Springdale Resort At Cold Mountain

Springdale Resort at Cold Mountain is an 18-hole course in Canton, Haywood County, in the mountains west of Asheville. The par-72 layout plays 6,812 yards and takes its name from the nearby Cold Mountain, made famous by Charles Frazier’s novel. The resort includes a driving range and lodging, and elite pricing reflects the mountain setting and course conditioning.

The course sits at elevation in the Pigeon River valley, with views of the surrounding peaks and significant changes in grade from tee to green. Mountain streams cross several fairways, and the thin air at altitude adds yardage to drives. The layout demands both power and accuracy, as narrow corridors through the hardwood forests leave little margin for error. Lake Junaluska Golf Course and Waynesville Inn are nearby for golfers staying in the Haywood County area.
