Mt. Mitchell Golf Course
publicMt. Mitchell Golf Course near Burnsville holds a unique distinction as one of the highest-elevation golf courses in the eastern United States, situated at approximately 3,300 feet in the Black Mountain range near the base of Mount Mitchell — the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. The course plays along the South Toe River through a stunning alpine valley, with ancient hardwoods and rhododendron banks creating a natural cathedral effect that makes each hole feel like a step deeper into the wilderness. Designed by Fred Hawtree and opened in 1975, the layout is modest in length but compensated by dramatic mountain terrain, including elevated tees and approach shots that require careful adjustment for altitude and slope. The course has a shortened season due to its high elevation but attracts dedicated mountain golf enthusiasts who consider the Mt. Mitchell experience one of the most unique in American golf.

Mitchell Golf Course was designed by British architect Fred Hawtree and opened in 1975, conceived to provide a world-class mountain golf experience near the highest peaks in the eastern United States.
