This is a shoemakers dream. Unlike most mountain courses, this one does not attempt to be so hard it can't be mastered. With a mountain stream running through its entirety bad shots are paid for in golf balls and added strokes. Most courses in the area are dishearteningly difficult with holes carved out if the side of a 45 degree slope. Check out the pictures and you will agree Linville Falls is a great course! Give them your business. 5 star friendly. The clubhouse is not fully stocked and that's the only downfall. I would have bought swag if they had any that's how much I like this course! Hit it straight!

This has by far been our favorite course that we have ever golfed. My SO and I live in Charlotte…read moreand almost every weekend we drive up to a few hours away in any direction from Charlotte to check out new courses and boy we were not disappointed with Linville. Being new to golf (less than a year), I found that this course is actually a pretty good course for all skill levels. The reason why I did not give this course five stars is because the greens were unfortunately not in the greatest condition at this time. Besides that, the course is really beautiful and we have every intention on returning.

In front of other golfers on the tee box he yelled and got into my face as if he was going to hit me.

Silver Creek Golf Club - A Hidden Treasure in the Foothills…read more I spent the last 4 days playing at Silver Creek while hosting and annual Ryder Cup event. If this course was in Charlotte, I would definitely be a member. It's a course you can play everyday and it doesn't feel the same. Below is a full review and I highly recommend you give it try. Nestled in the heart of Morganton, North Carolina, Silver Creek Golf Club offers a complete golfing experience that rivals some of the best-known courses in the region, yet still maintains its welcoming, community-focused charm. Course Layout & Playing Experience The course is beautiful, with a thoughtful and strategic layout. Silver Creek strikes that rare balance--challenging enough to test low handicaps, but fair and forgiving enough that mid- and high-handicap players walk off the 18th with a smile. The variety in hole design ensures that no two shots feel repetitive, and there's a natural flow to the round that golfers will appreciate. Conditioning & Pace of Play Course conditions are superb. The fairways roll true and set up scoring opportunities, while the greens are nothing short of excellent--quick enough to be exciting, but never unfair. Be aware of some of the down hill down grains putts though. They are so quick. The greens hold well, run smooth, and consistently reward a confident stroke. Silver Creek's commitment to 10-minute tee times is a game-changer. It allows for an unhurried pace of play, and my four consecutive rounds all finished in just about four hours--unheard on the weekends at the public courses where near my home. Scenery & Setting The mountain views are simply spectacular. From elevated tees and open fairways, you catch sweeping glimpses of the Blue Ridge that frame your round with natural beauty. Those views alone make any downtime an experience, giving Silver Creek an atmosphere that's as memorable as the golf itself. Hospitality & Amenities Equally impressive is the people. The staff embodies southern hospitality--warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure each golfer has the best possible day. After the round, Papa's Grill is the perfect capstone. The food is superb--well beyond what you'd expect at a golf course restaurant. Whether it's a hearty burger, fresh-made sandwiches, or daily specials, everything is served with the same attention to quality that you find out on the course. Final Verdict Silver Creek Golf Club isn't just a place to play--it's a place to return to, time and again. With a challenging but fair layout, exceptional conditioning, stunning mountain views, a staff that makes you feel like family, and a restaurant that could stand alone on its own reputation, Silver Creek has carved out a well-deserved spot among North Carolina's most enjoyable golfing destinations.

The golf course was in great condition, but definitely an interesting routing! A lot of target golf and hitting to specific landing areas instead of spraying it all over the place from the tee box which is always a fun change of pace. It's a little shorter than your average course but the challenge is in executing the shots. I'd definitely recommend someone to play here if they enjoy a course that's designed a little out of the ordinary. Great track!
