We are located in Madison County, in the area
known as Wolf Laurel in Mars Hill, North
Carolina.
Madison County was created in 1851 from Buncombe
and Yancey counties. The county, which was named
after President James Madison, has had a long
and colorful political history that dates to its
creation. It earned the nickname "bloody
Madison" for the fights over political ideology
that became polarized during the Civil War.
Marshall is the county seat of rural Madison
County, which is now home to the Wolf Laurel Ski
resort and Mars Hill College. The county also
boasts some of the most beautiful mountain
scenery, and the Appalachian Trail cuts through
Madison County.
Today, the county is becoming more and more of a
bedroom community to Buncombe County, as nearly
half of Madison's residents commute to Buncombe.
One of the biggest highway construction projects
in Western North Carolina's recent history is
underway, as state-contracted builders finish
the construction of 10 new miles of Interstate
26.
Wolf Laurel offers year-round enjoyment!
 Wolf
Laurel Resort was founded in 1965. It began as a
5,000-acre golf & ski resort, located 27 miles
North of Asheville, NC, with elevations ranging
from 3700 to 5600 feet.
The golf course, designed by William Lewis, was
finished in 1970. It is a challenging 18-hole
course with some of the most breathtaking and
dramatic mountain vistas in the country. You
will find fairways that drop more than 100 feet
from tee to green and holes that wrap themselves
around the sides of mountains.
Our area is always a haven for snow lovers as
Wolf Laurel Ski Slopes operate within the resort
boundaries. It has 54 acres of skiable terrain.
Fourteen challenging slopes are offered,
featuring varying degrees of difficulty to
accommodate the novice skier or the most
experienced expert. The longest run is
approximately one mile, and the overall vertical
drop is 700 feet!
Other fun activities within resort boundaries
include swimming, tennis, horseback riding, and
fishing.
If you like hiking and biking you'll love Wolf
Laurel Resort as it is host to a section of the
Appalachian Trail that runs across the top of
Big Bald Mountain. Several acres surrounding the
AT have been sold to the National Forest to
protect this pristine treasure. Hiking and
biking is a favorite pastime here.
