Rumbling Bald Resort is the perfect place for a group getaway for business, pleasure, or even a bit of both, but planning a group trip can be something of a challenge, so we recently spoke with one of Rumbling Bald’s Group Sales Representative to get a few tips. Above all, they said to book early. “Most resorts book as much as a year out, so plan your trip as soon as possible, and be flexible. You should have several dates in mind when making the call to book the trip.”

There are also a few things to know when you call:

  • The number of people in the party.
  • Where you want to stay.
  • Book golf tee times, spa treatments, boat rentals, off property excursions, etc. as soon as possible.
  • When and where you want to make reservations for group meals at resort restaurants, or when you will want packed lunches.
  • What kind of meeting facilities will you need, and when.

This means some serious planning may be in order. Rumbling Bald Resort’s website can make this a much easier process with pages dedicated to accommodations, amenities and activities, the Spa at Rumbling Bald, and the Bald Mountain and Apple Valley golf courses. Contact and reservation information is available for every aspect of your stay, and the site even provides a handy guide to shopping and activities beyond the resort in Western North Carolina. When you’re planning, be sure to keep in mind what kind of group, and what kind of trip you want this to be. Many different kinds of groups visit Rumbling Bald Resort every year:

  • Golf groups
  • Family reunions
  • Military reunions
  • Girls’/guys’ weekends
  • Weddings
  • Group family vacations
  • Group/business retreats
  • Church retreats
  • Team building

Be sure to include both planned activities and free time, and don’t forget the kids and spouses who might be coming as well. Plan for them too. This might sound like a lot, but don’t worry. Rumbling Bald’s personal service representatives will work with you to plan your trip, to make sure that nothing falls between the cracks, and to insure that every aspect of your event is planned just the way you want. So, relax and let the staff at Rumbling Bald Resort make your group trip a resounding success.
