Golf courses in Whittier, NC.

Whittier, NC

Sequoyah National Golf Club is a public course near Whittier, North Carolina, owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and set on steep, dramatic terrain in the Great Smoky Mountains about 45 minutes from Asheville. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II with Notah Begay III and opened in 2009. The routing climbs and descends sharply across the mountainside, producing significant elevation change hole to hole and panoramic views of the surrounding national park land. Bentgrass greens and zoysia fairways were installed, with a later renovation converting bunkers to a capillary-concrete system and adding zoysia to the fairways for consistent year-round conditioning. Sequoyah National operates as a public course with a practice facility including a driving range and chipping area, and it is close to Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort. Annual memberships are also offered alongside daily tee times.

Smoky Mountain Country Club occupies a mountain site in Whittier, North Carolina, within the Great Smoky Mountains near the Nantahala and Great Smoky Mountains National Park boundary. The 18-hole course was designed by Thomas Walker, formerly of Gary Player Design, and covers just over 6,100 yards at par 71 with close to 400 feet of elevation change across the round. Fairways are Bermuda grass with bentgrass greens, and the layout is known for downhill approach shots from elevated tees typical of mountain golf. The club operates as a public golf course offering stay-and-play packages, daily green fees, and seasonal dining at the Persimmon Grille, along with individual and couples memberships. A separate real estate entity uses a similar name for an adjoining residential community, so buyers should confirm which website they are booking through before a visit.
