ICYMI, we just shared the long + celebrated history of the Skyview Golf Tournament — and now we’re sharing how to attend for free.
Fans are invited to watch future pros and enjoy upgraded greens as rising stars from around the world descend on Asheville for the 64th annual event, returning to the Municipal Golf Course (aka The Muni) Tuesday, July 9-Thursday, July 11.
Skyview is sponsored in part by Explore Asheville and is the longest-running Black-owned golf tournament in the US. Here’s why you should go.
⛳ A rich history + new features
Since its debut in 1960, the prestigious tournament has helped launch 29 Black golfers into the PGA — a legacy captured in Paul Bonesteel’s critically acclaimed 2020 documentary “The Muni.”
For the first time, this year’s tournament will feature a select team of young talent from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, including Alabama State, Winston-Salem State, and Miles College.
🏆 Upgraded course
Thanks to a $1.65 million upgrade courtesy of the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority, the Donald Ross-designed course is looking its best in years, with updated greens, fresh landscaping + facility improvements.
