Apple Valley Golf Course

Apple Valley is the rarest of layouts. Routed through the Blue Ridge foothills surrounding scenic Lake Lure, this course is everything you want in a Western North Carolina mountain setting. Golf course architect Dan Maples, son of famed Ellis Maples, designed Apple Valley with the vast majority of holes playing either level or downhill. Stretching to 6,800 yards from the tips, it has hosted numerous championships and tournaments. With five sets of tees starting at 4,617 yards and subtle green complexes with gently undulating greens, Apple Valley is also eminently playable.

Bald Mountain Golf Course

Rated one of the top courses in North Carolina by Golf Channel’s Golf Advisor, Bald Mountain was designed by George Cobb (architect of the par-3 course at Augusta National) protégé W.B. Lewis. Checking in at just over 6,300 yards, it is one of the only courses in the region featuring five par 3s and five par 5s. That includes both an opening and closing three-shotter, the 496-yard first hole, and 479-yard 18th. Bald Mountain is the ideal complement to Apple Valley offering a decidedly different, yet unforgettable golf experience. Learn more here: https://rumblingbald.com/bald-mountain-golf-course/

In the winter months, our golf maintenance team works diligently to enhance the courses for the upcoming season.

“We have been able to take some of our mountain terrain and start to carve out a more playable set of courses. Purchasing new machinery and adding to our staff have given us the tools we need to attack some of the often neglected areas of golf courses,” detailed Adam Bowles, Director of Golf at Rumbling Bald. “We have been working hard this off-season to continue to add to the experience of playing these two very different, but very fun golf courses. That’s just the outside. The inside of each pro shop has seen a major renovation with new paint, flooring, televisions, and displays that will now truly reflect the vision of what we are trying to accomplish with our merchandise selection.”

Having two really great golf courses, that are filled with challenge to all golfers, is the backbone of the community. Each golf group that comes here can surely see that we are taking a more direct approach to upgrade our facilities and give people something new to see even if they have been coming for years.”
