Asheboro Municipal Golf Course

Set in a modest, 56-acre municipal park a few minutes southwest of downtown, Asheboro Municipal Golf Course is a compact nine-hole public course credited to Donald Ross. Today the facility operates under the City of Asheboro's Cultural & Recreation Services, with a small clubhouse, pro shop, lessons overseen by PGA professional Andy Nelson, and community events that anchor the local golf calendar (including the Men's City Amateur, a juniors' tournament, and the NC 13-and-under Boys' Championship). The setting is enclosed by neighborhood streets and public works land, creating a self-contained course corridor with tree-lined fairways and short green-to-tee walks. Visitors encounter a par-35 loop whose rhythm hinges on one par-5 (#4) and two par-3s (#5 and #7), with yardages that reward position rather than power. The place feels unmistakably municipal in scale and budget, yet the routing negotiates a surprising amount of pitch on the property's north side and finishes close to the clubhouse for efficient nine-hole play. A practice putting surface is available; range accommodations are limited. As a city course, daily-fee access is the norm and fees remain modest by regional standards. In short, a playable Ross nine that serves its community more than it courts destination traffic.
