Grove Park Inn Golf

Discover the course that Golfweek magazine included in its 2005 "America's Best" listings and Golf Digest named in 2004 as "one of the ten best courses in the United States that is 100 years old or more." Designed by the legendary Donald Ross, the course is rated as the 8th best in North Carolina (five of the seven courses rated higher located at legendary Pinehurst). This is a shot-maker's course, emphasizing accuracy over power in its 6,720 yard, par 70 layout. From beneath the crest of Sunset Mountain, the players' ascent from the somewhat flat, yet undulating front nine to the gentle slopes and sometimes steep inclines and descents of the back nine, allows it with it spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The course is immaculately maintained and is considered one of the finest conditioned courses in North Carolina.

In 2001, the resort undertook an ambitious $2.5 million program to restore the course to the past glory and spirit of its original design. The restoration program was a success  and led to a number of accolades, including Golfweek's "Best Restoration" designation in 2002. Changes were made at every hole, either to improve playability or  aesthetics.  As early as 1919, British golfing greats Harry Vardon and Ted Ray made summer stops here to play exhibition matches. From 1933 through 1951, the PGA Tour came yearly, bringing to the course such golf immortals as Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead and Byron Nelson. Recent exhibitions have featured PGA stars Doug Sanders, Gene Littler, Fuzzy Zoeller and Chip Beck. Hall-of-Famers Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino and Gary Player have also walked these legendary fairways and greens.

Don't miss your chance to experience this beautiful course.
