Plan your visit to Asheville and the Biltmore Estate
Asheville is the heartbeat of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A place you arrive curious and leave changed. Shaped by makers, musicians, chefs, and seekers, Asheville’s creative energy mirrors the Blue Ridge itself — layered, expressive, and deeply rooted in place.
September marks the beginning of Asheville’s fall season (one of the longest and most colorful in the world) and with it, a shift you can feel. Days hold their warmth, nights come cooler and clearer, and the city opens up in a way that invites you to settle in rather than move on. While you’re here for Biltmore Championship, pair days on the course with meals, music, and mountain air that stay with you long after the final round.
A must see in Asheville is the Biltmore Estate. Established in 1895, Biltmore was created by George Vanderbilt as a restorative getaway on a thoughtfully planned, self-sustaining estate. The property is still privately owned by his descendants and welcomes guests year-round for cultural experiences within its 8,000-acre grounds. Centered around Biltmore House, the 250-room château known as America’s Largest Home, this beloved National Historic Landmark is comprised of renowned gardens, conserved forests and farmland, 20+ miles of nature trails, Antler Hill Village and an award-winning Winery. The estate also features a collection of restaurants, retail shops and overnight accommodations including a four-star Inn, hotel, and private cottages.

2026 CHAMPION
JACOB BRIDGEMAN
Jacob Bridgeman turned a homecoming week into a coronation Sunday, firing a bogey-free 10-under 61 to win the 2026 Biltmore Championship Asheville by two shots. The South Carolina native birdied three of his first four holes, eagled the par-5 eighth, then closed with three straight birdies to finish at 26-under, earning him his second PGA Tour title.
Bridgeman's rise has been rapid: two years removed from earning his card through the Korn Ferry Tour, he now has two PGA Tour titles to his name in a season that also carried him to a career-high world ranking and a first Presidents Cup selection, cementing him as one of the tour's fastest-rising young Americans.
