Golf at Rumbling Bald

Located on the north end of Lake Lure, Rumbling Bald is one of Western North Carolina’s only multi-course golf destinations. An hour’s drive from Asheville and less than two hours from Charlotte, it features two contrasting 18-hole layouts: W.B. Lewis designed Bald Mountain and Dan Maples designed Apple Valley.

Apple Valley

Designed by noted golf course architect and Pinehurst native Dan Maples, Apple Valley stretches to nearly 6,800 yards and features expansive views of Bald Mountain and the surrounding Lake Lure area. Maples estimated that 75% of all shots at Apple Valley are either level or downhill, which is nearly unheard of for a mountain course.

Bald Mountain

With its varying elevation changes and challenging mix of up and downhill shots, Bald Mountain is a true North Carolina mountain course. The W.B. Lewis designed course clocks in at 6,300 yards and has a unique configuration of 5 par 5’s and 5 par 3’s. Bald Mountain is the ideal complement to Apple Valley offering a decidedly different golf experience.

Both courses are open for daily play and tee times are required.
