Course Description
Asheville Municipal Golf Course is a historic public golf facility in Asheville, North Carolina. Designed by Donald Ross in 1927, it blends classic course architecture with scenic mountain views and offers tee times, outings, and season passes. The course is undergoing renovations to restore its front nine after hurricane damage, and a temporary 9-hole disc golf setup has been introduced to keep the community playing during restoration. It is one of Western North Carolina’s oldest courses and remains a city-owned golfing destination.
