Going to Asheville for a couple of days in September (Will play at Grove Park Inn). I have the opportunity to stay 3 more days and wanted to go somewhere else near Asheville.
I have seen the ads for Waynesville Inn which is only 45 min from Asheville.
Has anyone been there? Any other suggestions in the area?

Loking for a place to relax for a few days and play golf with my wife without spending a fortune.

Can't remember the name of the course, but check out Maggie Valley. It is a town about 40 minutes south of Asheville on the way down to Bryson City. I have been to Bryson City several times (not golfing). Lovely area. Nantahala Outdoor Center (rafting) is near there and this is a great day trip if you like that sort of thing. Dillsboro has a dinner train ride, mystery theater, etc.. type thing on certain nights. Just a great meal and entertainment. For golf, check the one in Maggie Valley. And if you like BBQ, be sure to eat at "Butts on the Creek" in Maggie Valley. Awesome restaurant for lunch or dinner. We go every time we pass through. Tiger is building "The Cliff" near Asheville. Might be under way now, not sure. It is near Asheville. Also, some big time (PGA level) instuctional facility is going in there also. Heard about it briefly on Golf Central this morning. Lots to see and do in the area. Heading to Bryson City in mid June myself. Pm if you have any specific questions not related to golf. Spent lots of time up there, unfortunately not playing golf while there.

Trust me on the BBQ joint man. It is really unusually good. The restaurant sits in the woods along a creek. Pork butts, etc... "Butts on the Creek". Great place to eat. If you find time for a scenic drive and have a few hours, head south out of Bryson City towards Fontana Dam, keep heading that way and drive the Cherohala Scenic Highway. Google that for more info. Very expansive views along the NC/TN border. Take a picnic with you as there are some picnic tables at certain spots along the way. I think it gets up to 5,000+ feet and the views are great. Want a brief stoll through some heavily forested areas.. check out the Joyce Kilmer National Forest along the way to the Cherohala Scenic Hwy. You ride right by it on the way. Nice 1/2 hour to one hour hike along a well maintained trail. Up in Asheville, the Biltmore Estate is a must see if you have not been. Google that. Be sure to take a wine drinking tour at the winery. Top notch all the way with a brand new facility. Hourly tours, wine tastings, etc.. if you like wine, it is a must see. I will be in Bryson City for a week in mid June myself. Just a lovely area. Have fun.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
