Located in North Carolina’s Isothermal Belt region, the pleasant weather conditions combined with the plethora of natural vegetation and sky-scraping tree lines almost mimic the feeling of sailing though a tropical rain forest.

5. Apple Valley Golf Course
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 16 reviews
Designed by noted golf course architect and Pinehurst native Dan Maples, Apple Valley stretches to nearly 6,800 yards and features expansive views of Bald Mountain and the surrounding Lake Lure area. Maples estimated that 75% of all shots at Apple Valley are either level or downhill, virtually unheard for a mountain course. Shimmering mountain lakes adorn 12 holes on Apple Valley, but water only occasionally comes into play. The back nine is widely regarded as one of the best closing stretches in the Western Carolinas. The par-3 14th hole, with its shallow green and back bunker, is reminiscent of No. 12 at Augusta National. Exhilarating par 5s abound throughout Apple Valley, including the straight-away downhill par-5 15th hole. Rumbling Bald and Apple Valley are proud to be a part of North Carolina’s “First Family of Golf.” Dan Maples’ father, Ellis, was a prolific golf course designer and his grandfather, Frank, was Donald Ross’s superintendent at Pinehurst Resort.

Reviewed By rmorin49 - Hagerstown, United States
The volunteers have done a wonderful job decorating this old bridge over the Broad River into a garden of flowers and shrubs. The collection of plants is extensive and they are clearly marked with their name. The bridge is suitable for people of all ages and even those with mobility issues. You can walk it in a few minutes if time is limited.
9. Buffalo Creek Park Mountain Biking Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25 reviews
Reviewed By KayC1737 - Dunkirk, United States
We hiked the Buffalo Creek Park 3.5 mile loop. The trail is shared by bikers and hikers and is well marked so that hikers head in one direction and bikers in the opposite which varies on different days of the week. The hike was moderately strenuous. Trail consisted of dirt, rocks, and tree roots. Great hike which we loved.
