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.

      I would agree with your assessment here. How are you at picking targets? Are you still aiming for the biggest part of the green or do you start flag hunting with a wedge in your hands? I don't really use this one. I would think that's a pretty good assumption, unless you have some weird combination of terrible from inside of 25 yards from the fairway and excellent from outside of 25 yards to offset that somehow, that it's primarily your short game from the rough that needs improvement. You can also go to the proximity by lie/distance breakdown in the overview tab to see more. For example, my SG stats look like this for the short game: But if you go to the proximity page, it paints a clearer picture. Don't forget you can hover over the bars on the graph to see how many you have taken from that lie. My short game inside of 25 yards isn't actually as bad as the SG stat would indicate, but it's completely skewed by my ineptitude out of greenside bunkers. Out of 101 shots overall inside of 25 yards, 22 of them were from the bunker. Many of them from the same bunker. Repeatedly. If you look at a glance at my 25-50 yard proximity stats, you might think it's the same issue, but it's not. Out of 41 shots overall, only 4 were from bunkers there, so that's not affecting the overall numbers too much. Same with the fairway stats, it looks like I do pretty well from the fairway from 25-50 yards out, but n=3. Not statistically significant.

      Shot a 37 with two birdies. 2 highlights which came on the same hole.  Had a 297 yard drive which set me up for a nice approach on my  nemesis hole which I walked off with a birdie. Previous best for ages was a bogey on that hole.  2 more added to the birdie challenge.

      I can just see Norman rushing in to LIV admin building with his silly shark hat gleaming to the Saudis, ‘ Gentleman! Have I got a great idea! Let’s have our OWN golf courses…like American football and NBA Does! It’ll really grow the game!’ He rushes out as the Saudis give him their encouragement. As the door closes and before the smell of Greg’s Brut cologne has even dissipated, they all laugh hysterically.
