Grandfather Golf and Country Club, located in Linville, North Carolina, was designed by Ellis Maples and opened in 1967. The course lies at the foot of Grandfather Mountain, offering remarkable views and a tranquil natural setting. The layout winds through thick forest, with fairways mostly separated from one another. Several small streams flow across the property, intersecting multiple fairways. This is particularly evident on the par-four 15th, where water comes into play both in the fairway landing zone and near the elevated green.
