Crowder Mountain Golf Course

Right next to Kings' Mountain is Crowder Mountain SP NC... 

Hiking trails link both Crowder and Kings MountainState Parks,

 And around them sit a number of small communities 

with beautiful old antebellum houses 

and historic buildings

Clinging to the flank of Crowder Mountain, with beautiful views of the mountain's 150 cliffs  beyond is the Crowder Mountain Golf Club.

This course's claim to fame is that it has the most challenging hole in the world.  Crowder Mountain's  Hole #5  is a downhill tee shot, across a pond,  into a very small green with very little tolerance for inaccuracy.

 Both Bruce and I enjoyed the challenge that this par three mountain course offered, but  we equally enjoyed the lack of crowds and the beautiful surrounding scenery..
