Serving American cuisine with a twist, house made desserts and pastries, crafted coffee and curated tea you'll be ready to shoot a personal best.
Round One at Holly Ridge Golf Links
Holly Ridge Golf Links is the kind of course that quietly surprises you. Known for its friendly staff and well-maintained fairways, it’s a great place to kick off a golf trip. The layout is player-friendly for mid to high handicappers, but there’s enough nuance and shot variety to keep more experienced players interested too. Expect wide fairways, a few water hazards to keep you honest, and a laid-back atmosphere that sets a chill tone for the day. After your round, unwind and enjoy the newly renovated bar and pro shop before heading to enjoy nightlife in Downtown Asheboro.
Post Round Fun
After your round, you and your group will be looking for some local food and fun. Downtown Asheboro is the perfect place to explore and hang out. If you find yourself looking for a steakhouse, Hamilton's Steakhouse is your spot. Serving amazing steaks and other delicious entrees Hamilton's is a sure hit every time. If local barbeque is more your speed, Black Powder Smokehouse has to be a try. Serving all kinds of smoked meat and mouth watering sides to pair, this smokehouse will leave you wanting to come back for a second plate.
After dinner there is still plenty to see and do. There are several local establishments to enjoy a few rounds like Four Saints Brewing Company, Lumina Wine and Beer, or Leo's Whiskey Bar. A new spot has recently opened up if you're looking for some late night fun. Hoover Hatchet House, with 8 axe throwing lanes, an escape room, pool tables, and a bar, is the perfect finale to the night in Downtown Asheboro.
Day Two
Before starting the second round, David's Restaurant is the perfect local spot to grab breakfast. Serving all day breakfast items David's will get you feeling ready to take on round two.
Round Two at Tot Hill Farm Golf Club
Tot Hill Farm is a Mike Strantz masterpiece, often ranked among the most unique and challenging courses in North Carolina. It’s scenic, dramatic, and full of character, with rolling elevation changes, rock outcroppings, and signature holes that will stick with you long after your last putt drops. This course demands focus, shot-shaping, and a solid short game. It’s not the place to chase a personal best it's about the experience, the views, and embracing the chaos of Strantz’s creative vision.
There is your guide to the perfect golf weekend in the Heart of NC complete with two amazing and unique courses. Whether you're chasing birdies or just here for the views, it's a quick golf getaway worth taking!
