Sugar Mountain, North Carolina
The Sugar Mountain Golf Club may be the best kept secret in mountain golf, but not for long. Located just minutes from Boone, Banner Elk and the Blue Ridge Parkway, the 18-hole municipal course is "Everyman's Golf Course" in a region home to some of the world's premiere private country club communities. Designed by the late Frank Duane, longtime project manager for Robert Trent Jones, Sr., the executive course at Sugar Mountain features 9-par threes, 8 par fours and a single par five. At an elevation of 4,000 feet, the course features immaculate putting surfaces, hailed by those who play here as second to none. The layout courses through a verdant land rich in laurel and rushing streams and exploits every panoramic view the property possesses. Best of all, the course delivers an enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels. Find out what thousands before have already discovered. Sugar Mountain Golf Club is a "must play" while visiting the North Carolina mountains.
