Balsam Mountain Preserve

Arnold Palmer Signature Golf

Balsam Mountain Preserve - Featuring an Arnold Palmer Golf Course

Just as Balsam Mountain Preserve has set a new standard in private mountain living, our Arnold Palmer Signature course is setting a new standard for mountain golf.

At elevations reaching 3,700 feet, our golf course rewards the senses with stunning scenery in every direction. The course rests on Mr. Palmer's belief that a course must be both truly beautiful and must serve the game of golf in its purest form─ the end result is a mountain golf course in a class of its own.

The design and slope of the course allows players to see every shot and provides generous landing areas, making it a pleasure to play regardless of the golfer's skill level. Head pro Brian Chapman declares golfers will use every club in their bag during their round. Click here to learn more about Brian and his team.

“Perhaps the most challenging question about the new Balsam Mountain Preserve golf course, located six miles outside Sylva and about 4,000 feet above sea level, is how best to describe it. Spectacular comes to mind”.
Ron Green Jr., Golf Writer, Charlotte Observer

"Balsam Mountain Preserve is one of the best mountain golf courses I have ever played. Arnold Palmer has created a masterpiece and the views and vistas are simple stunning."
