The image below is our Muni golf course and the Swannanoa River on September 27th, 2024. The course suffered serious destruction, all following the beautiful renovation that was largely completed. The back nine suffered damage of as well, but much less, and the hope is it can be opened for play sooner. Commonwealth Golf, the City of Asheville and The Friends of Asheville Muni will work together to do all we can. The Friends of Asheville Muni (501c3) mission will need to shift a bit to help with these objectives until the course is reconstructed, but we will remain focused on making the historic Muni course all is has been and more to our community.   -FOAM

With over 41,000 rounds of golf played yearly and over 22,500 played by local Asheville and Buncombe County residents the course is well well loved and well played. With over 18,000 rounds played by visitors, this creates an off-course economic impact of over $300,000 annually in hotels, restaurants, shopping and entertainment dollars spent in Asheville.
