Black Mountain Golf Club runs quietly through the town of Black Mountain, with holes set among trees and shaped by the area's elevation changes, giving each one a tucked-away feel rather than the openness of a resort or country club layout. Length is not the course's chief defense; the traditional routing places tee boxes close to the preceding greens, making the course as practical to walk as to ride, and the surrounding mountain scenery is a feature of the round.
The opening hole is a par 4 that plays straight uphill, where a tee shot just right of center can catch the slope and feed left to level ground, leaving an uphill approach to a deep green with a fall-off on the left. The first par 5 asks for a drive carried over a creek to the right side of the fairway for any chance of reaching in two, with bunkers flanking the green; in dry conditions a shot played short can be bounced on.
