ETOWAH - Arnold Palmer traded a golf club for a shovel Monday as he and his design team, along with developers, broke ground on the Palmer Premier championship course at Seven Falls Golf and River Club.
With bulldozers roaring in the background, the retired professional golfer spoke at a gathering of property owners and the media as part of the groundbreaking ceremony for the 18-hole course to be built off Pleasant Grove Road.
Seven Falls Golf and River Club will be a private community on about 2,000 acres along the French Broad River west of Hendersonville.
The natural beauty of the land was the primary reason Palmer chose the location for his Palmer Premier golf course, the first in the nation, he said.
"I think you've got so many advantages here," Palmer said. "Let's start with the property. You've got a perfect piece of property. It's as natural and inviting as anything we've ever seen for a golf course. The best part is you'll be able to play golf year-round because of the nice climate. I think people who are going to live here are very fortunate."
