Laurel Ridge is mountain golf at its finest. The Game as it was meant to be played. Selected as one of “America’s Best Courses” of 1992, Laurel Ridge Country Club remains one of the areas most beautiful and challenging courses in Western North Carolina.  Most recently, Laurel Ridge Country Club was awarded "Most Challenging Course" in The Asheville Citizen Times's Hole In One Contest & "Best Golf Course of 2005" by Reader's Choice of Haywood County. The course features bent grass and 18 holes of championship golf. Fast, undulating greens, lush tree-lined fairways and spectacular panoramic views highlight the course. Opened in 1986, the course was designed and sculpted by Robert Cupp, Jack Nicklaus’ chief designer for 14 years. The contour of the land, flowing streams, reflective ponds, sand and grass bunkers are all masterfully designed to give each hole its own unique character and challenge. The course offers every challenge expected of a mountain course, yet does it with a delicate balance of fairness and playability. “Every shot must be visible”, says Cupp. “If the player sees the shot, the player will remember the shot. My goal is for the players to remember the game.”  The scratch golfer can bite off as much of a challenge as he can chew from the back tees at 6904 yards, while four other sets of tees, blue at 6551 yards, white at 6093 yards, green at 5174 yards and gold at 4408 yards, allow golfers to choose positions based on their level of play.
