2 Grove Park Golf Course takes advantage of the beautiful scenery around the Omni Grove Park Inn. Grove Park Course Offers Chance to Play Premier Golf T he Grove Park Golf Course offers individuals the unusual opportunity to tee off on a legendary course in full view of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Swing into a round of golf on the legendary 18-hole course at The Omni Grove Park Inn. The 6,400-yard, 18-hole championship course has been played by PGA stars Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus, and even President Obama. The golf course at the Omni Grove Park Inn first opened for play in 1899 as the Asheville Country Club. Several designers were involved in the first course layout but it wasn t until the mid- 1920s when Donald Ross added his magical touch that the course began to garner renown. Over the years, Ross design was changed as greens were rounded, bunkers were moved or eliminated and tee boxes were modified. But in 2001, the Grove Park ownership made the commitment to a $2.5- million retro-design of the old course, returning it to the original Donald Ross plans of the late 1920s. Already considered one of North Carolina s better courses before the restoration, the Grove Park Golf Course received rave reviews after the Grove Park Golf Course offers golfers the chance to tee off at a legendary course in full view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. restoration, garnering national publicity. Golfweek proclaimed the course as the Best Restoration designation in 2002; Golf Digest listed the course as One of the ten best courses in the United States that is 100 years old or more" in 2004; and the following year North Carolina golf magazine ranked the course No. 32 among Tar Heel State courses, up from No. 69 the previous year. By today s standards, the Grove Park Golf Course rests on a small area only 80 acres with holes running parallel to each other. But thanks to with tree-lined fairways, golf holes separated by elevation changes, natural areas filled with tall fescue grass roughs or meandering streams that will dissect a fairway bringing water into play on six holes, the course seems bigger than it is, according to Carolina Golf Journal.
