The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa offers a wealth of activities for your pleasure
Ideally located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains and minutes from the historical downtown Asheville, N.C., the Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa is within minutes of a variety of exciting attractions.
During the summer guests can enjoy the many wonderful activities available to resort guests.
Sports Complex
The 50,000 square foot Sports Complex offers a wide variety of activities for exercise and relaxation. It is home to a great schedule of fitness classes as well as tennis clinics, tournaments, and special events.
The facilities include indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a racquetball court, an indoor pool, a gymnasium, a weight-training area with Paramount equipment, a cardio room, an aerobics classroom, table tennis, and Pro Shop.
Golf
Framed by the splendor of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the resort's course may just well be the finest expression of mountain golf around. Elevated tee boxes let you enjoy drives that seem to hang in the air forever. Lush tree-lined fairways roll out before you, crowned by fair and receptive bent grass greens. Rated among the Top 10 courses 100 years or older by Golf Digest, this recently restored masterpiece represents Donald Ross at his best.
