Venue

Sugar Mountain Golf Course

Sugar Mountain, NC, United States

The course opened for play in 1974, designed by Frank Duane, previously the senior project manager for more than two decades for Robert Trent Jones, the undisputed dean of golf course architecture. The par-64 layout maximizes every mountain view, babbling brook, and rhododendron forest on the 60-acre site and features nine par threes, eight 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. Located in the Village of Sugar Mountain, it is in the Banner Elk area, near Boone, North Carolina. The course is a public facility in a region known for private country club communities. The location offers cool summer temperatures with typical afternoon highs in the 60s and 70s. Voted the #6 executive course in the USA, the Village of Sugar Mountain's public course is one of the most popular in the High Country of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. The Sugar Mountain Golf Classic is a championship tournament hosted by the Sugar Mountain Golf Club, featuring individual medal, stroke play competition.
