Bald Mountain Golf Course

Bald Mountain Golf Course BM Golf Course is located at Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure. The 16th hole is featured in Dirty Dancing. Lewis. Hours of operation vary by season.

Rated one of the top courses in North Carolina by Golf Channel’s Golf Advisor, Bald Mountain Golf Course was designed by George Cobb (architect of the par-3 course at Augusta National) protégé W.B. Checking in at just over 6,300 yards, it is one of the only courses in the region featuring five par-3s and five par-5s. That includes both an opening and closing three-shotter, the 496-yard first hole,

and 479-yard 18th. Bald Mountain is the ideal complement to Apple Valley offering a decidedly different, yet unforgettable, golf experience. Dress Code: Proper golf attire is required on the golf course, driving range, and putting green at all times. No cutoffs, short shorts, tennis shorts, jeans of any kind, tank tops, track shorts, or halter tops are allowed. Proper footwear is also required. The use of metal spikes is prohibited on the course.

"This year marked the 23rd Annual Ladies Invitational Golf Tournament here at Rumbling Bald, and what a great week it was!

We were proud to host 100 ladies representing 25 different clubs from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Ohio. The event featured a two-person Best Ball format. The competition began on Tuesday with the first round being played at Apple Valley Golf Course and concluded on Wednesday at Bald Mountain Golf Course. The ladies were treated to a putting contest, five meals, a night of live music featuring The Otter Dogs, and 36 holes of golf.

We are incredibly excited to continue growing such a special event here at Rumbling Bald and are already looking forward to next year’s Invitational.

A special congratulations goes out to our Overall Gross Champions, our very own Paige Sheehan and Michele Butler, on an outstanding performance this week!

THE FIRST LIGHT FINDS US: There’s something about mornings here that never quite feels the same twice.

Before the first tee time is even a thought, before coffee is poured or the day begins to take shape, Rumbling Bald is already putting on a show. The light finds the mountain first, stretching across the face of Bald Mountain and bringing it to life in a way most never get to see. Quiet. Still. The kind of moment you don’t plan, you just happen to be there for.

Out on the course, while most are still asleep, our grounds team is already at work. Mowers moving, greens being prepped, details dialed in. It’s part routine, part rhythm, and it comes with a front row seat to mornings like this.

This photo, captured by Lance Allen, Golf Superintendent, is one of those moments. A reminder that the beauty of this place isn’t just something you see, it’s something that unfolds throughout the day. From first light on the mountain to the last putt in the evening, it’s always changing, always giving you a different reason to pause and take it in.

That’s what makes Rumbling Bald special. Not just the views, but the way they meet you, whether you’re out early with us or arriving later for your first shot.
