Blowing Rock Country Club

Set on a 3,500-foot ridge at the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Blowing Rock Country Club delivers classic Seth Raynorgolf with cool summer temperatures and postcard-worthy vistas. The private 18-hole layout, originally opened in 1915 and meticulously restored by architect Kris Spence in 2017-2018, stretches to 6,100 yards (par 72) over rumpled mountain terrain. Narrow, tree-lined corridors, strategic Raynor bunkering and subtly contoured greens place a premium on accuracy and deft short-game touch while still welcoming higher handicaps with multiple tee options. Golfers warm up at a driving range, putting greens and practice facilities staffed by PGA professionals. The season typically runs May through October, making the course a coveted high-country escape from summer heat. Beyond golf, members enjoy a lodge-style clubhouse with casual and fine dining, expansive terraces overlooking the course, plus tennis (Har-Tru courts), fitness facilities, and comprehensive recreation programs. If you're seeking timeless mountain golf in a refined yet relaxed setting, Blowing Rock Country Club fits the bill.
