Let’s play some golf!!!

After careful consideration and tons of folks urging us to keep the page we have renamed the page “Friends of the Boone Golf Club”. There will be news and events in the future and we now have a place to connect. Thanks to all who love the game of golf and the BGC!

We would like to sincerely thank the 1,700 individuals who followed this page and showed genuine care for the future of the golf course. Our goal was to encourage ownership to preserve the course and to demonstrate our willingness to support and invest in its long-term success…and that goal has been achieved.
As a result, this page will be deleted effective immediately. While it’s disappointing to see negative comments after the time, effort, meetings, phone calls, and emails invested, we remain proud of what was accomplished together. Thank you to everyone who supported this effort. We look forward to seeing you on the course in 2026.

We are pleased to announce that Boone Golf Club will open for the 2026 season as a semi-private club. Ownership has also shared plans for several enhancements, including improvements to the putting green and adding a few new tee boxes. We are delighted to see continued investment in one of the premier golf courses in Western North Carolina. Our sincere thanks to the club’s owners and staff for their dedication and vision. We look forward to learning more about opportunities to support and contribute to the club’s continued success.

Hey folks so there has been some speculation that the owners may meet with the planning board on Monday evening at 6pm. I spoke with a planning board member and they said the golf course does not have a spot on the agenda. I asked could they still attend the meeting and speak? …and I was told not without an appointment. They would need to submit plans and allow the board time to prepare. We will have some folks stopping by town hall on Monday just to double check and confirm. Stay tuned…

Boone Golf Club redevelopment faces pushback at informal council listening session BOONE — The Boone Town Council held an informal listening session on a proposed redevelopment of Boone Golf Club that would add housing and a public golf entertainment complex while

Boone Town Council Meeting Update:

During the recent Boone Town Council meeting, the majority shareholders of the Boone Golf Club property presented their proposal to redevelop the site into a resort-style golf community. The property is currently zoned Residential/Agricultural, allowing for a maximum of two units per acre. In order to pursue their proposed multi-unit development, the shareholders will be required to submit a rezoning application.

Council members posed several key questions regarding the proposal:

Affordable Housing: When asked what percentage of units would be designated as affordable housing, the shareholders responded that they were uncertain but estimated approximately 15–20%.

Rental Restrictions: The Council reminded the shareholders that the area currently permits long-term rentals only. Even if the property were rezoned, short-term rentals would not be allowed under existing regulations.

Public Access to Golf Facilities: In response to questions about whether the redesigned 9-hole course would remain open to the public, the shareholders indicated that it would be a semi-private facility, with priority access for property owners. However, practice facilities would remain open to the public.

Greenway Connectivity: When asked if the town’s greenway could extend through the property, the shareholders stated that liability concerns would need to be reviewed before making a determination.

Floodplain Concerns: The Council noted that portions of the proposed development area lie within a designated floodplain. The shareholders responded that their design was based on the new floodplain map anticipated for release in 2028, which does not yet reflect changes following Hurricane Helene. The Council clarified that this updated map is not yet available for official use.

At this time, it appears that the Boone Development Group will need to revise its proposal to address several of the Council’s requests. In addition, environmental and traffic impact studies will be required. Final decisions regarding rezoning will rest with the Boone Planning Board and the Boone Town Council.

Several Boone residents spoke in opposition to rezoning the property, citing concerns over traffic, infrastructure capacity, and the potential loss of one of Boone’s last remaining green spaces and public golf courses, which serve as important community and school resources.

One council member noted that, due to recurring flooding issues, the property may be among the least suitable sites in the area for large-scale development, second only to the Boone Mall.

We sincerely thank all community members for their participation and support. We will continue to keep the public informed as this matter progresses.
