What an amazing day we had at Sugar Mountain. The course was absolutely stunning with photo worthy views on almost every hole. The crew has done a great job, putting things back together after Hurricane Helene. The staff in the pro shop was very friendly, and in particular Babette‘s husband was fantastic. He helped us on the retail side of things as well as course tips and tricks. We will make this a staple on all of our visits to the area.

The course was in beautiful shape (except for the 16th hole which still under repair from Helene). I played twice as a solo. The bent needle greens were challenging. Great time.

I played Sugar Mountain Golf Club this past summer and just realized I never left a review—had to fix that, because this place definitely deserves the love. First off, the views are unreal. The course sits right in the middle of the mountains, and every hole feels like it was carved straight out of a postcard. You’ve got those wide-open scenic vistas, tree-lined fairways, and that crisp mountain air that somehow makes you feel like a better golfer, even if the scorecard says otherwise. The course itself is really well maintained—greens rolled true, fairways were in great shape, and even the more challenging holes felt fair. There were definitely a few moments where I had to stop and just take it all in before hitting my shot. It's that kind of place. I didn’t get to spend time at the practice facilities (showed up about 20 minutes before my tee time—rookie mistake), but I did see the range, putting green, and bunker area, and it all looked solid. Next time I’m showing up early for sure to get the full experience. Also, shoutout to the staff—they were super friendly and helpful, even with me rushing in last minute like a caffeinated caddie. Really welcoming vibe all around. Bottom line: I’d play here again and again for the views alone, but the course holds its own too. If you’re anywhere near the area in the summer, make this a must-play. Just maybe don’t cut it as close as I did.

Played it 7/28/24, I was a single and was paired with a dad and son, we had a great time. The course is beautiful and in great shape, fair price, staff was very friendly especially the starter Gary.

My family and I were in Banner Elk on vacation so I booked a tee time for my father-in-law and my daughter. The staff was very helpful, my family said the course was well maintained and very beautiful! Plus, they said lunch at caddyshack's was very good. Well worth the trip
