Broadmoor Golf Links

Broadmoor Golf Links is a unique, 18-hole golf course in Fletcher, North Carolina. Located 15 miles south of Asheville in western North Carolina where private golf predominates, this Karl Litten design has been a popular, public, daily fee tee-time option since it opened in 1993. Though the Blue Ridge Mountains surround the golf grounds, this is not a mountain course. Broadmoor Golf Links calls itself the only links-style layout in the region, but many golfers say it reminds them of a Florida layout. The playing field rambles on very flat terrain with water looming on twelve holes. The French Broad River Valley runs through a few of the fairways. Broadmoor Golf Links s wide fairways enable golfers of widely varying skill levels to have a fun time on this challenging layout. With five sets of tee markers ranging from 4,069 yards to 6,921 yards, everyone can find a manageable distance to play from. Just bring plenty of golf balls. Litten s layout calls upon players to execute a few exciting shots over water. On several other holes the hazards loom hard by the landing areas and greens. Bunkers add still more defense of par around the greens. Broadmoor Golf Links features medium-size putting surfaces with modest undulations and breaks. True to the links-style game, both aerial shotmaking and bump-and-run plays along the ground come in handy at Broadmoor Golf Links. All four of the par 3s are long, as are three of the four par 5s. Only the short par-5 18th is readily reachable--It gives many players a good chance to make a birdie and go home happy. Broadmoor Golf Links prides itself on keeping the pace of play moving at a four-hour clip per round. This is a lovely course to walk. Practice facilities include a driving range, a chipping green and a putting green. The spacious clubhouse features a fully-stocked pro shop, men s and women s locker rooms with shower facilities, banquet rooms for outings, a bar and grill dining area, and an outdoor veranda. For a memorable round on a picturesque playing field just outside of Asheville, make a tee time at Broadmoor Golf Links.
