to two golf courses, along with swimming pools, spa, area horseback riding, tennis, boating and fishing.
Branching Out
If you venture out a bit from Lake Lure proper, there are even more golf courses available. Bright's Creek Golf Club in Mill Spring, designed by Tom Fazio, is an 18-hole course with 7,435 yards of golf with a par of 72.
