More Event Information

Join us at the spectacular Apple Valley Golf Course at Rumbling Bald Resort, Lake Lure for a great day of golfing and fun on Monday, October 5, 2020. All proceeds will benefit PAWS of Rutherford County. Shotgun starts at 9:30 am.

Apple Valley will start its transition from its original Bentgrass greens to smooth-rolling Champion Bermuda in June of 2020 and will complete the process before the PAWS Tournament commences. Champion was chosen for its superior performance profile, heat tolerance, and maintainability. It has speeds up to two feet faster than other ultra dwarf cultivars as measured by stimpmeter. “We provide our golfers with the best possible experiences and Champion Bermuda checked all the boxes,” says Rumbling Bald General Manager Jeff Geisler. “Dan Maples’ layout and routing at Apple Valley is so pure from tee to green that smooth, true rolling Champion greens are the perfect fit.”

Apple Valley opened in 1986 with rave reviews and was called the “most beautiful mountain golf course” by Golf Digest. It was designed by Dan Maples, son of the great Ellis Maples, and he carved out of the valley a masterpiece. The Apple Valley course offers wide fairways and large, undulating greens. It has a layout that will take you through the valley, then up towards Youngs Mountain, and then back down again. You will leave telling yourself that the back nine is one of the most beautiful you have ever played. It is a great course for all levels of players and is a true hidden gem.
