Forest City Municipal Golf Course

About Forest City Municipal Golf Course

This municipal track in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains punches well above its weight for a small-town course. The layout takes advantage of the rolling terrain without beating you up, offering honest golf that rewards good shots while giving average players room to breathe. What sets Forest City apart from typical munis is its walkable design and the fact that you can still stroll the fairways without being rushed by cart-only policies that plague so many courses these days. At four stars from nearly 150 reviews, locals clearly appreciate what they have here. The conditioning stays surprisingly consistent for a municipal operation, and the green fees won't leave you questioning your financial decisions. While it may not have the pedigree of resort courses an hour away in Asheville, Forest City delivers the kind of unpretentious golf experience that keeps you coming back – especially when you factor in the mountain views and the ability to walk off a big meal at the 19th hole.
