Nestled in the heart of North Carolina’s majestic Blue Ridge Mountains in Linville, N.C., Grandfather Golf and Country Club is a private club community, owned exclusively by its membership. While the Club grew from a golf heritage dating back to the late 60s, its breathtaking location, rich amenities, and social, artistic culture continue to elevate the family experience — the vision on which Grandfather was founded. Charming homes, spectacular surroundings and lifelong friendships are immediately evident. Yet, they are just the beginning of the Grandfather story. https://www.grandfatherclubnc.com/golf-at-grandfather/
