Lake Louise is the perfect suburb park, playground, and picnic area. It is about 10 minutes North of Asheville and it is a great asset to the Weaverville community. I know when I stop by, one kid runs to play with the ducks, the teens want to jog around the lake, some of the others jump in one of the playgrounds, while the others run over to the other smaller play area. I like to hang out on the benches meeting some of the great residents here in Weaverville.
Weaverville North Carolina is a strong community with the local Weaverville Police Department backed by the Buncombe County Sheriff's Department, and North Carolina State Troopers. Woodfin is also right next door to Weaverville, so their Police always supports this area as well.

Our Course Is Recognized As A Golfing Jewel Of Western North Carolina
Reems Creek Golf Club in Weaverville, N.C. offers a secluded setting that captures the splendor and rustic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and that has regularly won four stars in Golf Digest's “Places to Play.” Lots of the holes on this par-72 mountain course have elevation changes that test your ability to pick the right club to fit our terrain. You'll also find that most of our par-4s here are almost target holes that require accuracy and strategy. One example of a great placement hole is our 5th. You're hitting downhill on this short par-4 (348 yards from the back and 251 from the front). You'll see a large lake off to the left along the fairway and another one in front of the green. It can be hard to play this hole without crossing water. “It's our signature hole,” said Larry Carter, our director of golf. “It's not a tough hole, but when there's water to cross, it can be interesting.” The 9th hole here is a great par-5 that plays at 532 yards from the back and 455 from the forward tees). “You tee off and hit up to a plateau about 200 yards from the tee box where you'll make your second shot,” Carter said. “Then you hit downhill while trying to avoid the bunkers in front of the green. It's hard to reach the green in two; you really need two good shots to do it.” Our 12th hole (542 yards from the back and 419 from the front) is a par-4 that requires you to hit you ball up to the landing area. “The green slopes from right to left and you may find that your putt here will move very quickly,” Carter said.
On the 16th, a par-4, playing at 358 yards from the back and 268 from the front, has a pond to cross off the tee and a second lake at about 220 yards down the fairway. The fairway is nestled into an area that provides one of most picturesque views up the valley. You'll be making your second shot over the lake to a two-tiered green. You want to hit your drive about 200 to 210 yards to get as close as you can to the second pond. “But if you go too long,” said Carter, “you're in the water.” Our 18th, another great par-5, measuring 522 yards from the back and 456 from the front, can easily be viewed from the clubhouse dining room. So do you best as you putt out to impress the other golfers who are eating lunch and watching you from up above. You'll need to watch out for the lake off to the left as you pitch up to a much higher green or you could become the center of attraction.
Course distances, ratings and slopes: Blue 6,492 yards (71.9/133); White 6,106 (70.2/126); Red 4,605 (68.1/122).
