Glen Cannon Country Club is one of Brevard’s most popular golf course communities and a great choice for year round or seasonal living. The gently rolling terrain, wooded landscape, and the flowing creeks and waterfalls combine to create a beautiful backdrop for this mountain community.

One reason many people choose to live in Glen Cannon is the golf course. The 6,548 yard, par 72 course is one of the finest in western North Carolina and is maintained for year round play. No matter what your handicap may be, you’ll find four sets of tees to accommodate and challenge every level of play. And, it is well suited for those who enjoy a round of golf by walking the course.

Glen Cannon Country Club also serves up plenty of action on their five tennis courts. Two hard surface courts are open year round and three Har-Tru clay courts are available April through October. Two of the clay courts are also lit for night play.

In the summer months, relax at the oversized swimming pool with its two deep-water pods, large recreational area for laps, and shallow kiddie area for the little ones.

When we first meet people who are new to the Brevard area, there are two things they always comment about. One is how nice the people are and the other is how beautiful the area is. Of course, they're right on both counts.

With over 250 wateralls, pristine hiking trails, and clear clean mountain rivers and lakes, there is natual beauty everywhere you look. And because Transylvania County is home to two State forests - DuPont and Gorges, and the Pisgah National forest, the area is naturally protected from ever being over developed.

The Cradle of Forestry is a great place to learn more about the area's rich history of forest conservation. The Cradle of Forestry is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people achieve a better understanding of the area's ecology through education, information, and events for all ages.  According to the organization's website, "The 6,500-acre Cradle of Forestry Historic Site in the Pink Beds valley, NC, was established by Congress in 1968  and contains the first official school for forestry in America – the Biltmore Forest School. After purchasing land in the Asheville, NC area in the mid to late 1800's, George Vanderbilt was prompted by Frederick Law Olmsted to hire a forester to maintain his property. Vanderbilt selected Gifford Pinchot to restore and manage his massive expanse of lands. It was during this time that Forestry in America began."

If you're vacationing in the area,the Cradle of Forestry it's a great place to bring the kids. For instance, on August 7, celebrate Smokey the Bear's Birthday! Smokey is 66 years old this year and you can help him celebrate with cake and tons of fun activities. This fall, there is the Cradle Crafters Creative Connections - a display featuring the Cradle of Forestry's volunteers and their creations of fiber, wood, iron and more. In October, there is the Forest Festival Day where more than 50 traditional craftsmen, exhibitors and entertainers gather to celebrate our forests and forest heritage with live music, wood carvers, weavers, blacksmith, and a John G. Palmer Intercollegiate Woodsmen's Meet. This lumberjack-style event is organized by Haywood Community College. 

When you're in downtown Brevard, be sure to stop at the Forest Place Gift Shop at 66 South Broad Street. You'll find books, maps, great t-shirts, and other fun forest related products. Proceeds help the Cradle of Forestry continue their great work!
