Those with a passion for golf history may find a familiar name around Asheville: Donald Ross. The beloved golf course designer saw a beauty in the region’s painted landscapes, and used them as the foundation for some of his best work: from the Asheville Municipal Golf Course, one of the oldest in the state, to the course at Grove Park Inn, a historical spot noted for visits by Barack Obama, Henry Ford and other famous figures.

Wherever you golf in Asheville, you are greeted by lush, foliage-lined mountain views and the slow but sure change of seasons. The ambiance and room to play make this North Carolina hideaway a top choice for golfers to call “home.”
