The Ultimate Asheville Golf Getaway Itinerary: 4 Courses in 4 Days
In Asheville, a good round doesn’t end at the 18th hole. It carries into long lunches, slow pints, mountain air that resets your shoulders, and nights that stretch just enough to feel earned. This great fore-day golf getaway is built for players who appreciate classic courses, thoughtful layouts, and the space between tee times where conversation deepens and stories collect.
Four days. Four courses. A rhythm that lets you play hard, eat well, and settle into the kind of trip that feels grounded instead of rushed.
Day 1: A Local Classic Sets the Tone
Enjoy A Breakfast Ball
Start downtown at The Med, a longtime Asheville staple where breakfast leans Mediterranean and unpretentious. Plates come hearty and familiar: eggs with hummus and pita, straightforward morning staples, and strong coffee that doesn’t overcomplicate the moment. It’s the kind of place that lets you ease into the day before the first tee.
18 Holes of History
Your opening round is at Asheville Municipal Golf Course — a Donald Ross design from 1927 that’s walkable, strategic, and honest. “Muni” doesn’t show off. It asks you to think, manage your game, and respect the routing. It’s a course with deep roots — the site of the annual Skyview Open, the area's oldest golf tournament dating back to 1961, and an event that welcomed Black and white players to compete together during times of social unrest. Lee Elder, who won on the PGA Tour and was the first Black golfer to compete in the Masters, won three straight Skyview titles from 1962 to 1964.
Note: Asheville Municipal Golf Course is currently undergoing renovations after Hurricane Helene. Please check course availability before playing.
After the Round
Once the scorecards are signed, head to Highland Brewing, Asheville’s oldest brewery, founded in 1994. Order a pint of Gaelic Ale or AVL IPA and settle in.
Lunch Spot in the Village
Grab a delicious burger and a brew at Hillman Brewing in Biltmore Village. It's a great place to unwind after a long day on the course, and a perfect spot to enjoy a meal in its outdoor dining space.
Make Dinner a MICHELIN Star
Luminosa at the Flat Iron Hotel, one of Asheville’s standout restaurants, was recently recognized in the MICHELIN Guide for its elevated, season-driven cuisine. Check out this list of other Asheville MICHELIN award winners when making your dinner decision.
Cap the Night
End the night at Times Bar, where classic cocktails and an unhurried downtown energy make for a clean close to Day One. Looking for some more evening options? Check out our guide to a late night in Asheville.
Day 2: Mountain Views are Par for the Course
Avoid the no-Breakfast Bunker
Nothing starts the round worse than an empty stomach, so begin Day 2 at Yellow Mug Coffee Lounge, a Weaverville favorite known for house-roasted coffee, baked-from-scratch pastries, and hearty breakfast sandwiches. It’s an easy, no-frills stop that fuels the day without slowing it down.
Drive into Stunning Scenery
Reems Creek Golf Club is just minutes away and offers elevation, scenery, and strategy. Mountain views frame the round, but accuracy and decision-making keep you honest. It’s a course that rewards focus without demanding perfection.
Post-Round Bevies
Back in Asheville’s River Arts District, settle in at New Belgium Brewing. Beers by the French Broad River, wide-open patio space, and an unhurried pace make this an ideal post-round reset. It's also a great starting point to check out some of the RAD's world-famous galleries.
Chill Hang with Big Flavor
Dinner is at The Bull and Beggar, a River Arts District favorite known for thoughtfully sourced ingredients, wood-fired touches, and a menu that balances comfort with craft.
Tequila & Music
Finish the night with live music at The Grey Eagle — a dialed-in room that brings touring acts and local energy together without pretense. Before heading to the show, stop by Anoche Tequila Bar for a quick pour or cocktail.
Day 3: Small Town, Big Day
It's All Gravy
Start the day in Black Mountain at Open Oven. Breakfast sandwiches on house bread, biscuits with gravy, pancakes, and strong coffee set the tone before a shorter drive and a relaxed round. Or if you're looking for lighter fare, Dripolator Coffeehouse is a great spot for delicious coffee, smoothies and pastries.
A Par 6??
Black Mountain Golf Course is approachable and scenic, known for its friendly layout and the memorable par-6 17th hole. It’s the kind of round that invites conversation and keeps the day light.
Note: Black Mountain Golf Course is currently undergoing renovations after Hurricane Helene. Please check course availability before playing
Pub Crawl
After your round, stay in Black Mountain for a compact brewery crawl that keeps the afternoon easy. Start with a pint at Black Mountain Brewing, move on to Lookout Brewing Company for patio pours and mountain views, then finish at Pisgah Brewing Company, a regional favorite with a wide tap list and laid-back energy before dinner.
Oh, Hell Yeah!
Dinner lands at Hell or High Water, where comfort-forward plates and thoughtful execution make for a satisfying close to the day. There are plenty of other Black Mountain restaurant options to choose from, as well!
Pump it Up
Cap the night at the Town Pump — a Black Mountain institution where the drinks are straightforward and the stories get better as the night goes on. Pro Tip: This is a cash-only establishment.
Day 4: A Hole-in-One Experience
Breakfast Buffet
Your final day slows the pace and widens the view. Today is about spending ample time on the grounds of the Omni Grove Park Inn and Spa, moving between a classic morning round, long meals, and unhurried moments that make the most of the resort’s architecture, mountain setting, and century-old sense of hospitality. Start the morning at Blue Ridge, the Omni Grove Park Inn and Spa's farm-forward breakfast buffet for omelets, pastries, fruit, and plenty of fuel for one last round.
Donald Ross Inspired
Set against the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Omni Grove Park Inn Golf Course blends Donald Ross design principles with a walkable, par-70 layout that features elevation changes and strategic greens that reward thoughtful play over power.
Spa Lunch
Keep lunch light at the Spa Café with salads, sandwiches, and smoothies before settling into the afternoon.
Sunset Dining
Wrap the trip with dinner at Sunset Terrace — steaks, seafood, and sweeping Blue Ridge views that feel earned after four full days.
End it Strong
Wrap up at the Great Hall Bar, where stone fireplaces, classic cocktails, and an easy hum make it a natural place to share trip highlights and toast a few well-played rounds.
