Golf on Emerald Green Fairways
Sarasota Magazine
March, 2007
Come to Linville Ridge, a place where mountains tower over lush valleys, where golf is played on emerald green fairways under stunningly blue skies, and the average summer temperature is a cool 75 degrees.
Nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina, Linville Ridge offers a private mountaintop golfing experience that is literally above all. Soothing sunshine, gently swaying hardwoods that are as old as the hills, views that soar beyond the imagination and a collection of residences and amenities designed to satisfy the most sophisticated tastes combine to make this spectacular community the ultimate mountain golfing retreat.
Created by The Lutgert Companies of Naples and the renowned George Cobb, the Linville Ridge Golf Course is the highest golf course east of the Rockies, soaring on the fourth hole to an elevation of 4,950 feet. Naturally lush, the course is as widely acclaimed for its playability as for its spectacular views of Grandfather Mountain and the Linville Valley. The course has been honored by Golfweek Magazine as one of the 50 most distinctive development courses in the Southeastern United States and as one of the favorite courses in the Carolinas by the Golf Reporter.
