Local attractions include:
Mount Mitchell Golf Course is one of the most playable, while still one of the most challenging courses you`ll find. What I love about the course, is that you don`t get penalized for doing something right. The Asheville Citizen Times readers voted it No. #1 public course in the region, and Golf Digest rated it 4 1/2 stars.
