Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure Welcomes Lance Allen to the Team

By Brian Weis

We're excited to introduce Lance Allen as the new Golf Course Superintendent. Originally from Shelby, NC, Lance spent much of his life in Myrtle Beach, SC, where he discovered his passion for golf course management. That passion began during high school while working at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club and later with the construction team at Grande Dunes.

Lance's career path took him to respected clubs across the Southeast, including May River Golf Club in Bluffton, SC, and the prestigious Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, FL. After a brief shift to the sales side with John Deere, he returned to course management as Superintendent at Woodfin Ridge Golf Club, where he served from 2007 until his move to Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure in March 2025.

"It is an honor to join the Rumbling Bald team, and I look forward to working with the guys to help Bald Mountain reach its full potential," stated Lance. "The crew has been wonderful and very welcoming, and they've already taught me a ton about the property. I can see some things we can improve, but a strong foundation has been laid. It's up to us now to carry on and make the course better every day."

Please join us in giving Lance a warm Rumbling Bald welcome-and be sure to say hi when you see him around the course!

About: Brian Weis

While Brian Weis has made a name for himself in the golf world, he also appreciates the finer things in life—like a world-class spa treatment after a grueling 18 holes (or even after a casual round where the only thing working hard was his golf cart). A self-proclaimed "golfer who enjoys relaxation more than practice," Brian has developed a deep appreciation for massages that unknot his questionable swing mechanics, saunas that sweat out a few too many post-round drinks, and infinity pools with views as stunning as a well-manicured par 3.

Brian’s spa journey began as a reluctant tag-along to couples' massages and resort spa packages but quickly evolved into a full-fledged appreciation for hot stone therapy, deep-tissue recovery, and the occasional seaweed wrap (don’t knock it till you try it). Now, he seeks out the best spa retreats, thermal baths, and relaxation havens wherever his travels take him—whether it's a luxury golf resort with a five-star spa or a hidden wellness gem perfect for unwinding in style.

On SpaTrips.com, Brian shares his experiences, reviews, and insider tips on the best places to soothe sore muscles, indulge in rejuvenating treatments, and find true relaxation—whether you're a hardcore golfer in need of recovery or just someone looking for the ultimate escape. After all, what’s the point of a bucket list golf trip if you can’t top it off with an expert massage, a hot soak, and maybe even a ridiculously plush robe"
