October in Boone is pretty nice. Might be a touch chilly, but nothing too bad. The leaves will be changing at higher elevations. Note: the falling leaves get very thick at some places. I've lost discs in the middle of the fairway when the disc slides under some thick leaves. And off the fairway can get pretty nasty.
Ashe County Park is the best course in the state. I'd rather play that a couple of times than a few of the more boring courses in Charlotte. But Charlotte has a lot of courses, and several really good ones. If you want to pad your stats by adding 10 new courses, then Charlotte. If you want to play 2-3 amazing courses on amazing properties, with more time driving around and looking at the pretty leaves, then Boone.
