Golf at Walnut Cove

Asheville's only private gated golf course.

There are so many places to begin the story of golf at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. The game here is as it was intended, inextricably a part of nature. Here, just below the Blue Ridge Parkway, the front nine winds across open fields that were once farmlands, the back nine through cascading streams and native woodlands of mountain laurel. Thanks in no small part to Jack Nicklaus, that feeling of aaah happens on every tee. But there’s more, much more.
