Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains is one of western North Carolina's most played golf courses. Designed by Russell Breeden this 18 hole golf course is a treasure. With Bermuda fairways and bent grass greens the well placed bunkers on this course offer golfers a challenge to reach the large well defined sloping greens. The course was opened in 1968, and has been a mainstay in the Burke County area ever since. The course itself is considered by many to be hallowed ground, due to the fact that the " Over The Mountain Boys " met here under the Council Oak before marching to Kings Mountain, resulting in making our nation a reality.
