Best Golf Courses Near Shelby, NC

Shelby may get overlooked at times by the larger cities that surround it, but this vibrant community in the foothills of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains is deservedly called “the city of pleasant living.” Golf is an integral part of that pleasant living. Locals and visitors alike look for bargains and good times at Deer Brook Golf Club, which Golf Advisor has rated among North Carolina’s best courses. Other popular tee times include the mountain-style River Bend YMCA Golf Course and Royster Memorial Golf Course, a surprisingly hilly 9-hole muni that’s open every day of the year except Christmas. All this golf and the vibrant Uptown Shelby district for shopping, dining and entertainment make for very pleasant living indeed in Shelby.
