CHESTNUT MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB

The elevation changes through the Blue Ridge foothills create dramatic downhill tee shots that can add 30 yards to your drive, while the mountain laurel and native hardwoods frame fairways that demand course management over pure distance. Water comes into play on seven holes, including a devilish par-3 17th where the green sits on a peninsula jutting into a mountain-fed pond. The bentgrass greens roll true at 4,200 feet, and the weekend warrior will appreciate how the front nine opens up your swing before the back nine tightens the screws with narrower landing areas.
