Brasstown Valley

Ah, it's time now to spend some time out on the greens.
There are many Golf Courses in this tri-state area so you'll have to try some out of these local ones.
The Golfer's life is always a hole-in-one in our beautiful mountains.

The Ridges For an inspiring day of golf amidst mountain views, head for our 18-hole, par 70 championship course. Designed by Willard Byrd, it holds challenges for golfers of all levels, from beginner through advanced. The course is located at our new Country Club in Hayesville, NC a quick ride from The Ridges Resort & Club Lake Chatuge. The pro shop offers anything one might need for a day on the links.

I don't golf (I don't do most of what your series is about, lol!) but I do appreciate a beautiful golf course, and yours look fabulous! I'm looking forward to the next post on scenic drives...now that is something I can get excited about!

Hi Sharon - How can you be doing these outdoor activities - you're always being so creative staging, making costumes and sharing all your great tips with us. I don't golf either, but do love how meticulously they are kept.

I want to go to Brasstown Valley! Several years my husband and I rented a cabin nearby and we spent some time checking it out with hopes of coming back. Thanks for the reminder!

Finally! Thanks for the post. I do golf and all that water is going to do me no good, because guess where my ball will end up. But they do look like beautiful courses. I did, by the way, start at Golfing in the Rain Channel. I am surprised there is not more interest in golf amongst the AR community.

I know Jane, in honor of you :) I never got into Golf, but with these beautiful courses and the weather here I'd really like to. Come visit NC and maybe we'll hit some balls in the lake together.

Hi Lee & Carol! Beautiful photos and excellent Localism presentation! Golfing is huge in NC, isn't it? Our mild weather makes it a great state for all outdoor activities, doesn't it?

Have a wonderful weekend...

Hi Debbie - North Carolina is the perfect state to enjoy the season changes and all the many great outdoor activities. Our Golf Courses are some of the most beautiful. We wouldn't want to live anywhere else, would we? Thanks for stopping by and have a great Fall weekend in the mountains!
