Golf
Located on the north end of Lake Lure, Rumbling Bald is unusual in being a Western North Carolina multi-course golf resort. Rumbling Bald is an hour's drive from Asheville NC and Hendersonville NC and about half an hour from Black Mountain NC. It features two 18-hole layouts: W.B. Lewis-designed Bald Mountain.
