are the Grove Park Inn and Country Club (shown on left),
Biltmore Forest Country Club, and Reems Creek Golf Club.

 There
is strong evidence that Mother Nature likes Western North
Carolina best. Nearby Asheville are the scenic overlooks
of the Blue Ridge Parkway and three national forests that
invite bicycling, hiking, mountain climbing, picnicking,
camping, or quiet drives. For information about
hiking opportunities in the area CLICK HERE. Mountain streams and lakes provide opportunities
for fishing, canoeing, rafting and water skiing. Fall
and winter are hunting seasons in North Carolina and game
- such as rabbit, deer, dove and quail - is plentiful.
With ten ski resorts, Western North Carolina has become
a winter sports center. Most resorts offer overnight lodging,
and all include modern lifts and snow making. CLICK HERE for a complete list of Western North Carolina
