Municipal Golf Course, also known as Buncombe County Golf Course, is a historic golf course and national historic district located at Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. The district encompasses one contributing building (the Clubhouse (1927)) and one contributing site associated with a course designed by Donald Ross and opened in 1927. The Municipal Golf Course was the first municipal course in North Carolina to be racially integrated.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
In September 2024 the front nine holes of the Municipal Golf Course were severely damaged by flooding of the Swannanoa River caused by Hurricane Helene.
