Randy, a third-generation golf professional, has worked in the golf industry for more than a quarter century. “I offer custom fitting and a wide variety of golf club repairs including regripping, reshafting, and loft and lie adjustments,” he writes on his website. “I enjoy the game of golf and look forward to helping others get more enjoyment out of this wonderful game. Golf is a sport that the entire family can participate in.” Everyone in your family will certainly enjoy the 18-hole mini golf course that wends throughout the park.
Most sites at the pet-friendly Riverside Golf & RV Park can accommodate pull throughs up to 44 feet in length, and feature 30/50 amp electrical, water, sewer, and Wi-Fi. There’s also convenient shopping and dining nearby, including Moondog Pizza, where they feature a slice of heaven!
If you are looking for a full on golf experience, Silver Creek Plantation Country Club is just six miles down the road. A par 72, 18-hole championship course, Silver Creek Plantation Country Club opened in 1995 and stretches to 6,708 yards from the tips. This hidden gem features lots of elevation changes, while on numerous approach shots you’ll need to add an extra club, and a prayer! Most greens are tiered and undulating, but your putt will roll true.
Located just a mile from Interstate 40 at exit 98, Silver Creek is an easy 20 minute drive to the town of Hickory with its furniture outlets, 45 minutes to Asheville and the famous Biltmore House, or a quick one-hour to the transportation, cultural, and sporting center of Charlotte.
