About the course

Open afer a year-long closure from damage from Huricane Helene! Sugaree offers a diverse collection of 28 holes which weave along the contour of Sugar Mountain at 4,000 feet elevation. Boulder outcroppings, cliffs and ledges provide elevated tee pads and precarious basket locations. Most holes are tightly wooded and the course intersects with our Fraser Fir Christmas tree farm for an added open component. Extremely challenging !

Rich is a great host. He was very communitive and helped us find our way around the course. Baskets and signage are good, but I would recommend using Udisc to help find your way because the layout is different since the hurricane. Bathroom, water, and snacks at the half way point is a nice touch. Definitely a great destination course, especially if you're in the area for North Cove.

This is by far my Top Favorite courses in North Carolina! (Out of the 420+ NC courses I’ve played.) The rock formations and basket placements are jaw dropping. This course has the most incredible terrain and beauty in all of North Carolina! I rated “Course Beauty” as 20 on a scale of 10! Be prepared for a mountain hike, but play all 30 holes. There are some stunning views, and the owners are super nice! Sugaree is a true destination course that is worth driving 12 hours to play and then going home!
