Golf Experience

Aggie’s Dream.

Designed by Ellis Maples and considered his architectural masterpiece, Grandfather Golf and Country Club offers an internationally renowned Championship Golf Course that has consistently ranked among America’s Top 100 Golf Courses.

For Ellis Maples, this stunning mountain was a natural canvas to showcase his talent. As he stated in a letter dated 1965, “The magnificent scenery afforded by the west slope of Grandfather Mountain as it towers above the Linville River Valley provides a golf setting that is unequalled in North Carolina. Tremendous trees line the fairways, and the lake, streams, and topography afford opportunities for a great variety of interesting golf holes.”

Certainly, his vision came to fruition. Golf World calls the walkable mountain course, “the most beautiful and certainly one of the best courses in the country.” Members have unlimited access to 36 holes through the Championship Course and Mountain Springs executive course, along with a practice range to perfect their game.
