This is an outstanding golf course. I played Tanglewood, host of the 1974 PGA Championship, a few weeks ago--Linville Falls is better. It is more interesting, challenging, scenic and enjoyable. The course is long and, at times, tight. It rewards good shots and punishes bad ones. I loved the layout, Lee Trevino's spirit runs throughout. The bunkers are well positioned, they do not interfere with accurate shots. I liked the greens very much, they are true to the read and the speed is consistent.

If you have ever wondered what it is like to play Grandfather Mountain Country Club, rated #2 in the state of North Carolina, but couldn't because it is private, this course is for you.

This is an outstanding golf course. I played Tanglewood, host of the 1974 PGA Championship, a few weeks earlier. Linville Falls is more interesting, challenging and memorable. Every hole is unique and presents both opportunities and dangers. The course has length, at times is narrow and the greens are firm and fair. The changing elevation from tee to fairway to green requires careful calculation to hit the right club. The sand traps are well placed, they will gobble up errant shots but are not designed to get in the way of good shots. If you have ever wanted to play Grandfather Mountain Country Club (rated #2 in the state of North Carolina) but couldn't because it is private, Linville Falls Golf Club is your option. I've played every public course in the mountains, this one is tops in my book.

The course is well maintained and the owners have done a great job of keep the playing field in shape while leaving the natural beauty of the surroundings untouched.

Lee Trevino redesigned this course and left his signature, charisma and personality all over it.
