home Plan Your Asheville Golf Trip in 60 Seconds Mountain golf and more breweries than you can handle
Asheville sits in the Blue Ridge Mountains and offers a completely different vibe from the coastal Southeast. The courses are mountain-style -- elevation changes, dramatic views, and cooler temperatures even in summer. Off the course, Asheville has more breweries per capita than any city in America, a world-class food scene, and the Blue Ridge Parkway at your doorstep. It's the golf trip for the group that also wants to eat, drink, and explore.
