Description: From Mount Mitchell, golfers can travel the Blue Ridge Parkway northeastward to Boone, where the Boone Golf Club is waiting. Designed by the late Ellis Maples, a legendary designer from Pinehurst, Boone Golf Club is a wonderful public course with plenty of mountain scenery and straightforward golf architecture. Portions of the course are on some of the flattest land in the Boone area, and the 3,333-foot elevation of Boone makes for lush bent grass greens and fairways.
