Close to Boone and Todd area, Scenery is beautiful and the river is easily seen. VERY hilly if you are into that. There is also a single practice hole at the base of the hill.

The biggest con is the rugged terrain. The entire thing is on a steep, eroding hill with broken limbs everywhere. It is not maintained year round and trash and leaves are left covering the ground. The tee pads and pathways are of the lowest quality, being that it is dirt covered and hardly visible. Speaking of hardly visible, numerous of the microscopic signs have been knocked down or removed altogether. The distance between holes was almost as short as the signs, commonly being 50 to 70 feet if going from the red tee. There is no course map anywhere to be seen or clear markings of the next tee pad and where the hole is. There are only 9 holes on this course, which in our opinion is usually fine because you can play twice. On this course, however, by the ninth hole you are ready to hit the road. The whole course is one back breaking hike that leaves you tired, injured, and on the phone with your lawyer.

We plan on returning to this course once more in the summer months to see if the course has been cleaned and restored. If so, we will leave another review to specify that the course is better during some months than others, which is still a con, but not as big of one if it is maintained from time to time.

Closest free course to Boone

Don't even bother going here. The holes are litterally 60 feet from the tee. All the holes are on the side of a hill with ridiculous amounts of brush not cleared anywhere. I'm not kidding about the size of the holes. Every hole should be a par 1. There is no course map or anything but it doesn't even really matter because all the holes are inside of 1000 square feet of overgrown, hilly, trash filled space. Do yourself a favor and drive the extra 15 minutes to Ashe County.
